It is the largest [[Boo]], and unlike other Boos, the Boohemoth has normal human-like incisors instead of fangs, visible cheeks and chin, and it has two eyeholes with a white iris or sclera and black pupils. Boohemoth has a very low-pitched laugh compared to its fellow Boos. Its name is a portmanteau of "Boo" and "behemoth".
'''Boohemoth'''<ref>von Esmarch, Nick. 2012. ''New Super Mario Bros. 2'' [[Prima Games|PRIMA]] Official Game Guide, page 27.</ref> is a type of [[Big Boo]] introduced in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]''. It is the largest [[Boo]] in the [[Mario (franchise)|''Mario'' franchise]], and it is one of the few enemies in the franchise to be completely invincible. Unlike the other members of the Boo species, the Boohemoth has normal human-like incisors instead of fangs, visible cheeks and chin, and it has two eyeholes with a white iris or sclera and black pupils. Boohemoth has a very low-pitched laugh compared to its fellow Boos. Its name is a combination of "boo" and "behemoth".


Boohemoth appears only in two different [[Ghost House]]s: {{world-link|2|ghosthousen2|World 2-Ghost House}} and {{world-link|flower|ghosthousen2|World Flower-Ghost House}}. In {{world|2|ghosthousen2}}, Boohemoth appears in the main corridor. In {{world|flower|ghosthousen2}}, when Mario or Luigi swim through the flooded hallway, the water level decreases and Boohemoth appears. In these specific areas of the two Ghost Houses, the Boohemoth appears out of nowhere and starts following Mario and Luigi. It controls the movement of the camera. Just like normal Boos, if Mario or Luigi turns to face it, it closes its eyes with its hands and remains motionless along with the camera. However, unlike Boos, if Mario or Luigi stare at the Boohemoth for a while when far away from it, it will peek through its hands and inch its way to them. A Boohemoth's large size prevents Mario and Luigi from being able to go through, and he loses a life if he gets squished between Boohemoth and a wall. Boohemoth is invincible entirely, even from [[Gold Mario]], [[Invincible Mario]], or [[White Raccoon Mario]], so Mario and Luigi have to only avoid Boohemoth until making it to the exit.

In ''New Super Mario Bros. 2'', Boohemoth appears only in two different [[Ghost House]]s: {{world-link|2|ghosthousen2|World 2-Ghost House}} and {{world-link|flower|ghosthousen2|World Flower-Ghost House}}.

However, unlike Boos, if Mario or Luigi stare at the Boohemoth for a while when far away from it, it will peek through its hands and sneak dangerously close to them, being the only Boo to not be stopped if looked at.

Due to its huge size, Mario and Luigi cannot go through the Boohemoth, and as such, they will automatically lose a life if they are squished between it and a wall. Also, the Boohemoth cannot be defeated by any of Mario's power-ups (even as [[Gold Mario]], [[Invincible Mario]], or [[White Raccoon Mario]]), making it an invincible enemy, so Mario and Luigi can only run from the Boohemoth until they reach the exit.

Though Boohemoth does not physically appear in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' or ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'', a statue based on it is seen on top of the entrance of [[Twisted Mansion]].
