Shroobs are one of the main enemies in the game Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time and an optional enemy in Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story. They plan to destroy everything in the past Mushroom World and make it their new home. So Mario, Luigi, and a whole cast of other Mario characters plan to stop them. Their leader is Princess Shroob.
Appearance
They look much like a Toad, except with bright red eyes, purple skin, and claws as hands. They also have two pointed teeth visible from their mouths. White spots can be seen on the top of their heads.
Notable Shroobs
- Princess Shroob - Leader of the Shroobs. Under her command, the Shroobs attacked and invaded the Mushroom Kingdom. She is one of the final bosses, right before the Elder Princess Shroob.
- Yoob - This is a Yoshi that turned into a giant purple Yoshi Shroob that attacks anything. It seems to eat any living thing as well, converting the Yoshis into eggs for energy.
- Swiggler - One of the bosses in the game. He resembles a Wiggler, though is much stronger, and colored purple. It provides fuel for the Shroob UFOs.

Other than the Shroob enemies listed, there are many other Shroob enemies as well that will appear in the game, such as Dr. Shroob, Commander Shroob, and many others.
Shroob variants
Dr. Shroob

Shroobsworth
Shroobsworth is the Shroob equivalent of Toadsworth, although there's more than one. They appear in Princess Peach's Castle of the past. They each carry one Intern Shroob on their backs and have the ability to throw up their Intern Shroob really high, and use a Matrix-esque attack on Mario and co.
Intern Shroob
Intern Shroobs are basically young Shroobs which ride on the backs of different Shroobsworths. They have Shroob blasters, and use these to hurt Mario and company.
Support Shroob
Support Shroobs carry Shroob-ombs, the Shroob version of a Bob-omb. They are found during the Shroob Commander battle on top of Star Hill. If Mario and company defeat two of them, the Shroob-omb will roll in the direction away from the last Support Shroob.
