Magmads are volcano-shaped enemies composed of magma that appear in Mario & Luigi: Dream Team and Mario & Luigi: Brothership. Their name is a portmanteau of "magma" and "mad".
History[edit]
Mario & Luigi: Dream Team[edit]
In Mario & Luigi: Dream Team, Magmads are encountered in the snowy portion of Dreamy Mount Pajamaja. In the field, Magmads engulf themselves in flames and chase after Mario and Dreamy Luigi upon sight, stopping after exhausting themselves, where they can then be easily hit with a First Strike briefly. If not disturbed, Magmads wander around aimlessly.
In battle, Magmads cannot be jumped on due to their flaming heads. Magmads usually appear in battle with their colder counterparts, Iceads, and thus often attack together. Magmads (usually with Iceads, although Magmads will not stack up with Iceads) can attack by approaching Mario from the front and back sides of him and forming a stack on either or both sides if there are more than two enemies involved in the attack. The Magmads and Iceads will then start firing fiery and icy blasts respectively one at a time at Mario, who must jump over the ground level blasts and idle under higher level blasts in order to avoid taking damage. If a fiery blast misses Mario, it will continue on to hit whatever is straight ahead if anything, dealing 30 damage in normal mode, and 37 damage in hard mode towards Iceads and healing 30 HP towards Magmads.
Magmads (usually with Iceads) can also attack by making itself liquid and oozing to one of Mario's unoccupied four sides, up to four enemies being involved in this attack. Occasionally, one of them will stick part of its head out before to re-solidifying itself and firing either a fiery or icy blast at Mario. He must keep facing and hammering the Magmad or Icead who sticks their head out until the attack ends to avoid taking damage.
A Magmad may also individually approach Mario and charge into him while engulfed in fire, repeating this several times as it goes back and forth. Mario must jump over the Magmad before it hits him to avoid taking damage. Occasionally during this attack, the Magmad's flames may extinguish and it will be vulnerable to being jumped on while in that state. The Magmad's attacks can also give Mario the burn status effect.
A Magmad transforms into an Icead if it takes damage.
Mario & Luigi: Brothership[edit]
Magmads return in Mario & Luigi: Brothership, where they are encountered in Heatfreeze Island and Skorcheen Island. Their idle animation has been changed to swaying left and right instead of bobbing up and down, and their attack has been changed to a headbutt, which Mario and Luigi can block with a hammer strike. Several Magmads are infected with Glohm.
During the Pipegunk's battle, Shun can boost its power by moving the arena into a magma chamber with his remote. In this state, it resembles a Magmad, right down to having their head flame.
