First appearance Mario & Luigi: Dream Team (2013)

Thorbs are spiky pumpkin-like enemies that appear in Mario & Luigi: Dream Team, being an introductory enemy to using hammers. Their name is a portmanteau of "thorn" and "orb."

Thorbs appear commonly in Mushrise Park. In battle, Thorbs compress themselves down and spiral into Mario and Luigi in a clockwise or counter-clockwise pattern once, who must jump over it when it gets near them in order to avoid taking damage. They also approach a Bro., and run at them with their spikes pointed at them, much like Capnaps. The targeted Bro. must hammer the Thorb when it gets within range to counter-attack and avoid taking damage. The name Thorb comes from their thorny head and their orb-shaped body.

Being spiky, it takes no damage from jump attacks; jumping on it will deal 1 point of damage to Mario or Luigi.

Two Thorbs are seen harassing a Toad, which Mario and Luigi must battle. This battle serves as a tutorial for hammer attacks.

In Mario & Luigi: Brothership, there is shown to be a blue, levitating creature with spikes on its head, greatly resembling a Thorb.
