Kuribo is a Sockop that appears in Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story and its remake Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey. Its name is taken from the Japanese name of Goombas, likely as a reference to the Goomba's Shoe (which Sockops resemble), referred to as "Kuribo's Shoe" for the original release of Super Mario Bros. 3. In the Japanese version of the game, Kuribo is unnamed.[1] In battle, it is referred to simply as Sockop.

Like all Sockops, it lives in Dimble Wood, and is found alongside two other Sockops, the three arguing over who gets to "chug" the unconscious Mario. Kuribo is referred to as a "hog" among its companions, as it wants to chug Mario and even Luigi after already chugging an Attack Piece Block. However, after Mario is revived and helps Luigi out of the Sockop he is trapped in, they and the giant Sockop Luigi was using team up to battle them.
