Behavior
Attacks by rolling in a ball towards the player, dealing contact damage and knock-back. Dodge roll through their roll attack and attack them when they get out of their ball form.

If you attack these enemies with a melee weapon while their spiked back is facing you, you will take damage.

A downward slam attack on these enemies while cursed and using the "Mario Jump" modifier will cause you take damage and die.
