Drillbies are enemies that appear in Mario & Luigi: Brothership. They are commonly encountered on Desolatt Island, but also appear on Liil Islet. When they see Mario and Luigi, they will leap out of the ground at them, burrowing in the ground if the enemy misses. Drillbies are slug-like and orange in color, with a drill protruding from their head and have two spikes on their backs.
Stronger variants of Drillbies, known as Drillby Rs, appear on Slippenglide Island. After Reclusa's reawakening, Drillbies become infected with Glohm, becoming Glohm Drillbies.
Battle
In battle, Drillbies cannot be jumped on because they have drills on their heads. They have two attacks, both of which involve defending with hammers:
- They can look to either Mario or Luigi before burrowing. After a few moments, they will emerge directly in front of whoever they looked at before jumping at them. The targeted character must counterattack the Drillby before it leaps at them.
- Drillbies can emerge from the ground before sliding at Mario or Luigi at a fast speed. The Bros. must time their counterattack to defend themselves.
