Throphers (originally known asMukumuku, and also calledMuku for short)[1] areenemies inSuper Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars. These gophers appear onStar Hill, and can be summoned usingThropher Cookies. Throphers fight alongsideMastadooms,Geckos andSackits, and attack by hitting a party member with their hands. Throphers can also throw an assortment of random objects used in other enemy attacks, ranging from normal projectiles such as bones and non-explosiveMicrobombs, to odd objects likecoins, to nonsensical visual effects like musical notes and tiny birds to attack the team; this is similar to the special attackMonster Toss used byCroco andLakitus.
