Whomps are large, walking stone enemies and the minions of Bowser. They debuted in the game Super Mario 64. Whomps are related to Thwomps, enemies that are also made out of stone. A majority of Whomps live at Whomp's Fortress, which is ruled by the Whomp King.
Whomps attempt to crush Mario by simply falling on top of him. They can be deafeated by ground pounding their backs, their sole weak area (as indicated by a bandage).
Additionally, Whomps are used as blockades in the Mario Party series. In Mario Party 3, a Whomp hosts the Extra Room, a room filled with challenging mini-games.
Whomps reappear in the New Super Mario Bros. They reside inside fortresses, and will try to crush Mario if he attempts to pass by them. Once on the floor, Mario can Ground Pound the Whomp's back.
The Whomp was inspired by the Japanese mythological creature known as the nurikabe. The nurikabe is a sentient wall that blocks the way of travelers.
