Reachers are skeletal ghosts who inhabit the Sunken Ship in the game Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars and its remake. They resemble large, sad, humanoid skeletons whose bodies are obscured by tombstones. Reachers attack by reaching towards a party member (hence the name) with their long skeletal arms. They can also attack by hurling a large bone (similar to Dry Bones) or by singing Elegy, which prevents a party member from using magic.

Like most powerful enemies in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars, only one Reacher appears at a time in battle. Reachers are aided by other ghouls in combat like Greapers.

An unused enemy that appears in the game's programming seems to be a relative of a Reacher, but depicted with a blue tombstone instead. This lookalike is known as Juju. It was stronger and had a better variety of special attacks such as Silver Bullet and Knock Out, and its thought is 'K-9 is after my Bones!'.

The original artwork for Reacher has blue eyes, while in the game, it has green eyes.

Trivia[edit]

  • In the Japanese version of the remake, and the English translation thereof, Reacher's thought has been switched with Straw Head's from the original game. This error is fixed in the 1.0.1 version patch.
