Egoby
An Egoby in Mario & Luigi: Brothership
Icon from Mario & Luigi: Brothership.
Description
"A fish that might deign to be caught in any sea. Can be used as material to make equipment."
First appearance Mario & Luigi: Brothership (2024)

Egobies are fish in Mario & Luigi: Brothership that are found in the seas of Concordia. They can be caught by fishing for them as either Mario or Luigi from the fishing spot on Shipshape Island; when hooked, three exclamation points display on the screen (!!!). When caught, they are treated as items and can be sold for 30 coins. One Egoby must be given to Leyden during the side quest Leyden's Piscine PR Plans. Their name is a portmanteau of "ego" and "goby;" in particular, it may be a reference to the ego zebra, a species of goby.
