- “Step right up, if you're ready to get toasted!”
- —Tryclyde, Super Mario Advance
Tryclyde, also known as Triclyde, is a large, three-headed snake capable of breathing balls of fire, he is also an inhabitant of Subcon, the land of dreams.
Not much of Tryclyde's past is revealed, though it is mentioned that he was originally a loner and outcast, who was shunned by others due to his cunning mind and evil tendencies; due to these traits, Tryclyde was recruited by Wart in his plot to take over Subcon.
In Super Mario Bros. 2, Tryclyde acts as the guardian of World 2 and World 6 and upon sighting the player, will shoot fireballs at them. In order to injure Tryclyde, the player would need to throw several Mushroom Blocks at him, which were resistant to Tryclyde's fire breath. After being hit by several Mushroom Blocks, Tryclyde would be defeated.
