Dryite



Dryites are a race of Toads that live at the Dry Dry Outpost in the game Paper Mario. They look the same as other Toads, except that they wear turbans and desert clothing instead of mushroom caps and vests due to the desert setting's sands that stings their skin. (If Toads' mushroom caps are to be thought of as heads, than it can be said that Dryites actually wear their turbans over their caps; however, Goombario states that their turbans are the reason for their large heads, suggesting that Dryites do indeed lack mushroom caps.) Mario can talk to the Dryites throughout his adventure to receive tips and hints. Interestingly, Goombario once claimed to be near-sure that all Dryites were somehow adults and one of Kolorado's Koopa co-workers claimed that the citizens of Dry Dry Outpost were all relatives of Dry Dry Desert's ancient dwellers, indicating that Dryites and Nomadimice (and perhaps other characters, such as Merlee) are descendants of the caretakers of places such as Dry Dry Ruins.
