A Forkie (originally singularized as Forkies) is a fork-wielding enemy that is encountered in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars. Mario and company first encounter this creature in Bowser's Keep. A Forkie is round and gray and has an orange ponytail sticking out of its head. Forkies appear in battle usually alongside Star Crusters and Grand Troopas. In battle, Forkies have high magic stats and above-average physical stats. They have one special attack called Storm, which can do a high amount of damage. When a Forkie uses a special attack, a smaller Forkie in the bigger Forkie's mouth can be seen in the animation. They have a weaker relative called Jawful, which Mario meets earlier in the game.
A Forkie does not attack the party, provided the party does not attack it. The game declares that "The Forkie is enraptured!" When the creature is attacked, it says, "The Forkie has come to its senses."
