Pokey

For the Earthbound character, see Pokey Minch.

Pokey, is a cactus monster that first appears in Super Mario Bros. 2. Pokey consists of four green segments that detach when an enemy or object is thrown at him; to completely defeat Pokey, all four segments must be killed. New Super Mario Bros. features a character named "Mummipokey", a gigantic mummified pokey with red eyes. Other types include Poison Pokeys and Skellokey. Pokey made a cameo appearance in The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening, in the Yarna Desert on Koholint Island, and again in Oracle of Ages and Oracle of Seasons.
