'''Scutlets''' are cockroach-like creatures that appear as enemies in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'' and its [[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey|Nintendo 3DS version]]. They have gray, ovoid bodies with small red legs and bulbous eyes, and a black stripe runs across their body. A larger member of the species that is also named [[Scutlet (boss)|Scutlet]] in English, Latin Spanish, French and Italian is found inside [[Bowser]]'s [[Flame Pipe]] as a boss [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] have to face; when she sees it, [[Starlow]] recognizes the creature as a Scutlet, as she claims to have seen them in [[Dimble Wood]]. Their name is derived from "scuttle."

Scutlets appear outside of Bowser's body in [[Dimble Wood]], and are much smaller than the one found in [[Bowser's body]]. In the field, Scutlets aimlessly run around, but will charge intruders into their territory. For Bowser, they can be defeated in one hit for extra coins in the overworld, meaning they are exclusive for the Mario Bros. to battle normally. In battle, they appear in high numbers, and will attack by running at the Bros. in a line, showing which one they are going to attack beforehand by going into an arrow formation and performing a fake charge; charges with an even ordinal number come from behind. The attack is countered by jumping. Failing may give the Mario Bros. the [[Trip]] status effect. The Scutlets can only use this move with four or more in their party, with the attack taking up all their attack turns; if three or less Scutlets remain, then one Scutlet will slowly walk over to a brother before quickly changing targets and lunging at the actual target. This can be countered by whacking them a hammer. When Luigi is inside the giant [[Sockop]], he must defeat four Scutlets.

Fittingly, Scutlets can be found in [[Junker Can]]s, as shown during the fight against [[Junker]]; here, they can be summoned when it empties a Junker Can, and attack by ramming their target, which has to be avoided by jumping over them, just like the [[Bob-omb]]. In the [[Junker X]] battle, the Scutlets that come out of the [[Junker Can X]]s are brown instead of the regular black.
