Throphers (originally known as Mukumuku, and also called Muku for short)[1] are enemies in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars. These gophers appear on Star Hill, and can be summoned using Thropher Cookies. Throphers fight alongside Mastadooms, Geckos and Sackits, and attack by hitting a party member with their hands. Throphers can also throw an assortment of random objects used in other enemy attacks, ranging from normal projectiles such as bones and non-explosive Microbombs, to odd objects like coins, to nonsensical visual effects like musical notes and tiny birds to attack the team; this is similar to the special attack Monster Toss used by Croco and Lakitus.

Its name in the remake is a portmanteau of "throw" and "gopher".
