Guardarms are enemies that appear on Rumbla Island in Mario & Luigi: Brothership. They are yellow, spherical creatures that possess long arms with purple hands and feet. According to one of the Concordians of Rumbla Island, Guardarms get their kicks from destroying the artwork of the Rumbla Village inhabitants. Their name is a portmanteau of "guard" and "arm".
Battle
Guardarms use their hands as shields; to damage the creatures, Mario and Luigi have to attack them from an exposed direction: from above if the Guardarm is holding both hands forward (this calls for a jump attack) or from the front if it is holding both hands above its head (this calls for a hammer attack). Guardarms have only one attack, which is jumping into the air and then swimming through the ground to ram the Bros., which can be avoided by jumping. Where it looks before it attacks indicates who it will aim for.
Later in the game, Guardarms are infected with Glohm and become a lot stronger.
