"While Fobby is one of the weakest foes, he is capable of discharging a deadly Brain Shock attack."
EarthBound Player's Guide

Fobbies are enemies in EarthBound. They are stronger variants of the Foppies found within Lumine Hall as enemies useful for experience-grinding due to their high experience-over-challenge ratio. They are one of the few enemies in the game that need to concentrate to use PSI, making them even more harmless.
