Magmads are enemies that appear in Mario & Luigi: Dream Team. They make can be encountered in Dreamy Mount Pajamaja (the Dream World version of Mount Pajamaja), more specifically in the Dreampoint located near the summit.
Behaviour[]
In Mario & Luigi: Dream Team[]
In the field, Magmads burst into flames and chase after Mario and Luigi, stopping after a few seconds and becoming vulnerable to an ambush as their flames die.
Combat[]
During battle, Magmads cannot be jumped on due to their flaming heads. Both Magmads and their colder counterparts called Iceads can be fought together and attack in tandem. Their first attack involves them stacking up on both sides of the Mario Bros. and firing fireballs and ice blasts. Mario and Luigi can save their skin by jumping over the lower blasts (Press the corresponding target's button with good timing to avoid the blast completely.) and ducking under the higher ones (no command required). Dodging the blasts will cause them to continue sailing onward and smashing into whatever is on the other side. If a fireball strikes a Magmad, or an ice blast strikes an Icead, the enemy is healed. If a mismatched projectile strikes the creature, the Magmad or Icead will take damage. The second attack involves making themselves liquid and then ambushing the Bros. Mario and Luigi must use their hammers to smash the enemies as the Magmads and Iceads stick their heads up to attack.
Magmads can attack on their own by charging the Bros. while on fire. This attack can be avoided if the Bros. jump over them completely, but sometimes, the Magmads' flame goes out, meaning their head can be stomped on. Magmads can Burn their victim with their attacks.
Magmads can become Iceads upon taking damage and vice versa.
A Magmad is a Level 18 enemy with 125 hit points, 137 power, 98 defense, and 70 speed, giving 50 experience and dropping 20 coins along with a Super Candy and/or Secret Box upon defeat.
In Mario & Luigi: Brothership[]
Magmads can also be encountered in Mario & Luigi: Brothership, where they are encountered on Heatfreeze Island and Skorcheen Island; in the former location, they can be accompanied by a new spiky version of Icead. In battle, Magmads can attack by breathing fire on their opposition (which must be jumped over), or performing their ambush attack from Dream Team (blocked the same as before, but the fire spit is replaced with a headbutt). If there is more than one, two can bounce a fireball between themselves and inch towards a target, who must repel the fireball with a hammer strike. A Glohm-infected variant can be found later in the game.
Upon defeat, Magmads can drop Heatfreeze Ore.
Behind the Scenes[]
Etymology[]
The Magmad's name comes from a pun on "magma" (molten rock) and "mad" (colloquial word for "angry", can also mean "insane" or "crazy").
Nomenclature[]
In Japanese, Magmads were known as "Magmans" (singular "Magman," Maguman Japanese, written マグマン), with their name being identical to that of the Splorch. Their Chinese name, Róngyán Guài (written 熔岩怪), literally means "Volcano Monster," which fits due to their design making them resemble a volcano. Spanish calls them "Ígnius," from ígneo (which means "igneous"), with the Latin adjective-creating ending -ius. In Portuguese, the enemy is called "Ígnius" as well, with the same root as the Spanish name. In Italian, their name is Mágmide, from magma ("magma") and the suffix -ide ("pertaining to"), therefore meaning "pertaining to magma." French translates their name as Magman, ripped straight from Japanese. In German, they are called Magmirren (singular Magmirr), from "magma" and irrlicht ("will-o'-wisp"), and in Russian, they are called Lavun (written Лавун), which comes from lava ("lava"; written лава) and the Russian masculine noun ending -un (written -ун).
Trivia[]
- Magmads bear a resemblance to the Magman boss from Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards.
