Tenderlings are enemies which appear in Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story and Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey.

Profile[]

Physical description[]

A Tenderling is a living piece of meat with a pair of two eyes, two small, yellow feet, and a bone sticking out from its left and right ends each.

In Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story/Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey[]

Tenderlings are primarily encountered in the Flab Zone of Bowser's body. Aside from this, if ever Mario and Luigi answer one of Nutsoglobin's questions incorrectly, a Tenderling falls out of a pipe nearby, and the brothers are forced to fight it. The brothers also fight two Tenderlings during the tutorial on using Badges.

During battle, a Tenderling attacks by first jumping then spinning at either Mario or Luigi. A Tenderling can also jump over either brother, indicated by them jumping higher and spinning faster before attacking, and in this case, if the targeted brother jumps, he takes damage.

Tenderlings are sometimes paired with Calorites in battle. If a Calorite eats a Tenderling, another Calorite is formed.
