'''Shymores''', originally known as '''Shysters''', are small artificial beings resembling [[Shy Guy]]s that hop on sword-tipped pogo sticks named Shyhoppers in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'' and [[Super Mario RPG (Nintendo Switch)|its remake]]. Their original name is a pun on "Shy Guy" and possibly "{{wp|shyster}}," a slang term referring to a crooked lawyer. The pun is altered in the remake to where it now references the sword type known as "claymore." Shymores attack by jumping on top of their opponents. Additionally, Shymores can use the weak attack [[Hot Shot]] to shoot a small fireball at opponents. Shymores can be easily defeated with [[Thunderbolt (move)|lightning magic]]. During [[Mario]] and [[Mallow]]'s battle with [[Claymorton]], the boss summons four Shymore [[Bodyguard]]s to aid him in the fight.


Shymores are soldiers that work for the [[Smithy Gang]] and seem to love nothing more than hopping around all day. During Claymorton's invasion of the [[Toad Town|Mushroom Kingdom]], the Shymores terrorize the townsfolk.
A '''Shyster''' is a small artificially created [[Shy Guy]] that hops on a sword-tipped pogo-stick. They appear in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]''. Shysters seem to love nothing more than hopping around all day long.


After Mario's penultimate fight with [[Smithy]], a Shymore, an [[Aero]], and a [[Drill Bit]] ask Smithy to calm down and to stop slamming the floor with his mallet in order to prevent the [[Factory (Super Mario RPG)|Factory]] from falling apart, as the foundation was built only yesterday. Their efforts fail as Smithy continues to slam the foundation with his hammer, collapsing the floor and sending his minions flying away.
Shysters are soldiers that work for the [[Smithy Gang]]. Shysters formed the bulk of [[Mack]]'s forces during his invasion of [[Toad Town|Mushroom Kingdom]]. After Mack conquers the peaceful kingdom, the Shysters are allowed to terrorize the townsfolk as they please.


Several stronger varieties of Shymores exist, including the [[Springer]] and the [[Shyper]], as well as the [[Machine Made]] version of Bodyguard.
A Shyster attacks by jumping on top of his opponent with his sword-tipped pogo-stick. Additionally, Shysters have limited proficiency in magic. As such, Shysters can use the weak fire-based attack [[Drain]] to shoot a small fireball at opponents. Shysters can be easily defeated with [[Thunderbolt (move)|lightning magic]]. During [[Mario]] and [[Mallow]]'s battle with Mack, the knife monster summoned four Shyster [[Bodyguard]]s to aid him in the fight.

Their efforts fail as Smithy continues to slam the foundation with his hammer, collapsing the floor and sending his minions flying away.

==Notes==
==Trivia==
*The ''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars'' [[Nintendo Power|Player's Guide]] mistakenly uses the name and image of [[Shyper]] when referring to this enemy.<ref>{{cite|author=Pelland, Scott, and Kent Miller|title=''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars'' Player's Guide|page=110}}</ref>
*Shyster's name, in addition to being a pun on "Shy Guy," is likely derived from the actual term "shyster," which really means "conman."
*The official ''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars'' strategy guide placed an image of a Shyper where a Shyster should have been. Additionally, it considers Bodyguards and their Machine Made counterparts to be the same enemy as them.<ref>Pelland, Scott, and Kent Miller. ''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars'' Player's Guide. Page 109.</ref>
