That’s a Sobarribad. It shields itself with a strong barrier... Max HP is 8 and Attack is 4. It also shoots rings of energy from its mouth... You can’t break its barrier, but you can flip to get places it might not want you to...

The Sobarribad is an enemy in Super Paper Mario encountered in Castle Bleck. Its name is a pun on the words "so very bad", and is derived from its method of protection, a barrier. It is a white and stronger version of the Barribad, which in turn looks and behaves similarly to a Yux from Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, and uses the same method of attack and protection as its regular counterpart, creating a barrier around itself and firing rings at the heroes. Likewise, it can be defeated by flipping into 3D, then into 2D inside its barrier and jumping on it, using Bowser's fire breath, and with Pixls Thoreau to throw it against a wall, Slim to disappear and reappear inside its barrier once it draws close, Fleep to make it temporarily dizzy, and Barry to reflect its rings back at it.
