Whomp

Whomp appeared in 1996 video game called Super Mario 64. Whomps are enemies who somewhat commonly appear in the Mario franchise. They are large, stone enemies that resemble rectangles with snaggletoothed faces, simple hands and arms, and legless feet. They are the minions of Bowser and the Whomp King, and debuted alongside the latter in Super Mario 64. They attempt to crush Mario by falling over and trying to land on top of him when he gets near. They can be defeated by Mario causing them to fall over and subsequently ground pounding on their sole weak spot, their back, which is marked by a cracked area with either a bandage or a Ground-Pound Switch symbol, depending on the game. Whomps are affiliated with Thwomps, another crushing stone enemy.
