'''Shymores''', originally known as '''Shysters''', are small artificially created [[Shy Guy]]s that hop on sword-tipped pogo-sticks named Shyhoppers. They appear in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'' and its [[Super Mario RPG (Nintendo Switch)|remake]]. Shymores attack by jumping on top of their opponents. Additionally, Shymores can use the weak attack [[Drain]] to shoot a small fireball at opponents. Shymores can be easily defeated with [[Thunderbolt (move)|lightning magic]]. During [[Mario]] and [[Mallow]]'s battle with [[Claymorton]], the boss summons four Shymore [[Bodyguard]]s to aid him in the fight.

Shymores are soldiers that work for the [[Smithy Gang]] and seem to love nothing more than hopping around all day long. During Claymorton's invasion of [[Toad Town|Mushroom Kingdom]], the Shysters terrorize the townsfolk.

After Mario's penultimate fight with [[Smithy]], a Shymore, an [[Aero]], and a [[Drill Bit]] ask their master to calm down and to stop slamming the floor with his mallet in order to prevent the [[Factory (Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars)|Factory]] from falling apart, as the foundation was only built yesterday. Their efforts fail as Smithy continues to slam the foundation with his hammer, collapsing the floor and sending his minions flying away.

Several stronger varieties of Shymores exist, including the [[Springer]] and the [[Shyper]], as well as the [[Machine Made]] version of Bodyguard.

Its original name "Shyster", is a pun on "Shy Guy" and possibly "shyster", a slang term meaning "conman". The pun is altered in the remake to where it now references the sword type known as "claymore".

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
* Shymore’s original name Shyster, in addition to being a pun on "Shy Guy," is likely derived from the actual term "shyster," which really means "conman." The pun is altered in the remake to where it now references the sword type known as "claymore".
*The ''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars'' [[Nintendo Power|Player's Guide]] mistakenly uses the name and image of [[Shyper]] when referring to this enemy.<ref>{{cite|author=Pelland, Scott, and Kent Miller|title=''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars'' Player's Guide|page=110}}</ref>
