'''Shymores''', originally known as '''Shysters''', are small | '''Shymores''', originally known as '''Shysters''', are small artificial beings resembling [[Shy Guy]]s that hop on sword-tipped pogo sticks named Shyhoppers in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'' and [[Super Mario RPG (Nintendo Switch)|its remake]]. Their original name 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." Shymores attack by jumping on top of their opponents. Additionally, Shymores can use the weak attack [[Hot Shot]] 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. | ||

Their efforts fail as Smithy continues to slam the foundation with his hammer, collapsing the floor and sending his minions flying away. | ||
