Torkscrew
Torkscrew is a screw-like boss from Mario & Luigi: Dream Team.
Appearance
Torkscrew is a red creature with claws and foot claws. He also has a yellow screw on his head.
Combat
Torkscrew attacks by digging in the ground and chasing Mario and Luigi. He can jump up, propel himself into the air by spinning like a top, and finally dives head first onto one of the bros. If they successfully hammer him away, he will land on his backside and be vulnerable to jump attacks. He can also dig under to stab a bro from underneath. If they dodge, they will either dodge completely or get stuck comically on his drill top, at which point the other bro must chase and attempt to collect the dropped coins and avoiding the mines. He may also chase one bro, usually Mario, into the background. Luigi, on the other hand, must avoid the sneaky monsters in the foreground as Mario is attacked by Torkscrew, who attempts to drill into him, while Mario dodges/counters by jumping.

Trivia
Torkscrew resembles one of the Koopalings because of his stomach and claws. He also resembles the Drillbit Crab because of the drill on his head. Also, one of the attacks he performs is similar to a move that the Drillbit Crab uses.
