'''Shlurps''' are purple millipede-like enemies in the [[Wii]] game ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'', living in [[Gloam Valley]] and in the [[Flipside Pit of 100 Trials]] in rooms 13 and 15. There are tougher versions of the enemies named [[Shlorp]]s.

These creatures are almost invincible thanks to their extremely hard skin. The only way to defeat these enemies is to get them to swallow the explosive [[Boomer (Super Paper Mario)|Boomer]], which may be inspired by the similarly armor-skinned [[zeldawiki:Dodongo|Dodongo]]s, a well-known ''Legend of Zelda'' species that is defeated by throwing bombs into their mouths; they most specifically resemble the [[zeldawiki:Dodongo Snakes|Dodongo Snakes]] in appearance. Despite having lots of legs, they move very slowly, and keep going in the same direction even when they hit a wall.
