- —Pi'illodium
The Pi'illodium is a boss that appears in Mario & Luigi: Dream Team. As stated by Prince Dreambert, it is a defense weapon used by ancient Pi'illo folk to guard certain objects. Pi'illodium is accidentally awakened by Mario after he hammered it out of the way when he and the others tried to place the Ultibed on Pi'illo Temple in Somnom Woods.
Appearance[]
Pi'illodium is similar in appearance to Eyepi'illos that also appear in Somnom Woods. He is large in size and is mainly golden in color. It also has an odd-shaped face and red eyes. In his weakened form, the Pi'illodium has blue eyes, signalling sadness.
Battle[]
Pi'illodium during battle
Pi'illodium is a heavy hitter in battle. He always summons smaller versions of his head to attack (either by knocking one from the background which must be blocked with the hammer or by firing missiles in his image in a Chase Attack). Pi'illodium can also headbutt a Bro. with his body turning into a hammer although this can be blocked with a hammer, or use a laser disc attack that can hurt Mario and Luigi but can be jumped. Destroying his wings disables all of these attacks except for the laser discs, as well as making him vulnerable to all attacks and weakening his POW and DEF. Beware as before Pi'illodium is defeated, it will self-destruct and Mario and Luigi must drain his health in 40 seconds of real time.
Strategy[]
The Bros. Attacks Bomb Derby and Slingsniper are very effective in this fight. It should be noted that after Pi'illodium's wings are destroyed, his power and defense will decrease dramatically and it will be unable to move for a couple of turns aside from performing his laser attack. As for the self-destruct, using a well-aimed Slingsniper should finish him in one hit. Also, Taunt Balls can be used on the enemies in the background to bring them forward and can be destroyed to prevent the wing healing and disable the Pi'illoid Rally.
Stats[]
The Pi'illodium is a Level 30 monster. His main body has 1673 hit points, an attack power of 328, a defense of 333, and a speed of 94, while his wings have 172 hit points with the same defense. When beaten, he gives 3600 experience, and his loot includes 600 coins with Deluxe Antiair Boots. His Battle Ring battle increases his level to 40 with his main body's hit points being increased to 2742 while his wings have theirs increased to 282, his defense being increased to 538, his power being increased to 437, and his speed being raised to 117, and his loot is changed to just 2400 coins if this is his first time being beaten.
Trivia[]
- The enemies in the background will have their name given as Mini-Pi'illoid if they are targeted with a taunt ball.
- King Bob-omb has a similar condition during his battle in Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam, but the timer starts at the very start of combat and lasts for four minutes and time can be bought by blocking his attacks.
