"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 and the Spiral of Magicant 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.
