'''Captain Gills''' is a fish from ''[[Super Paper Mario]]''. As an infant, he used to be [[Pook]]'s pet and is kept in a cup until he grew too big for it, then is transferred to a [[Goldfish Bowl]] given by [[Merlon]]. It turns out [[Mario]] needs that fish bowl as a Space [[Helmet]] for Chapter 4-1, so Pook was asked for it back. He would only accept to give it back if they gave Captain Gills a new home, for he was growing even too big for his own fish bowl. Mario, [[Princess Peach|Peach]], and [[Bowser]] had to free him into the underground canal of [[Flipside]]'s B1st Floor.

'''Captain Gills''' is a fish from ''[[Super Paper Mario]]''. He is [[Pook]]'s pet goldfish and can be found in [[Flipside]].


At the start of Chapter 4, Mario and his team discover that they require a [[Helmet]] in order to properly enter [[Outer Space]] to find the next [[Pure Heart]]. [[Merlon]] asks them to go and retrieve a [[Goldfish Bowl]] he had given away to Pook. Pook explains to them that his fish Captain Gills has been growing larger and larger each day, so much so that even the goldfish bowl has grown too small to accommodate him. He agrees to give them the bowl to use as a helmet provided that they find a proper environment for his goldfish to live in first.
After every chapter, Captain Gills got bigger and bigger until, at the end of the game, grew to his largest size and became the master of his own canal. He has grown big and scary, and seems to have survived by turning carnivore. (Three piles of unidentified bones can be found at the canal's floor as well as many more bones when Mario flips into 3-D.) Although Pook would still ramble about how much he wished to see Captain Gills (and that he was actually going to see him on his travels out on sea), [[Tiptron]] stated that Captain Gills, in this form, no longer needed any little children in his life.


In order to release Captain Gills, the player must bring him to the first basement floor of Flipside, near [[The Underwhere (bar)|The Underwhere]], where the goldfish bowl can be emptied into the canal located there. Captain Gills takes up residence in the lowest portion of the canal, where he continues to grow in size with each passing chapter. It is also implied that he becomes carnivorous during this time, as a few skeletons of other fish can be seen in the canal in 2D and several more if Mario [[flip]]s into 3D.
He is the only fish in the canal, but somehow, got his own children: Gills Jr., Gills II, Gills III, Gills IV, and Gills V. (Tiptron credits [[Stork|the Stork]] as to how they came to be.) He has raised all of his children to be carnivores like him.  
 
After the end of the game, the player can return to the canal to discover that Captain Gills has somehow been gifted with five children of his own; his tattle credits the [[Stork]] with how they came to be. He has apparently raised all of his children to be carnivores like him.
