'''Cherbils''' are floating enemies found in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]''. They are one of the more common enemy species in the game, appearing in various locations such as [[Yold Desert]], the [[Gap of Crag]] or the [[Flipside Pit of 100 Trials]] in room 6. They float side-to-side, and will occasionally spew a pink gas projectile at the player while in range, which can put them to [[sleep]] if it hits them. | |||

Notes[edit]
- O'Chunks mentions Cherbils when he wants to get Count Bleck to get him to fight Mario. He alludes to their bottom-like appearance by saying he will "Spank (Clobber in the British English version) 'em like naughty little Cherbils". Tippi's tattle on the Cherbils also supports this claim. Additionally, their common drop of Peachy Peaches may be a subtle joke regarding the fruit's own bottom-like shape.
