Puniper



"Don't get a swelled head! This doesn't mean I'll accept you as our leader..."

- Puniper

Puniper is a fat Puni that lives in The Great Tree in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. He doubts Mario's skills as a hero at first but eventually he sees Mario as a good leader. He does not help initially and will not support Mario until he saves the Puni Elder.

Goombella's tattle for him is: ''That's Puniper of the Punies. He sure is big for a Puni. Too bad his head is big too!''

Trivia

 * The real game's tattle misspells "Puni" as "Puny".
