'''Beezos''', also known as '''Shy Aways''' in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'', are a species of [[Shy Guy]]s that first appeared in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]''. Beezos use bidents as weapons and have insect-like wings on their back, which allow them to fly. The name is likely a portmanteau of "bee" and "bozo".

Beezos first appeared in ''Super Mario Bros. 2'', allied with [[Wart]] and the mysterious [[8 bits]]. They are present in two different varieties, those being a red type, and a type that appears green or gray depending on location. They attack by flying towards the player. The red type will dive at [[Mario]] while the gray/green type charges straight forward at set heights. Beezos first appear in [[World 1-2 (Super Mario Bros. 2)|World 1-2]].

Beezos reappear in ''Super Mario Bros. 2''{{'}}s [[Reissue|enhanced re-releases]], ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Advance]]'', in which they act the same, with the only difference being that they are recolored: the red ones became yellow, while the gray/green ones became red, with their original red and gray robe colors being used on their shoes respectively. In the latter version, which only has yellow Beezos, defeating a single Beezo gives 4000 [[point]]s.

Beezos make several appearances in ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]]'', usually serving as guards, and attacking in large swarms. In the episode "[[Love 'Em and Leave 'Em]]", instead of working for [[Bowser|King Koopa]] as usual, they work for [[Queen Rotunda]]. Near the beginning of the episode, they attack Mario and his friends, only to be defeated by vegetables. In the episode "[[The Fire of Hercufleas]]", the Beezos steal the "[[Great Balls of Fire]]" from Hercufleas. When the Mario Brothers, Toad, Princess Toadstool, and Hercufleas go to get the "Great Balls of Fire" back, the Beezos get stuck in a bowl of melted marshmallows.

Beezos appear in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'' under the name "Shy Away". They are found at [[Land's End]] and [[Bean Valley]]. Although Shy Aways command impressive magical abilities, most choose to [[flee|run away]] from intruders instead of fighting them in this game. Additionally, Shy Aways now show a love of watering plants, especially the kind that attacks others for them.

One specific Shy Away works for [[Valentina]] during her reign in [[Nimbus Land]]. This Shy Away is tasked with blocking the entrance to Nimbus Land, preventing any interference to Valentina's plan. This Shy Away grows a [[Smilax]] to block the pipe leading to Nimbus Land. After Mario defeats this first Smilax, Shy Away reappears and grows two more. Eventually, Shy Away creates the [[Megasmilax]], a gigantic [[Piranha Plant]] with magical abilities. Ultimately, Mario prevails over the plant monster, thus causing Shy Away to run away and accidentally drop the important [[Seed (Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars)|Seed]].

Shy Away retreats to Nimbus Land. Once there, he is ordered by Valentina to provide nutrients to [[Birdo]]. Mario meets up with Shy Away again, who tries to flee a second time. However, the door leading out of the room is locked, preventing Shy Away's escape. Once Mario opens the door by defeating Birdo, Shy Away flies to the throne room, warning Valentina and [[Dodo]] of Mario's arrival. After warning her, Shy Away flees for a third time and is followed by Valentina and Dodo, who also do not wish to fight.

After Valentina and Dodo are defeated, Shy Away attempts to escape Nimbus Land for good (through an invisible path off of the clouds), but Mario catches him, and he gives Mario the [[Fertilizer]].

The [[Flying Snifit]] of ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'' is similar to Shy Away, both in appearance and affinity to gardening.

In the Nintendo Switch [[Super Mario RPG (Nintendo Switch)|remake]] of the game, they now look the same as normal Shy Guys, and they are properly called Beezos.
