'''Swiggler''' is a large, [[Shroob]]-created, bio-mechanical green [[Wiggler]] with yellow spots that appears in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]'', who acts as the boss of the [[Vim Factory]] in [[Toadwood Forest]] and is found on the bottom floor of the factory. Its name is a portmanteau of "Wiggler" and "swig". It has the unique ability to transform the [[vim]] sucked from [[Toad (species)|Toads]] into a fuel source for the Shroobs' [[Shroob saucer]]s. It drinks vim from a glass and then transfers it into the saucers via tubes in its body to which they connect. It is the first boss to be fought by all four Mario brothers.

During the events of ''Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time'', [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], [[Baby Mario]], and [[Baby Luigi]] confront Swiggler deep inside the Vim Factory, who is drinking glasses of vim to power Shroob saucers. After Baby Mario knocks over one of its glasses with his [[hammer]], the monstrous caterpillar becomes angry and attacks the quartet.

In battle, Swiggler can shoot poisonous clouds at the brothers. These attacks can be countered with Hammer hits, with some taking two hits to stop, and might [[poison (status effect)|poison]] the brothers if not countered. Swiggler also has a glass of green vim, which it drinks and uses to power-up nearby Shroob saucers. This allows them to shoot energy blasts at Mario and Luigi. The brothers can [[jump]] over these blasts to avoid damage. By default, the left blast will shoot at Mario, and the right blast will shoot at Luigi; however, they can swap places to throw the Bros. off.

During the fight, Swiggler is aided by two [[Dr. Shroob]] guards. If one is destroyed, another Dr. Shroob will appear to take the fallen Dr. Shroob's place. The Dr. Shroobs behave exactly as they do in earlier encounters: they use red and gray [[Mushroom]]s to grow and shrink, respectively, attacking once they assume the new form. By attacking them, the brothers can knock the Mushrooms into Swiggler's vim drink. If a gray Mushroom is knocked in, Swiggler will become sick upon drinking it, lowering its defense and making it unable to attack for a few turns. On the other hand, if a red Mushroom is knocked in, the solution will heal Swiggler by either 21, 41, 71, or 86 [[Heart Point|HP]].
