Spike Blops areSpiny-like creatures inhabiting theTrash Pit and thePump Works ofBowser's body andenemies featured inMario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story andits remake They are creatures with slimy teal bodies that are protected bySpiny Shells. Their English name is likely derived fromSpike Top's.
In battle, Spike Blops attack by shuffling across towardsMario orLuigi, but may instead jump up to and crawl along the ceiling to fall onto a bro, their shadow indicating whom they will land on. For the first attack, inMario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey, a Spike Blop creates a brief trail of slime as it moves towards Mario or Luigi.[1] In both cases, a Spike Blop can becountered with ahammer.Jump attacks do not work, since a Spike Blop's spikes damage the bro who tries, including from aFirst Strike. Spike Blops sometimes accompanyGoombules in the Trash Pit, andDried/Bubble Bloopers andProtobatters in the Pump Works.
