Shamans are a species featured in some of the Mario role-playing games. They first appear in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars.

Physical description[]

Shamans resemble wizards wearing coats that completely cover their body. Because of this, only their eyes are seen.

In Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars[]

Shaman SMRPG sprite

Shamans appear as both a friendly species and enemies. In battle, the Shaman's Psychopath thought is "I'm losing this fight!", and they mainly attack with spells. Shamans can be seen as shopkeepers at the Sea, but as enemies, they are fought at Nimbus Land and Bowser's Keep. Due to their high magical defense, the Shamans are very weak to physical attacks so Mario's Jump moves are greatly effective against them.

In Paper Mario series[]

Shamans only appear as allies in every Paper Mario installment except Paper Mario: Sticker Star. Many Shamans make an appearance, but one of the most notable ones is Merlon, who has a lot more appearances than the others (except for also Merlee). The Shamans fulfill a variety of purposes such as predicting the next path, finding the location of Star Pieces, and helping Mario during a point of a battle.
