Dupree, Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door

Dupree is a blue, disco-diva wannabe Doogan-like creature who speaks with a French accent and sports a pink afro. It is never revealed whether his accent is real, or if Dupree is faking it to flirt with the ladies, all of whom dislike him. He appears often in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door; Goombella even says she's impressed by how he always seems to know where Mario and company are going to be, and how he always gets there ahead of them.

Dupree first appears in Petalburg, where he unsuccessfully tries to form a romantic relationship with Goombella. He is next seen in Boggly Woods, claiming he came to warn Mario and Goombella about the imminent arrival of the Shadow Sirens. Goombella believes him to be following her around and is disgusted; when Mario tells her he doesn't think this is why Dupree keeps showing up (perhaps in a bid to calm her down), Goombella is insulted. In Twilight Town he gets turned into a pig like most of the city citizens, and the shopkeeper thinks he is her husband. Then, when Dupree turns back into his original self, he gets accused of flirting with the shopkeeper and a huge altercation ensues. Later, he appears in the Hotel in Poshley Heights before the Garnet Star is taken. After that, he makes a pass at the Bob-omb owner of Fahr Outpost's Inn, prompting her to throw him out of her Inn and into the snow. After Chapter 7 is completed, Dupree goes to Keelhaul Key and can be found standing on the dock. He remains there for the rest of the game, and will still be there after the game is beaten.
