The Shulm is one of the slowest monsters of the Underworld, due to its disproportionately large head and small, stubby legs. Although its body looks like a mushroom, the head is actually a biological sack that contains hundreds of poisonous spores that can potentially cause fungal infections or temporarily [[poison]] its victims. Some of these spores have been known to sprout and grow on the head of the Shulm itself, making it a sort of host to its own defense mechanism. In early years, Shulms rarely used their poisonous capabilities, making them easy pickings for [[Pit|Pit's]] mighty [[Bow]]. However, since the revival of Medusa, they can now put their abilities to full use and release the spores within their bodies if struck hard enough with a projectile attack. | The Shulm is one of the slowest monsters of the Underworld, due to its disproportionately large head and small, stubby legs.

These mushroom-like foes are found in the [[Overworld]]'s [[Fortress]]. They are slow, [[Enemy Tactics#Trudging|trudging]] enemies and are a minimal threat despite their relatively high durability. Despite what the manual claims, they cannot poison Pit in this game. | |||
====Manual Description==== | |||
''A really gloomy creature that lives in dark, wet places in the fortresses. It gives out really poisonous spores from its body and robs its enemies of lives.'' | |||

Shulms | Shulms can now explode and expel a poison cloud when hit with projectile attacks. Because of this, melee attacks or striking from very far away is necessary to defeat Shulms without taking damage; fortunately, this is easy to do, as they tend to waddle around aimlessly and ignore Pit unless attacked. Their explosive capabilities are similar to those of [[Minos]] but with [[Status Ailments|poisoning effects]]. | ||
====Idol Description==== | |||
''Poisonous Underworld fungus that spews noxious gas. Its spores thrive in dank places, causing Shulms to grow like crazy. Don't let its meek appearance fool you!'' | |||

* | *Shulm is likely derived from the Japanese romanization of the word, "mushroom" (マッシュルーム ''masshurūmu''). | ||
*In-game NES sprites of the Shulm bear a striking resemblance to the well-known [[mariowiki:Goomba|Goomba]] enemy from ''Super Mario Bros.'', though jumping on them actually hurts Pit. | |||
