Thwomp

Thwomps are floating rock-like enemies in the Mario Series. Their way of attacking is smashing things beneath them. They fall down from the ceiling or the sky and try to crush anyone who goes under them or near them. A subspecies of Thwomps called Grindels move horizontally and they first appeared in Super Mario Bros. 3. Thwomps can be defeated with a Star, or Mario can throw Hammers at them as Hammer Mario. Most Thwomps appear in castles and fortresses but sometimes the can be found in deserts and underground areas. Some say that Thwomps are born in the Thwomp Volcano. Due to their rock-like nature, they are often categorized along with Chain Chomps and Bob-Ombs.

They can be walked across in any style and are slippery to stand on, but can be used as elevators in levels, provided you leave before they meet a surface. They don't return to their original position until they hit a wall, ceiling, or ground.
*Super Thwomp - A Thwomp that can move in any direction. Unlike Flaming or Frosty Thwomps, there's no gimmick attached to these. They move as fast as a normal Thwomp and don't have special properties. They don't return to their original position until they hit a wall, ceiling, or ground.
