Blitty
The Blitties are a species that appear in Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story. Their name is a combination of the words "block" and "kitty". They are animate blocks that resemble cats. Broque, after meeting with Bowser in Dimble Wood, requests that Bowser locate & bring him these "rare creatures". They are trapped within enemies during battle, so Bowser must use his Vacuum command to obtain them as an item. There are 15 Blitties in all.
Although Chuboombas, Toothies, and Treevils can be fought prior to getting the Vacuum Block, their Blitties cannot be collected until after the block is collected.
Blitties always appear when Bowser uses his Vacuum command on a specific enemy for the first time, and he must successfully inhale it to properly catch it. If Bowser fails to suck up the Blitty, the Blitty will flee from the battle and must be found again by using the Vacuum command in a different battle with the specific monster. This can be repeated until the player successfully catches the Blitty for that specific monster.
Once Bowser catches a Blitty, he can go to Broque's shop and leave it there. Bowser is rewarded special equipment for the fourth, eighth, and twelfth Blitty he gives to Broque, and the reward for finding all fifteen Blitties is a new special ability for Bowser, Broggy Bonker.
In Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey, Bowser has the option to attack enemies to cause them to drop the Blitty before inhaling it.
