BACKGROUND:
Rob-ombs are relatives of the Bob-omb. Initially a few Bob-ombs were captured by Booster, and his crack team of Snifits determined how to engineer their own variation on Bob-ombs, known as the Rob-omb.
Like their cousins, Rob-ombs basically look like a bomb with eyes and feet. They also have a wind-up key on the back. They are generally used for home
defense by Booster, but like just about everything, he likes to play with them
too.
Rob-ombs tend to be a little bit stronger than Bob-Ombs, but they can't
withstand as much damage.
QUOTES:

STATS AND STRATEGIES:
Games: Super Mario RPG
HP: 42
Offense: 54 (Normal) 1 (Magic)
Defense: 63 (Normal) 20 (Magic)
Speed: Slow.
Items: 1 coin, and it may leave behind a Pick Me Up.
Points: 6
Attack Pattern: They tend to walk
around in circles on the map. When you enter a battle with them, they'll rely on blowing up, just like Bob-Ombs.
Basic Strategies: Most magic works really well, and regular attacks are pretty good too.
Advanced Strategies: They give
you a Defense Up, plus you only have a limited time to beat them, so attack these guys first. Mallow's Thunder attack is the best - it will kill all of them if timed properly. But if there are only a couple of them, it's best to save your FP and use regular attacks. Bowser's Terrorize will work, but it's not as good as Thunder; don't waste your time with other special attacks.
Blocking them is just like Bob-ombs, press A just as they rebound of their chosen target.
