Toothy

Toothies are a variant of Pokey made of teeth. They appear as enemies in Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story, specifically in Plack Beach. On the field, they wander around, but if approached by Mario or Luigi, Toothies send out Blue Virus in pursuit.
== Battle ==
These enemies attack by walking into Bowser, but if they lack segments, they resort to sending out a Blue Virus with a spear to attack Bowser. Toothies can also gain their segments back on their next turn after the player knocks the segments off by a punch or a hammer. If Mario and Luigi engage in battle against the Toothy, they need to use a hammer strike to counter the walking attack (which automatically knocks away the Toothy's segments) and must jump over the Virus. Bowser needs to use his punch to block both attacks.
Bowser is able to inhale a Toothy's bottom segments to raise his defense, forcing them into a disembodied head state. Once he inhales the Toothy's bottom segments, the Toothy doesn't gain new segments, implying the new segments are actually the segments these enemies have in their bodies.
They sometimes drop Hot Drumsticks or TNT Drumsticks once defeated.
== Stats ==
Toothies are considered to be Level 10 monsters that have an attack power of 30 and a speed of 12. Their head has a maximum of 27 hit points and a defense of 42, while the body segments have only one hit point but can regenerate unless vacuumed up.
==Trivia==
*These enemies heavily resemble the Skellokey from Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time, except with a normal Pokey's face and the fact that their heads can be jumped on.
