The Shroobs (in Japanese: (ゲドンコ, Gedonko) are a villainous race of poison mushroom-like aliens from the video game Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time that attacked the Mushroom Kingdom when Mario and Luigi were babies. They are a purple mushroom-like species ruled by Princess Shroob and her older sister. They are from a Shroob-like planet and most Shroobs carry ray guns with them. Despite looking a bit similar to the much more benevolent Toads, Shroobs are more fungoid in appearance.
