Spy Guy with his hammer.

Spy Guys are a type of Shy Guy encountered in Paper Mario. They are dressed in camouflage gear, wearing a leafy bush on their heads as a disguise. They hold either a slingshot or hammer in their hand.

Spy Guys appear exclusively in Shy Guy's Toy Box. They can attack Mario with a slingshot outside and inside of battle; the long range of this attack gives Spy Guys an advantage in scoring a First Strike, and conversely good at avoiding Mario's own attempts. Whenever a Spy Guy is damaged, it changes weapons, altering between slingshot and hammer. If Mario fails to guard against a hammer attack, he suffers the no skills status effect and loses one of his action commands for several turns.
