Tryclyde, also known as Triclyde, is a large, three-headed snake capable of breathing balls of fire, he is also an inhabitant of Subcon.
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 immune to Tryclyde's fire breath. After being hit by several Mushroom Blocks, Tryclyde would be defeated.
Appearances in Other Media
Cartoons
Tryclyde was featured in several episodes of The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!, which depicted him as being quite powerful, though somewhat idiotic. Instead of working for Wart, as he did in Super Mario Bros. 2, Tryclyde instead worked for King Koopa in The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!, often appearing to help him, Mouser and a Koopa Troopa in their plots; also, despite being shown to talk in The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!, Tryclyde rarely did so.
Comics
Though Tryclyde never made a direct appearance in any issues of Nintendo Comics System, one of the comics' "Dear Princess Toadstool" features had him writing to Princess Toadstool in a thinly veiled attempt to get a date with her.
