Because Enigmas are made up of many small creatures, they can reform their bodies, and do so when they need to. This ability is especially noticable when an Enigma feels threatened.
Enigmas are quite intelligent, and could be dangerous, except that the are usually pretty tame. They became more aggressive than usual during the invasion of the Smithy Gang, possibly because of Punchinello's attack on their main habitat, the Moleville mines.
Attack Pattern: They like to use regular attacks, combined with the occassional Echofinder attack. This spell will prevent one party member from using Special Attacks.
Basic Strategies: These creatures should be one of your later targets, usually. You may want to fight them before Clusters, since they have more powerful attacks and can "mute" your characters.
Advanced Strategies: Don't waste magic on these guys; their magic defense rating is too high. The Geno Beam works pretty well, as does Mario's Jump attack, but neither one is a lot better than a regular timed-hit, unless you have Jump Shoes on Mario...in this case, he can probably beat them with one timed regular Jump attack!
Blocking Enigmas is quite hard. They form an arrow in front of one character, then they twitch a couple of times and split apart. You need to try to block as they are splitting apart.
