'''Cherbils''' are floating enemies found in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]''. They are one of the more common enemy species in the game, appearing in various locations such as [[Yold Desert]], the [[Gap of Crag]] or the [[Flipside Pit of 100 Trials]] in room 6. They have the ability to put the player to [[sleep]] by spewing pink gas at them.
Cherbils and their cousins could be named after the city of [[wikipedia:Chernobyl|Chernobyl, Ukraine]], the site of a [[wikipedia:Chernobyl_disaster|nuclear disaster]] in the 1980s that caused noxious radioactive clouds to hang over the city for months. Their names can also be derived from gerbil, a small rodent. Their appearance is likely inspired by a molecule - seemingly water (two [[wikipedia:Hydrogen|Hydrogen]], and one [[wikipedia:Oxygen|Oxygen]]) or carbon dioxide (one [[wikipedia:Carbon|Carbon]] and two Oxygen) - another nod to the chemical fallout of Chernobyl.

Cherbils and their cousins seem to be named after {{wp|cherry|cherries}}, which they vaguely resemble, and possibly {{wp|gerbil}}s. Their use of gases could also make their name come from {{wp|Chernobyl}}, a city in Ukraine which was the site of a {{wp|Chernobyl disaster|nuclear disaster}} in 1986.

==Trivia==
*[[O'Chunks]] mentions Cherbils when he wants to get [[Count Bleck]] to get him to fight [[Mario]]. He alludes to their bottom-like appearance by saying he will "Spank (Clobber in the British English version) 'em like naughty little Cherbils". [[Tippi]]'s [[tattle]] on the Cherbils also supports this claim. Additionally, their common drop of [[Peachy Peach]]es may be a subtle joke regarding the fruit's own bottom-like shape.
