Bonneter

The Bonneters are a race of hat-like ghosts found in the region of Bonneton within the Cap Kingdom of Super Mario Odyssey. They all have Eerie-like bodies, heads shaped like hats, and big eyes with irises of various colors. As demonstrated by Cappy, they can also take on the appearances of other hats, such as the Mario Cap, and capture other beings, both animate or inanimate. Male Bonneters have top hat-shaped heads with a more pronounced eyebrow ridge while female Bonneters have bowler hat-shaped heads with ribbons and wingtip eyelashes.

There are two post-game quest involving Bonneters after the player defeats Bowser in the Moon Kingdom. One of these involve a single Bonneter who will appears in the Wooded Kingdom, Lost Kingdom, and the Snow Kingdom and will require the player to approach it while capturing an Uproot, Tropical Wiggler, and Snow Cheep Cheep respectively to gain a Power Moon. The other quest happens in the Sand Kingdom, Metro Kingdom, and the Snow Kingdom called "Hat-and-Seek". This quest has the player looking for Bonneters who take the form of other people's hats, similar to Cappy. Talking to that person with the Bonneter in it will award the player with a Power Moon.
