Monolift

Monolift appeared in 2013 video game called Mario & Luigi: Dream Team. Monolifts are small mountain-shaped creatures with hands that appear in Mario & Luigi: Dream Team. In the field, Monolifts carry rocks, and upon sighting Mario and Luigi, chase them for a short duration and throw a rock at the Bros. as a last effort to attack. They appear to be hostile, assist Flibbees R, and work for their boss Mammoshka.

In battle, Monolifts hold 2-4 rocks over their head. In the uncommon instance a Monolift is holding a stack of four rocks, it will turn red and struggle to hold the stack up. If the Monolift is jumped on during this time, the weight will becomes too much for it, and the Monolift will be squished and defeated instantly.

When attacking, a Monolift may approach a Bro. and hold the stack of rocks even higher over its head, making it shake back and forth. The approached Bro. must hammer the Monolift when the rocks are tilting away from him to make them all fall on the Monolift. If he fails to do so successfully, the Monolift will throw the rocks at a very vertical angle into the approached Bro., or the rocks will fall on him.

Monolifts may also throw their stack of rocks high into the air, and punch them into Mario and Luigi; they must jump over them. If the Monolift faces Mario and the background, it is about to punch a metal rock at him. If the Monolift faces Luigi and the foreground, it is about to punch one at him. If the Monolift is about to punch a soft orange rock, it will break into two and fly towards both Bros., who must jump over them completely; unlike the metal ones, landing on the orange rocks still does damage.

If a single Grumbell and Monolift are present in the battle, they may perform an attack together that involves the Monolift dropping its stack of rocks and the Grumbell dropping to the floor. The Monolift will then pick up the Grumbell and begin weightlifting after twitching its eye. After several lifts, the Monolift will throw the Grumbell at the Bro. it targets. If it twitches so its left eye is bigger, it will aim at Luigi. If it twitches so its right eye is bigger, it will aim at Mario. This attack takes up the Grumbell's attack turn.

A stronger version of Monolifts known as Monolifts R appears later on in the game.
