Spike Blops are Spiny-like creatures inhabiting the Trash Pit and the Pump Works of Bowser's body and enemies featured in Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story and its remake They are creatures with slimy teal bodies that are protected by Spiny Shells. Their English name could be based on Spike Top's.
In battle, Spike Blops attack by shuffling across towards Mario or Luigi, 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, in Mario & 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 be countered with a hammer. Jump attacks do not work, since a Spike Blop's spikes damage the bro who tries, including from a First Strike. Spike Blops sometimes accompany Goombules in the Trash Pit, and Dried/Bubble Bloopers and Protobatters in the Pump Works.
