'''Toothies''' are [[Pokey]]s made entirely out of teeth that are found in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]''. These enemies are encountered in [[Plack Beach]]. Outside of battle, Toothies charge into Bowser to engage a battle while they spit a virus to chase [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] temporarily before disappearing. The virus can be whacked with a hammer to prevent a battle from starting. Other methods will start a battle.

In battle, Toothies attack by charging at the player one to three times. If they have no body, they spit out a [[Virus|Blue Virus]] with a spear and have it charge at the player. If Bowser is in a battle with a Toothy, the virus will jump en route. He simply has to use his [[Punch|punch]] on the Blue Virus in midair when it come close to him. If Mario and Luigi are in a battle with a Toothy, its charge attack is deflected with the hammer. If it spits out a Blue Virus, the virus will either stay idle or hop. If it stays idle the Mario Bros. must jump, but if it hops as it pulls its spear out, Mario and Luigi must not jump. In addition getting hit could result in getting the [[Poison (status effect)|Poison]] status effect. Toothies can also rebuild their bodies. Dealing damage to their bodies does not cause damage, however dealing damage to the head will. With one [[Hammer]] swing or [[Bowser]]'s punch, the player can wipe out the entire body, leaving the head stuck in the ground. If Bowser [[Vacuum Block|inhales]] the teeth that make up Toothy's body, he can [[DEF-Up|increase his defense]] and also make the Toothy vulnerable, as it can no longer rebuild its body. Bowser's flame will not do any damage or take out a Toothy's body.

Bowser can use the [[Vacuum Block]] to inhale a [[Blitty]] from a Toothy after visiting [[Broque Monsieur]]'s shop for the first time.

Toothies reappear in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey]]'', where they also appear in the ''Bowser Jr.'s Journey'' mode as enemies. They are melee troopers, and are weak to boomerang attacks from [[Boomerang Bro]]s. and [[Wendy]]. In the ''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story'' mode of the game, they take 0 damage upon getting hit with a [[First Strike]] on either using Bowser's punch or the Bros.' hammers, as the strike will be redirected towards their body. Bowser's flame now makes them take normal damage rather than 0 (aside from the First Strike itself).

[[Skellokey]] from ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]'' is similar to Toothy, as both are bony variants of Pokeys.

==Notes==
*If Bowser uses [[Shy Guy Squad]], [[Magikoopa Mob]], or [[Broggy Bonker]] on a Toothy if it still has its body or if Bowser uses a [[First Strike]] (in the original game only), the Toothy will take normal damage, and not 0.
*In the remake, Toothies are the only big enemies that still attack Mario & Luigi in the overworld.
