The Doppelganger Staff (Japanese: 身がわりの杖) is a staff introduced to the Super Famicom release of  Mystery Dungeon: Shiren the Wanderer. When swung, it will fire a bolt that will transform any Monster or Character it hits into a fake Shiren and confuse them. All monsters that see the "fake Shiren" will attack it instead of you. Even if they have to go around you to get to the fake. While transformed, monsters cannot use their special abilities (as if it were Sealed), but they can still attack Shiren physically. If a monster defeats the fake Shiren or vice versa, they will level up as they normally would.

When a Doppelganger Staff bolt is reflected back at Shiren by a Air Devil Family Monster, Shiren becomes Confused.

Tips For Use

• Since it prevents monsters from using their special abilities, a Doppelganger Staff is, in effect, a Sealing Staff with the added advantage of luring away other monsters.
