Stompillar (originally called Corkpedite) is a golem enemy in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars, found in Barrel Volcano. Stompillars are immensely powerful creatures in battle, mostly due to their great physical attacks and defense. It is divided into two parts: a head (called the "Stompillar" itself in the game) and a body (named the "Body"). Both parts have separate health points, so Mario must defeat both parts to completely defeat the creature. The two parts share resistances and weakness, but the head has superior stats, because it is the one that actually attacks. Once the head is eliminated, the Body will use Migraine on one of Mario's party members. If the Body is defeated first, the head will defeat itself on its next turn. Lava Babbles and Urspikes are often fought alongside the creature in battle.

Stompillars can also be encountered outside of battle, unlike many large enemies in the game, though they are gray, their pieces are somewhat more compacted together, and they lack a Body. They can be seen knocking Urspikes from the ceiling by stomping the ground.

There is an unused enemy named Pile Driver who shares the same sprite as the Stompillar, only shaded blue.
