Seedles are seed-like enemies that appear inMario & Luigi: Brothership onConductor Island andRumbla Island. They are the weakest enemies in the game and the first onesMario battles. They have brown feet, yellow bodies, black beady eyes, and a green sprout atop their head. Seedles, like most other enemies, wander their territory in the field aimlessly, only attacking when Mario and Luigi get too close to them; the Seedle's overworld attack is a simple charge.
Battle[edit]
Seedles attack by simply running into the Mario Bros., which can be avoided or countered by jumping. They can also roll coconuts at the Bros, which can also be avoided or stomped with a jump.
Seedles also have a stronger variant called theSeedle R, which appears onFlorall Island, and a water-possessing variant called theHydro Seedle, which appears on both Florall Island andLiil Islet and can heal other enemies. The Seedles on Rumbla Island later become infected withGlohm. There is also an enemy calledSeedlusa that resembles a Seedle at first before digging into the ground and transforming into a flower-like monster and can be found in theSoli-Tree.
TheBattle Plug "Seedle-ize" has a chance of turning attacked enemies into Seedles; this also affects the experience, coins and rewards obtained from transformed enemies after the battle. Bosses cannot be turned into Seedles.
