"''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.''"
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.

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!''

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*Shulm is derived from the word mushroom, a fungus.
*Shulm is likely derived from the Japanese romanization of the word, "mushroom" (マッシュルーム ''masshurūmu'').  
*Shulms bear a striking resemblance to the well-known Goomba enemy from ''Super Mario Bros.'', though jumping on them actually hurts Pit.
*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.
