Li'l Oink

"I wish the whole world was filled with Li'l Oinks"

- Toad

Li'l Oinks are pig-like animals found in Toad Town in Paper Mario. They have a variety of different patterns on their skin. Li'l Oinks may or may not be used as livestock by the Toads.

Mario can buy a Li'l Oink egg for 10 Coins. By hitting the egg with his Hammer, the egg will hatch into a random Li'l Oink. Mario can have up to ten Li'l Oinks in the Li'l Oink pen, but the moment the 11th is hatched, the first Li'l Oink will run away, leaving behind an item. If Mario chooses to collect this item by entering the pen, however, all the Li'l Oinks will get scared and run away. Mario can, however, ignore the item to keep his Li'l Oinks. The Li'l Oinks will leave in the same order they were hatched, so if, for example, Mario wants the item held by the second Li'l Oink, he will need to hatch twelve eggs. If he wants the item held by the third one hatched, thirteen eggs are needed, and so on.

There are ten varieties of Li'l Oinks, and each one holds a different item. In increasing order of rarity, they are:


 * White.....................Super Shroom
 * Black......................Dried Shroom
 * Flower....................Maple Syrup
 * Pink.......................Fire Flower
 * Tiger......................Thunder Rage
 * ? Mark....................Repel Gel
 * Shroom...................Life Shroom
 * Star.......................Shooting Star
 * Silver......................Jammin' Jelly
 * Gold........................Ultra Shroom

In Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, the residents of Twilight Town are turned into pigs that look very similar to Li'l Oinks. This transformation was brought about by Doopliss. Super Paper Mario features Squiglet enemies, which also resemble L'il Oinks.
