Variants

Wizzerds are enemies in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, they appear to be bean-like cyborg creatures with three-fingered hands. As implied by their "wizard"-derived name, they can use magic attacks and can fire energy lasers at Mario and his partners and also can raise their attack by turning bigger or even raising their defense. They can also use magic to cure softness. They can tickle the front character with their hands or use a lightning attack that can hit both characters at once.

They are tough enemies that only appear in floors 71 to 79 in the Pit of 100 Trials. While their weaker and stronger brethren have the ability to heal each other by 10 HP and clone when they are alone, the standard Wizzerds can only heal themselves or their allies by 6 HP and do not have the ability to clone themselves.

Trivia

  • Wizzerds are the only standard species in the game, and one of the only in the series, to be only found outside the main story (in other words optional); only Dark Wizzerds are found in the Palace of Shadow.
  • Just like the other Wizzerd species, they will not hit other enemies if the player uses Super Hammer or Ultra Hammer.
  • Despite being technically stronger than Dark Wizzerds (having 6 attack compared to 5, and 3 defense compared to 2), Wizzerds are actually 3 levels lower than Dark Wizzerds. This may be due to their inability to clone themselves when alone, and their weaker healing (6 health restoration rather than 10).
