'''Eekers''' are monsters fought in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]''. They are found in [[Woohoo Hooniversity]], but never on the field, instead showing up alongside [[Virus]]es. The Eeker has two attacks. Its first attack can be spotted if the Eeker runs up to its target and starts filling up with fire. Use the [[Hammer]] to defend before it fills up, or it will shoot deadly fireballs in all directions. In its second, more common attack, it will cross its arms one to three times and tilt an equal number of times before lunging at its target. [[Jump]] to counter after the appropriate number of tilts.

'''Eekers''' are enemies found at [[Woohoo Hooniversity]] in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]''. They resemble Erlenmeyer flasks wearing grass skirts and holding two torches. Their name is a portmanteau of "eek" and "beaker" despite them resembling flasks. They do not show up on the field, but they fight alongside [[Virus]]es. The Eeker has two attacks, each with a different counter: its first attack involves crossing its arms and then tilting an equal number of times before charging at [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]], which is countered by [[Jump|jumping]] on it, and its second attack has it charge up with fire and spew out fireballs, which must be countered with the [[hammer]] before it releases them. If an Eeker is attacked on offense, but not defeated by Mario or Luigi on his first attempt, the Eeker will immediately charge up with fire so that the next time it performs the latter attack, it cannot be countered before releasing fireballs at one of the brothers.


Eeker is a portmanteau of "eek" and "beaker", though the creature more resembles a flask than a beaker.
In [[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions|the remake]], their eyes are no longer red, their feet are no longer in the air, and their first attack has them dancing to music before attacking, making it easier to attack them.

First appearance Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga (2003)
Latest appearance Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions (2017)

Eekers are enemies found at Woohoo Hooniversity in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga. They resemble Erlenmeyer flasks wearing grass skirts and holding two torches. Their name is a portmanteau of "eek" and "beaker" despite them resembling flasks. They do not show up on the field, but they fight alongside Viruses. The Eeker has two attacks, each with a different counter: its first attack involves crossing its arms and then tilting an equal number of times before charging at Mario or Luigi, which is countered by jumping on it, and its second attack has it charge up with fire and spew out fireballs, which must be countered with the hammer before it releases them. If an Eeker is attacked on offense, but not defeated by Mario or Luigi on his first attempt, the Eeker will immediately charge up with fire so that the next time it performs the latter attack, it cannot be countered before releasing fireballs at one of the brothers.

In the remake, their eyes are no longer red, their feet are no longer in the air, and their first attack has them dancing to music before attacking, making it easier to attack them.
