Shroob
The Shroobs are a race of Poison Mushroom-like aliens that attacked the Mushroom Kingdom of the past when Mario and Luigi were babies. These events take place in the game Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time. They are a purple, mushroom-like species ruled by Princess Shroob and her older sister. They are from the Shroob Planet and most most Shroobs carry ray guns with them. Unlike Toads who are seemingly more human than mushroom, Shroobs seem to have retained most of their fungus ancestry.
They possess a massive fleet of flying saucers, which are powered by the vim of Toads. The saucers are capable of shooting energy bolts that turn people into Shroob Mushrooms, as well as causing devastating damage to buildings and such. The Shroob military is very complex in their processes. Unlike the Koopa Troop, the Shroobs have everything laid out in advance so that they could both protect vital operations and invade enemy regions at the same time.
They first started their invasion by destroying Toad Town and capturing many Toads. These Toads were taken to Toadwood Forest, where their vim was drained by the forests' genetically-altered trees. The vim is then collected at the Vim Factory, where Dr. Shroobs gave the vim to Swiggler, a terrifying, bio-engineered Wiggler. While guarding a Cobalt Star shard, Swiggler also drinks the vim and powers the Shroob UFOs.
Soon after, they started the creation of the mechanical Yoob and attacked Yoshi's Island. Yoob would eat any Yoshi it could find. These Yoshis would then be converted into more monstrous Yoobs and be used to attack the Mushroom Kingdom. During the invasion, Princess Shroob disguising herself as Peach to see the Mushroom Kingdom of the future to make sure her plan would succeed.
A reference to Shroobs was made in the Mario Hoops 3 on 3 website where one of the player's baller names (determined by a five-question quiz) could be "Shroob Showstopper".
Language
The Shroob language as it appears in the text bubbles in the game, is just a bunch of nonsensical small picture text. When the Shroobs talk in the game, they talk gibberish sounds. However, they do use english letters in literacy, as seen in the battle against Shrooboid Brat. When the Shrooboid Brat was about to attack, the Shroob crowd raised up signs that said either "M" or "L", signifying who to attack. Elder Princess Shroob can speak English.
