Parakarry and Mario can deliver Letters between him and his fishing buddies, Goompapa, Muss T., and Koover. He loves to fish and is always seen fishing in the ports of Toad Town. It is completely unknown what creature he is, although the fishing rod sticking out of his head resembles the antenna of a female anglerfish and his face is reminiscent of many cartoon fish.
