A '''Shroob Rex''' is a purple [[Shroob|Shroob-like]] [[Rex]] found in [[Shroob Castle]], the [[Shroobified]] version of [[Princess Peach's Castle]], during the events of ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]''. These dinosaurs were used by the Shroobs to protect the castle, their base of operations on [[Mushroom World]]. The four [[Mario Bros.]] of past and present fought many Shroob Rexes during their efforts to rescue [[Princess Peach]], defeat [[Princess Shroob]], and eliminate the Shroob menace.
A '''Shroob Rex''' is a large purple [[Shroob]]-like [[Rex]] fought in [[Shroob Castle]], during the events of ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]''. Shroob Rexes never appear in the overworld, and only appear in battle alongside other enemies. They appear similar to normal Rexes, but with Shroob pincers for hands and black eyes with red pupils.


In battle, they use a wide variety of attacks. First, they jump, then [[Ground Pound]], creating a purple shockwave. This attack can be dodged by [[jump]]ing. However, the timing changes depending on where the Shroob Rex Ground Pounds. If the Shroob Rex ground pounds closer to [[Luigi]], he must jump first, followed by [[Mario]]. If closer to Mario, he must jump first, followed by Luigi. If the Shroob Rex Ground Pounds at an equal distance between the two, both Mario Bros. must jump at the same time to avoid the shockwave. This attack can cause the [[Trip]] status effect.
In battle, the Shroob Rex uses a wide variety of attacks to injure the Mario Bros. First, the dinosaur may briefly fly in the air with its tiny wings then [[Ground-Pound|Ground Pound]] the floor, creating a seismic energy wave. This attack could be dodged by [[Jump|jumping]]. However, depending on where the Shroob Rex ground pounds determines how the Mario Bros. should jump. If the Shroob Rex ground pounds closer to [[Luigi]], the green-clad brother must jump first, followed by his brother [[Mario]]. If closer to Mario, the elder brother must jump first, followed by his younger brother. If the Shroob Rex Ground Pounds equal distance between the two, both Mario Bros. must jump at the same time to avoid the energy wave.


A Shroob Rex can also spit flaming boulders at the Mario Bros. These boulders can be deflected with a [[Hammer#Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time|Hammer]]. When shot, the boulder may land on the ground before splitting in two and rolling towards the Bros., requiring both [[Baby Mario]] [[Baby Luigi|Bros]]. to swing their Hammers at the same time. Additionally, the Shroob Rex can fire one boulder that homes in on one Mario Bro. When deflected, the boulder rolls into the other Mario brother, and must be deflected again. If it lifts its head up before spitting out the boulder, it homes in on Mario first, and if it looks down it homes in on Luigi first. If it does not move its head, the boulder will split in two. This attack can cause the [[Burn]] status ailment.
A Shroob Rex can also shoot boulders at the Mario Bros. from its mouth. These boulders are on fire and can be deflected with a [[Hammer]] strike. When shot, the boulder may split in two, requiring both Baby Mario Bros. to swing their Hammers at the same time to destroy the dangerous rocks. Additionally, the Shroob Rex may fire one boulder that homes in on one Mario Bro. When deflected, the boulder will roll into the second Mario brother, and needs to be deflected again.


The Shroob Rex's final attack is to do a short [[Flutter Jump]] before charging into a Mario Bro., then running offscreen to the left and back into the other Bro from behind. This attack can be dodged or countered by jumping, but only if certain prerequisites are met. A normal-sized Shroob Rex is too tall to jump over, so the attack cannot be dodged. However, if a Mario Bro. jumps on a Shroob Rex beforehand, it becomes shorter, like normal Rexes do in other games. Shroob Rexes have two different smaller sizes they can be when stomped on. After being stomped once, the adult Bros. are able to dodge the charge attack, but a baby Bro. alone cannot clear the Shroob Rex with their smaller jump. Only after being stomped twice is the Shroob Rex flat enough to be jumped over by the babies.
The Shroob Rex's final attack is simply charging into a Mario Bro., running off the battlefield and into the back of the second Mario Bro. This attack can be dodged or countered by jumping, but only if certain prerequisites are met. This is because a normal-sized Shroob Rex is too tall to jump over. However, whenever a Shroob Rex is jumped on by a Mario Bro., it will become flatter, squatter, and shorter. Only the damaged, flattened Shroob Rex can be jumped over.


At 200 HP, the Shroob Rex has the highest HP of all regular enemies, surpassing the first four bosses and on par with [[Swiggler]].
