Nommon

Nommons are a species who inhabit Pi'illo Island, appearing in Mario & Luigi: Dream Team. Nommons are purple-skinned mole-like creatures with large bulb-shaped heads, beady yellow eyes, dark purple faces, small pink beaks, mole-like claws and pink flowers growing on the top of their heads. They once inhabited the island along with the Pi'illos but after they were turned to stone by Antasma the Nommons kept several petrified Pi'illos as play things and they continued to live a simple and reclusive existence within Somnom Woods. After completing the Ultibed, Mario and Luigi head deep into Somnom Woods to find the Zeekeeper's temple and along the way they are forced to play games with the Nommons in order to acquire the petrified Pi'illo Masters they posses which are needed to enter the temple.

Trivia

 * Nommons revere a deity known as the Watchoverer.
 * Starlow originally assumed that Nommons revered the petrified Pi'illos as deities before finding out they actually used Pi'illos as playthings.
