'''Swiggler''' is a large, [[Shroob]]-created, bio-mechanical green [[Wiggler]] with yellow spots that appears in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]'', who acts as the boss of the [[Vim Factory]] in [[Toadwood Forest]] and is found on the bottom floor of the factory. Its name is a portmanteau of "Wiggler" and "swig". Swiggler has the unique ability to transform the [[vim]] sucked from [[Toad (species)|Toads]] into a fuel source for the Shroobs' [[Shroob saucer]]s. It drinks vim from a glass and then transfers it into the saucers via tubes in its body to which they connect. It is the first boss to be fought by all four Mario brothers. | '''Swiggler''' is a large, [[Shroob]]-created, bio-mechanical green [[Wiggler]] with yellow spots that appears in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]'', who acts as the boss of the [[Vim Factory]] in [[Toadwood Forest]] and is found on the bottom floor of the factory.

==Appearance== | |||
Swiggler, as with other Wigglers, resembles a giant caterpillar with a segmented, yellow-spotted body made up of spheres and with a pair of legs with shoes on each segment. However, unlike its normal counterpart, it sports a tubular mouth, glowing eyes with black sclerae, antenna-like structures on top of its head and tail, and pointed shoes with yellow tips. Normally, Swiggler has a green body with red eyes and head antenna, but when angered, its body turns red and its eyes and antenna yellow. When ill, its body turns seafoam green with beige spots and its eyes and both its antennae turn red and, in the latter's case, droop. Its tail antenna is also capable of extending and turning into a white, forked pair of plugs used to charge Shroob saucers. | |||

After Baby Mario knocks over one of its glasses with his [[hammer]], Swiggler becomes angry and attacks the quartet. | ||
In battle, Swiggler can shoot poisonous clouds at the brothers. These attacks can be countered with Hammer hits, with some taking two hits to stop, and might [[poison (status effect)|poison]] the brothers if not countered. Swiggler also has a glass of green vim, which it drinks and uses to power-up nearby Shroob saucers. This allows them to shoot energy blasts at Mario and Luigi. The brothers can [[jump]] over these blasts to avoid damage. The left blast will shoot at Mario, and the right blast will shoot at Luigi; however, they can swap places. | In battle, Swiggler can shoot poisonous clouds at the brothers.
