A '''Protobatter''' is a round creature that holds a club. It is found inside the [[Pump Works]] of [[Bowser's body]] in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]''.

It grows up to two to three times larger whenever [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] attack it. It attacks by spitting a piece of batter and slamming it with its club at the bros. The direction it holds its club is to indicate which one of the Bros. is being attacked. This attack can be countered with the [[hammer]]. It may miss the swing up to two times in an attempt to lower the player's guard. Protobatters also have stronger faster cousins called [[Pwallop]]s that appear in the [[Energy Hold]].
