Atomic Boos are a large variant of Boos featured in the Paper Mario series, usually in haunted areas.
Description[]
An Atomic Boo is several regular Boos which combined to form the Atomic Boo, similar to Boolossus from Luigi's Mansion. An Atomic Boo's attacks are similar to that of a standard Boo—sneaking up on Mario and his allies when their backs are turned—but they also have a few new moves up their sleeve such as glaring and flinging smaller Boos. An Atomic Boo is usually only taken down after several hits.
In Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door[]
The Atomic Boo first appears in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. They can be found in Creepy Steeple and are created by 200 different species of Boos. In the Creepy Steeple, Mario frees 200 Boos. If Mario knocks the circling Boos with his Super Hammer and then use his Spin Attack. The Boos will get mad then combine altogether and form the Atomic Boo and fights Mario and co. in a battle. He attacks Mario with his Glare attack by flinging Boos at him. He then becomes transparent and flies over Mario who can give Mario status aliments if not careful. When Atomic Boo is defeated, he splits into regular Boos as regular enemies. The Lucky Start badge will drop, although the badge may fall into a hole nearby. If this happens, the badge can be purchased in the Lovely Howz of Badges.

In Super Paper Mario[]
Atomic Boos make an appearance in Super Paper Mario as rare enemies found in Merlee's Mansion. They, once again, go by the name Atomic Boo, and they have decreased in strength. When Mario faces the opposite direction that Atomic Boo is facing, Atomic Boo charges at Mario. Mario can counter this attack by facing Atomic Boo, who then faces away from Mario and returns to his regular position. These enemies also, by occasion, appear in the mini-game Mansion Patrol where they are slower than regular Boos, but take multiple hits to defeat.

Trivia[]
- The Big Boo in Paper Mario: Sticker Star is similar to an Atomic Boo as it is a large Boo formed by 100 smaller Boos however it's transformation is different as said Big Boo is formed by Kamek's magic spell on the Book of Sealing (which has Boos sealed inside) while Atomic Boos are formed by hundreds of Boos merging together.
