'''Mawful Moles''' are a species of [[Monty Mole]] with [[Fawful]]-like attributes that are found as enemies in [[Blubble Lake]] from ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'' and its [[Nintendo 3DS]] remake, ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey]]''. [[Bowser]] can defeat Mawful Moles in the overworld by simply crushing them and earning some [[coin]]s in the process, while [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] can engage them in battle. Mawful Moles also have a stronger [[Metal Mawful Mole|metal variant]] encountered in [[Peach's Castle Garden]] found later in the game.
'''Mawful Moles''' are a species of [[Monty Mole]] with [[Fawful]]-like attributes that exclusively appear in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'' and its [[Nintendo 3DS]] remake, ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey]]''. In both of these games, Mawful Moles can be encountered as standard enemies throughout [[Blubble Lake]]. While [[Bowser]] can simply defeat Mawful Moles in the overworld by simply crushing them and earning some [[coin]]s in the process, [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] are able to engage them in battle. In addition to the standard Mawful Moles found throughout Blubble Lake, the Mawful Moles also have a stronger [[Metal Mawful Mole|metallic variant]] that can be encountered in [[Peach's Castle Garden]] later in the game.


Mawful Moles attack by throwing boulders at the Mario Bros., which is countered by a [[jump]]. If the Mawful Mole gets dirt on their face, they will miss and throw the boulder really high, which will hurt the brothers if they jump, but will miss if they stand still. The Mawful Moles have another attack, in-which they "wink", showing which brother they are going to attack. This attack can be countered with the [[hammer]], which can be done several times while the Mawful Mole is popping out of the holes until they jump over the selected brother to fall on him which causes damage. However, this attack can also be countered with the hammer, which results in the Mawful Mole being forced back in the hole it came out from.
In-battle, Mawful Moles attack by throwing boulders at the Mario Bros., which can be easily countered by [[jump]]ing over them. However, on occasion  the Mawful Mole will get dirt on their face, causing them to miss their throw and instead throw the boulder over their target (making either Mario or Luigi have to stand still in order to avoid the boulder opposed to jumping over it normally). In addition, the Mawful Moles have another attack, in-which they will "wink" to signal which brother they are going to attack. After which, the Mawful Mole will dig in front of both Bros. and repeatedly pop their head out in quick succession before attempting to jump on their target in order to damage them. However, both Mario and Luigi can damage the Mawful Mole by using their [[hammer]]s to whack the Mawful Mole while they are popping their head out of the ground. Additionally, the Bros. can use their hammers to also counter the Mawful Mole's jump attack by whacking them straight back to the hole they jumped out of and canceling their attack.


Mawful Moles also appear as support enemies in the giant battle against the [[Tower of Yikk]], where a group of them sometimes repair the tower to restore its HP. Bowser can quickly defeat these Mawful Moles by breathing fire on them.

In ''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey'', Mawful Moles have the coloration and proportions of regular Monty Moles (with many of the sprites of Mawful Moles having a strong resemblance to the Monty Mole sprites from ''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]'' and ''[[Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam]]''). Additionally, they now take critical damage from hammer attacks. In the Tower of Yikk battle, the Mawful Moles now have an extra line of dialogue before repairing the Tower. This makes Mawful Moles (along with [[Fawflant]]s and technically [[Fawfulcopter]]s) one of the very few Fawful themed enemies to be shown talking onscreen (though this only applies to ''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey'', as Mawful Moles had no dialogue in the original [[Nintendo DS|DS]] version).
In ''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey'', Mawful Moles were redesigned to have the coloration and proportions of regular Monty Moles (with many of their sprites having a strong resemblance to the Monty Mole sprites from ''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]'' and ''[[Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam]]''). Additionally, they now take critical damage from hammer attacks. In the Tower of Yikk battle, the Mawful Moles now also have an extra line of dialogue before repairing the Tower.
