Bumpty



Bumpty are a race of penguin-like creatures that first appeared in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island. Bumptys were usually found in icy areas simply wandering around. Yoshi couldn't swallow Bumptys and if he ran into one he would be repelled backwards. Like a lot of enemies in Yoshi's Island, Bumptys returned in Paper Mario. In this game, Mario travels to a city of Bumptys called Shiver City. He also meets a famous writer named Herringway who is a Bumpty. Bumptys also made a small appearance in Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door where they live in Poshley Heights, a town of the rich and famous. Mario also meets an incompetent detective Bumpty named Pennington.

It seems Bumptys can come in a few different colors as a Bumpty cop was green and the Mayor of Shiver City's wife was pink.
