'''Dark Boos''' are [[List of enemies|enemies]] introduced in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. They are a purple variant of [[Boo]]s appearing only in a few of the role-playing games.

==History==
===''Paper Mario'' series===
====''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door''====
[[File:PMTTYD Shine Sprite PoshleySanctum.png|thumb|Dark Boos as seen in ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'' in the [[Poshley Sanctum]]]]
Dark Boos are enemies in ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door''. They appear only in the hidden spot of the [[Poshley Sanctum]] and in the [[Pit of 100 Trials (Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door)|Pit of 100 Trials]] on levels 51-59. Dark Boos have the same moves as their white counterparts, although they have more [[Heart Point|HP]] and [[Power|attack power]].

An [[Big Boo|Atomic Boo]]-like variant of a Dark Boo was planned to appear in the game, but was [[List of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door pre-release and unused content#Graphics|scrapped]].

====''Super Paper Mario''====
Dark Boos are enemies in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]''. They are encountered in [[Underwhere Road]] and in a few rooms of the [[Flipside Pit of 100 Trials]]. Here, they hide in 3-D, waiting for the player to walk by. Then, they [[flip]] to 2-D and sneak attack them. While in 3D, they act just like regular Boos, turning intangible when looked at and chasing the player when not. Shadowy versions of Dark Boos, called [[Dark Dark Boo]]s, can be found in the [[Flopside Pit of 100 Trials]].

===''Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time''===
Dark Boos are enemies in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]''. They are encountered in the [[Gritzy Caves]] area. Dark Boos attack only by appearing behind a brother and ramming him, similarly, except Dark Boos are faster and inflict more damage. If a Dark Boo opens its right eye, the attack is aimed at [[Mario]], but if its left eye is opened, the attack is aimed at [[Luigi]]. If one of the Mario Bros. is attacked, the Dark Boo steals either a normal [[Item]] or a [[Bros. Item]] and will [[flee]] with the item on the next turn if not defeated quickly. They are usually encountered in large groups, rarely appearing alongside other enemies. Dark Boos are resilient to [[Fire Flower|Bro Flower]]s, [[Ice Flower]]s and [[Mix Flower]]s. Unlike the ones in the ''[[Paper Mario (series)|Paper Mario]]'' series, Dark Boos lack yellow eyes and the blue mouth/tongue.
