| | '''Scutlet''' is a large cockroach-like creature found stuck inside Bowser's body in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]''. In English, it shares the name of [[Scutlet (enemy)|its species]], but it is named differently in the Japanese version and in some other localized versions. The Scutlet found in [[Bowser's body]] has grown much bigger than other members of its species possibly due to it feeding on Bowser's Flame Pipe, and it has also gained a long tongue. |

| The '''Scutlet''' is a large cockroach-like creature that appears in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]''. It is a much larger version of the [[Scutlet (enemy)|normal Scutlets]] found in [[Dimble Wood]]; though it shares their English name, it uses a different name in the Japanese version and some other localized versions of the game. This Scutlet is found within the [[Flame Pipe]] inside [[Bowser's body]], blocking up the pipe and preventing him from using his [[Fire Breath|fiery breath]].
| |
| | |
| Scutlet is the only major boss that Mario and Luigi fight within Bowser's body to not appear in the [[Gauntlet]] later on.

| ==Description==
| |
| [[File:MLsculetencounter.png|thumb|200px|Mario and Luigi encounter the Scutlet in ''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story''.]]
| |
| While investigating the [[Pump Works]] within [[Bowser]] as he drinks from the [[Sea Pipe Statue]]'s fountain, [[Mario]], [[Luigi]] and [[Starlow]] search for Princess Peach while also looking to restore Bowser's flame, which Starlow promised in order to get the Koopa King to cooperate. During their trek, they find and rescue [[Toadsworth]], who tells the group that he saw a "huge, flat bug by some sort of door". Toadsworth fears it may have attacked the Princess. He leaves them to take care of the bug while he finds the other Toads.
| |
| | |
| Eventually, the Mario Bros. and Starlow find the [[Stingler]] and place it in its opening, which grants them access to the rest of Bowser's body. The group visits the Flame Pipe first, where they soon come upon the Scutlet at the top. As the bug scares Luigi with its long tongue, Starlow explains that it is normally found in Dimble Wood, speculating that Bowser had inhaled the Scutlet along with everything else under the influence of the [[Vacuum Shroom]]. She ponders how it attained its size, and then notices it obstructing the flames beneath it, identifying it as the thing clogging Bowser's flames. Starlow yelps as the Scutlet suddenly grabs her with its tongue and eats her; Mario then uses his hammer to coax the frightened Luigi into joining him in battle against the bug.
| |
| | |
| Upon defeating the Scutlet, it disappears in a burst of stars, freeing a thankful Starlow and restoring Bowser's fire breath as the pipe closes back up. Starlow informs Bowser of the bug that had been clogging his Flame Pipe, and he considers making Starlow an honorary minion, which she declines. When Bowser then asks her name, she responds with "Chippy", which he uses to refer to her for the rest of the game. From then on, Bowser can use his flame in the overworld, which is necessary to progress through the rest of [[Plack Beach]].

| ==Battle==
| |
| Scutlet can attack by sticking out its tongue in an attempt to eat Mario or Luigi, with its eyes pointing towards its target. The Bros. can dodge by [[jump]]ing and damage the Scutlet by stomping its tongue; if Mario or Luigi is hit, they are pulled into the Scutlet and then spat out, taking damage. It can also extend it tongue out, wrapped around an irritated Starlow, and throw her into the air; as before, its eyes point towards its target. Starlow then falls towards Mario and Luigi, who must deflect her with their [[hammer]]. Starlow will get angry at the Bros. if they hit her; if Mario or Luigi takes damage, she fumes at the Scutlet instead, though it simply eats her again in either case. On some turns, Scutlet is ejected into the air by the Flame Pipe's flames and drifts down from the top screen towards Mario or Luigi, vaguely similar to the [[Dried Blooper]]'s attack; like the previous attacks, the Scutlet's eyes look towards its target just before it swoops down. Mario and Luigi can dodge by jumping, and counterattack by landing on the Scutlet as it passes.
| |
| | |
| Scutlet may use two of its three attacks each turn. Despite being able to block up the Flame Pipe, Scutlet takes regular damage from the [[Fire Flower]] [[Bros. Attack]], though it is immune to [[burn]]s. In ''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey'', Scutlet gains the [[Fury]] status upon losing half its HP or more, and begins attacking faster and more often each turn like most other bosses.

| | Scutlet prevents [[Bowser]] from [[Fire Breath|breathing fire]] by blocking a [[Flame Pipe|hole]] inside his body, which produces the fire. The Mario Bros. investigate, and discover Scutlet, who scares [[Luigi]] away and then eats [[Starlow]]. They fight with Scutlet to allow Bowser to breath fire and to free Starlow. In battle Scutlet has three attacks. One attack involves Scutlet sticking out its tongue in hopes of eating one of the bros.; the way its eyes point is a sign about who it will attack, and its tongue can then be dodged with a [[jump]]. In the next attack, it wraps its tongue around Starlow and throws her in the air in an attempt to hit [[Mario]] or Luigi; this is countered by a [[hammer]] swing, which causes Starlow to get angry at either the bros (if successfully countered) or Scutlet (if they fail to counterattack). Finally, Scutlet gets ejected into the air by Bowser's flame breath, and drifts down towards either Mario or Luigi; this can be jumped over, causing no harm. Once Scutlet is defeated, Starlow is set free and Bowser can breathe fire again. |
| | |
| | Later in the game, more [[Scutlet (enemy)|normal-sized Scutlets]] appear outside of Bowser's body in [[Dimble Wood]], Bowser can simply defeat these enemies by walking into them and he'll get five [[Coin]]s though Mario and Luigi actually have to battle them. |
