The '''Skellokey''' is a skeleton [[Pokey]] found in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]''. They live in the [[Shroobified]] [[Toad Town]] in the [[Mushroom Kingdom]] of the past. Like other Pokeys in the game, the Skellokey starts out with one head segment but gains more body segments when engaged in battle. However, unlike the Pokey, the Skellokey does not grow new body segments; new segments actually roll into the battlefield and join with the skeletal head.


In a fight, a Skellokey has a particularly gruesome attack. The ghoul will actually eat its own body segments and spit them at its enemies. It will roll toward the one it was meaning to attack before it attacks. This attack can be blocked with [[Hammer]] swings. However, if the body segments are not deflected, they will rejoin with the Skellokey head. Skellokeys can also spit [[fireballs]] at enemies. This projectile attack can be easily [[Jump|jumped]] over. A Skellokey may also launch its body segments at an attacker. The individual body segment will spin towards the Bro. it wants to attack before unleashing. The body segments can be jumped over as they roll towards the intruder.

Additionally, the boss, [[Mummipokey]], from ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' resembles a Skellokey wrapped in bandages, and has a similar attack pattern as well.
In Toad Town they have three segments, and in the Star Shrine they have four.

Skellokeys (a portmanteau of "skeleton" and Pokey) are skeletal Pokeys found in Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time. They are found in Toad Town and in the Star Shrine. Like other Pokeys in the game, Skellokeys start out with one head segment but gain more body segments when their turn comes. Skellokeys can only be battled by Baby Mario and Baby Luigi.

In battle, a Skellokey has a few attacks. It can eat its own body segments and spit them at its enemies. It rolls toward the one it was meaning to attack before it attacks. However, if the Skellokey does a flip before spitting its segments, it spits them at the opposite baby brother. This attack can be blocked with the Hammer. However, if the body segments are not deflected, they rejoin with the Skellokey head. Skellokeys can also spit fireballs at enemies which can cause the Burn status ailment. This projectile attack can be jumped over. A Skellokey may also launch its body segments at an attacker. The individual body segment spins towards the Baby. it wants to attack. The body segments can be jumped over.

In Toad Town they have three segments, and in the Star Shrine they have four.

Unlike Pokeys, Skellokeys have spikes on top of their heads instead of flowers, meaning jumps are ineffective against them. Thus, each body segment must be eliminated if the head is to be attacked.

Toothy from Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story is similar to Skellokey, as both are bony variants of Pokeys.
