Anuboo

Anuboo appeared in 2003 video game called Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga. Anuboos are enemies appearing in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, confronted in Teehee Valley after Mario and Luigi visit Little Fungitown. Anuboos are shadowy, jackal-like enemies that wear headdresses and are completely black, except for their bright red eyes. They also replace the Gritty Goombas previously found in Teehee Valley, except for the ones living in the underground ruins.

In the overworld, Anuboos will appear and shoot small, pink laser beams at the Mario Bros. before teleporting to another spot. In battle, Anuboos will take the shape of their target and then fire a laser beam at the brother it transformed into. The attack can be dodged by jumping. Firebrand and Thunderhand attacks will heal them.

Anuboos are named after the ghost enemy Boo, and Anubis, a jackal-headed Egyptian god whom they bear some resemblance to.
