Buzzar

"Yow! I got whupped!"

- Buzzar

Buzzar is an enemy that was hired by Bowser to stop Mario during the events of Paper Mario, where he resides in a nest at the end of Mt. Rugged with a brood of eggs. His name comes from "buzzard", a term used to refer to North American vultures, which he is modeled after, even speaking with an American Southern accent, using words like "yer" instead of "you're". Although in the German version of the game, he speaks with a Bavarian accent instead.

In Paper Mario, Buzzar guards the mountain bridge, however he is not very smart, and if Mario claims to be Luigi, he will simply let him pass, as Bowser only told him to stop Mario. This can be done indefinitely, ultimately making Buzzar an optional mini-boss only. If Mario claims his name is Princess Peach, Buzzar becomes enraged and thinks that Mario is making fun of him because the bird knows that the Princess has been captured by Bowser, and a battle commences. Buzzar will also attack Mario if he is honest about who he is. After being defeated, Buzzar jumps over the edge of the mountain, never to return. He is, however, seen in the credits, at which points his chicks are shown hatching from their eggs.

Buzzar is mentioned in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. The entrepreneur Lumpy actually travels to Mt. Rugged, and has his backpack stolen by Buzzar. Mario can read about this event in Lumpy's diary.
