Pelicrumps are purple pelicans with yellow beaks, black eyes with yellow pupils, a light purple-colored bottom part of their body, a tuft of hair and yellow talon-like feet that appear in Mario & Luigi: Dream Team. In the field, they are often seen stationary from a distance while sleeping, but when Mario and Dreamy Luigi get closer, they will wake up and fly towards them, and then stay still while sleeping before falling.
In battle, Pelicrumps usually appear in groups of six or more. One of their attacks is flying upwards while carrying an egg. It needs to be hammered away once dropped on Mario. This attack can sometimes get him dizzy. Occasionally, when there are more Pelicrumps, two or three eggs are dropped on him. If there are any Spritzblooms in the battle, the eggs will hit and damage them if they are hammered. Another attack involves a Pelicrump walking while carrying a bomb. It will walk closer to Mario and try to throw the bomb near him, which needs to be countered with a hammer. If Mario looks at the Pelicrump, it will hide the bomb behind its back and throw it when he looks away in the same matter as a Boo. If looked at long enough, the bomb will explode and damage the Pelicrump. Pelicrumps also sometimes carry Bob-ombs in their beaks. Once a Pelicrump holding the Bob-omb inside its beak is defeated, it explodes and damages any nearby Pelicrumps or Spritzblooms. If Mario takes too long to defeat a Pelicrump with a Bob-omb, it will drop the Bob-omb on him, dealing unavoidable damage to him. If several Pelicrumps are present, they will initiate a sequence with a group chasing Mario while holding a Zeekeeper statue in order to crush him and others dropping logs from the front to stop Mario. Mario will be caught by the statue unless he jumps on the logs to escape.
If a Pelicrump is defeated, it starts to look sadder. Afterward, at the end of the turn, it opens its beak and then disappears.
An enemy similar to the Pelicrump is the Pecan from Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3, another pelican creature that carries bombs in its mouth.
