Throphers[1] (originally known as Mukumuku, and also called Muku for short)[2] are gophers found on Star Hill in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars. Throphers fight alongside Mastadooms, Geckos and Sackits, and attack by hitting a party member with their hands. Throphers can also throw an assortment of random objects used in other enemy attacks, ranging from normal projectiles such as bones and non-explosive Microbombs, to odd objects like coins, to nonsensical visual effects like musical notes and tiny birds to attack the team; this is similar to the special attack Monster Toss used by Croco and Lakitus.

Thropher Cookies can be used to summon Throphers themselves to battle. These cookies can only be obtained by using a Yoshi Cookie on a Thropher, or by buying from the Seaside Town shop before fighting Speardovich.

Its name in the remake is a portmanteau of "throw" and "gopher".
