Montys (also referred to simply as Moles) are enemies that appear in Super Mario Galaxy in Battlerock Galaxy, Gusty Garden Galaxy, and Dreadnought Galaxy. They are moles that wear blue, striped bandanas and wield wrenches as their method of attack, which makes them analogous to both Monty Moles and Rocky Wrenches. They also appear to be Pirates.
Montys attack by throwing wrenches at Mario (or Luigi), an attack that is also used by the Rocky Wrench a similar enemy from other Mario titles. They retreat into their hole if the player approaches them, re-emerging as the player moves away. When a Monty is at the surface, you can either shoot a Star Bit at it or perform a Ground Pound nearby to knock the Monty over, making it susceptible to any attacks, such as stomping or spinning.

Trivia
- The internal file name for the wrench Montys throw is "MoguStone," suggesting that they may have originally been intended to throw rocks, thus making them even more similar to the Monty Moles of Super Mario 64 and Super Mario 64 DS as opposed to behaving more like a Rocky Wrench.
