Konks are metallic relatives of Thwomps with big teeth and arrows on their faces introduced in Super Mario Bros. Wonder, seen in gray and either yellow or blue. Yellow Konks[1] function very similarly to Thwomps, as their main form of attack is dropping downwards when the player is beneath them. Blue Konks[1] attack from below, flying upwards when the player is above them instead. Both colors are also capable of moving left and right. They can be stood on or touched by their sides without taking damage. Konks appear prominently in the level Jewel-Block Cave, where they are capable of breaking jewel blocks. Konks can also plow through goo in the level An Uncharted Area: Wubba Ruins.
A Wonder Konk also appears during a Wonder Effect.

Naming[edit]
Konks' name is a corruption of "conk", a word referring to a hit to the head, which fits their attack pattern.
