The '''Shunned Guy''' is a [[Slurp Guy]] first found in the [[Indigo Underground]] in ''[[Paper Mario: Color Splash]]''. It can be located in a small cave branching off from a platforming room next to an upward-moving block, where it is seen sucking the color out of a [[Toad (species)|Toad]]. When [[Mario]] approaches it, it suddenly bends backward unnaturally and spots Mario before moving towards him similar to a [[2-Fold Goomba]] or a bug, initiating the battle. Mario tries to escape, but trips. Attacking the Shunned Guy with Jumps or Hammers does not damage it, but it can be defeated with fire-based attacks, outright stated in one of its in-battle quotes. The theme that plays during this battle, "Straw of Doom (Reprise)," is a ''{{wp|Psycho (1960 film)|Psycho}}''-style theme that plays earlier in the game when Mario first witnesses a Slurp Guy draining color from Toad.

The first Shunned Guy encounter, in its entirety, is a tribute to the horror genre, particularly horror movies: the entire room leading to it is quiet except for an ambient track, and the scene which introduces it shares lots of qualities with the typical reveal of a horror monster, such as the slow camera pan and the single piano chord that plays afterwards to underscore shock. The Shunned Guy bending over may be a reference to the horror film ''{{wp|The Exorcist (film)|The Exorcist}}'', which is supported by its internal name.<ref>''Paper Mario: Color Splash internal filename (<tt>\content\script\btl\enemy\heiho\as_btl_heiho_exorcist.bin.lz</tt>)</ref>
The Shunned Guy is also the final opponent in the third [[Roshambo Temple]] tournament before the [[Rock Paper Wizard]]'s appearance.


A Shunned Guy is also the third-round opponent in [[Roshambo Temple#Roshambo Temple #3|Roshambo Temple #3]], although after [[Ludwig von Koopa]] is defeated, it will be replaced by the [[Rock Paper Wizard]] until beaten.
A Shunned Guy appears in the kitchen of [[Tangerino Grill]] during the commotion caused by Shy Guys, in the shelves next to the sink.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ISF1Jmb9Y2I</ref> Another Shunned Guy also appears in the [[Sunset Express]] scaring one of the Red Rescue Squad members. In both appearances, a Shunned Guy can be defeated outside of battle with First Strike attacks, but still retain their invulnerability to Jump and Hammer attacks in battle.

Yet another appears in the [[Sunset Express]] scaring one of the Red Rescue Squad members. In both appearances, a Shunned Guy can be defeated outside of battle with First Strike attacks, but still retain their invulnerability to Jump and Hammer attacks while in battle.
