'''Monty Moles''' are found in [[Flower Fields]] in ''[[Paper Mario]]''. They are green in color and stronger than regular [[Monty Mole]]s, which appear at [[Mt. Rugged]] in the same game. Despite their differences, the two species are both simply called "Monty Moles". However, the Flower Fields variety was given a unique name in Japanese.

[[Mario]] encounters these Monty Moles when he goes to see [[Petunia]], who tells him they are digging up the ground where she lives, eating her seeds and biting her roots. At her behest, Mario defeats all the Monty Moles. When they are defeated, they occasionally drop a [[Honey Syrup]]. After defeating them all, Mario receives the [[Magical Bean]] from Petunia as thanks.

These Monty Moles have a specific weakness to the [[Hammer Throw (badge)|Hammer Throw]] attack, which will deal 3 more damage than a normal hammer strike. They are the only enemies in the entire game with this weakness.<ref>{{cite|author=Stryder7x|date=October 25, 2019|url=youtu.be/hsT2YvHIFb4|title=Basic Battle Mechanics are Broken|publisher=YouTube|accessdate=October 25, 2019}}</ref> If Mario or one of his partners attempts to [[First Strike]] a Monty Mole before talking to Petunia for the first time, they hide underground and dodge the attack.

*'''Official Nintendo Player's Guide:''' ''You'll encounter Monty Mole again in Petunia's garden, and eating all those tasty roots has been good for him. His Heart Points are much higher than the Monty Moles on Mt. Rugged, but luckily for Mario his attack remains rather weak.''<ref>{{cite|author=Averill, Alan, Jason Leung, and Jennifer Villarreal|title=''Paper Mario'' Official Nintendo Player's Guide|page=108|date=2001|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us|isbn=1-930206-07-0}}</ref>
