Glohm is a corruptive substance that appears in Mario & Luigi: Brothership. Its name is a portmanteau of "gloom" and "ohm". It is manufactured by Zokket and used on the citizens of Concordia by the Zok Troopers and the Extension Corps, causing anyone infected to want to seek isolation from everyone else. Its effects are first seen on Bulbfish Island. Ampberries are an antidote to the Glohm.

Various enemies also become infected with Glohm, making them more powerful. Infected enemies can create a spiked shield which breaks after being hit with an attack, although the shield is often two layers. Singular enemies sometimes create clones of themself and shuffle between the fakes. Finally, defeated enemies sometimes release a shockwave which must be jumped over.

If Mario and Luigi take damage from a Glohm-infected enemy, they may become inflicted with the Glohm status effect. If a bro is Glohmed, the bros do not work together for jump and hammer attacks, Bros. Attacks are unavailable, and Luigi Logic cannot be used in a boss battle. Refreshing Herbs have a 50% chance of curing Glohm, whereas Ampberries always cure it. Zokket is also able to infuse his attacks with Glohm, making them more dangerous, when he drops below half health.
