Tanoombas are Tanooki-Goomba hybrids with a green leaf on their head found throughout Mission Quest. They are fairly tough enemies and are encountered in the Outskirts of Coaster Hills (the first area) and Ladida Plains (on the way to Guffawha Woods and the Wiggler Farm). They can shapeshift into various things and outside of battle, they sometimes disguise themselves as either a Beanish, a Coin, a ? Block, or a Beanie. Once approached, they reveal themselves and attack (by spinning into The RPG Gamer and his Allies with their tail). They have a stronger variant found in Jajunga's Tower called the Tanunga. They are known to have a weakness to fire as fur is flammable.
Powers and Abilities[]
- Imposter Jump = The Tanoomba may take the form of one of the squad members that is currently battling and hop towards the opposite ally. If it's disguised as The RPG Gamer, Nathan, Ethan, Nathaniel, or John, then it will go for Robert, Timothy, Tim, Tom, or John and vice versa. This can cause POW-Down. This can be countered with a Hammer.
- Tail Swing = The Tanoomba may go up to it's target and try to swing it's tail in their face 1, 2, or 3 times. This can cause POW-Down. This can be dodged with a jump.
- Thwomp Smash = The Tanoomba will jump very high in the air and take the form of a Thwomp and try to smash down on it's target. If it jumps in the air, then it's going for The RPG Gamer, Nathan, Ethan, Nathaniel, or John but if it flips in the air then Robert, Timothy, Tim, Tom, and John are the targets. This can cause Dizziness. This can also be countered with a Hammer.
- Bubble Drift = The Tanoomba will jump fairly high and will take the form of a dirty bubble and drift down on it's target. If it jumps in the air, then it's going for The RPG Gamer, Nathan, Ethan, Nathaniel, or John but if it flips in the air then Robert, Timothy, Tim, Tom, and John are the targets. This can cause Poison. This can also be countered with a Hammer.
- Bowser Shell Spin = The Tanoomba will walk in between it's target and try to spin into them in the form of a small Bowser Shell. It will spin about 5 times. The one that it will go for first will depend on how it jumps before it transforms. If it jumps, then it's going for The RPG Gamer, Nathan, Ethan, Nathaniel, or John but if it flips, then Robert, Timothy, Tim, Tom, and John are the targets. This can Trip anyone hit by the shell. This can be dodged with a Jump.
