That's a Tech Cursya. It is a spiteful monster that curses everything it touches. Max HP is 1 and Attack is 1. It can prevent you from using skills for a while... But it can't curse you if you don't touch it, so approach with caution...

Tech Cursyas are Cursyas that appear in Super Paper Mario. They curse the characters with the No Skills status ailment, causing each hero to lose their specific ability. The Cursya's name actually refers to these abilities, as "tech" is short for "technique". When they touch this Cursya they will be jinxed with these four attacks, Mario cannot Flip dimensions, Peach cannot use her parasol to glide and deflect enemy attacks, Bowser cannot use his Fire Breath, and Luigi cannot use his Super Jump. Tech Cursyas can be distinguished from other Cursyas by their purple coloration.

Piccolo can remove the status ailment and these enemies may occasionally drop a Poison Shroom upon defeat.

Trivia

  • If Mario touches a Tech Cursya while in 3D, instead of switching back, he is forced to remain in 3D until the curse wears off or the timer runs out. However, switching to another character causes them to be automatically flipped back into 2D.
