Pupdozers[1] are enemies in Super Mario Galaxy 2. These dinosaur-like creatures appear in the Flipsville Galaxy only. They usually patrol a small area. Mario can only defeat them by using grates to flip them over, causing the weak spot on their bellies to be exposed. Pupdozers are reptilian in appearance; they have a row of purple spikes on their backs, short tails, yellow underbellies with ground pound symbols, and brown backs. Their leader is a giant Pupdozer called Glamdozer. Defeating them yields a Coin.
