Koopley

Koopley is Koops' father in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. Ever since he came to Hooktail Castle to slay Hooktail, Hooktail swallowed him whole. Koops thought he was dead and joined Mario's team to avenge his death. After Mario, Goombella and Koops defeat Hooktail, Koopley came out of Hooktail's stomach with the first Crystal Star, the Diamond Star. Any actions he did to survive after being swallowed whole by Hooktail for 10 years are unknown.
