Growmebas are rare enemies inSuper Paper Mario. They are only found inGloam Valley (along with theirCatch Card),Merlee's Basement, and theFlipside Pit of 100 Trials. They look like dripping orange squares with a single round eye. Growmebas spawn clones of themselves that can damageMario and crew. Destroying the original Growmeba causes the clones to disappear as well. The original can be told apart by the concentric circles that appear and disappear in its eye (but not in the clones' eyes), as well as its movement patterns. Their name comes from "grow" (as its numbers grows), and "amoeba", a single-celled organism that can multiply at an intense rate.

TattleThat troublesome creature is a Growmeba. It can clone itself over and over again... Max HP is 2 and Attack is 1. If you defeat the main one, the clones will die... The primary one has slightly different moves and looks, so watch closely... If you don't want to bother, you could defeat them all with an item...
