Glydon

Glydon is a bipedal, talking, flying lizard who is enthusiastic about flying and gliding. Mario meets Glydon in several Kingdoms throughout the game Super Mario Odyssey. He states that he's travelling to various Kingdoms to glide from the highest places.

Mario can take control of Glydon to glide and dive, however, when captured, Glydon is unable to swim and simply disappears as soon as he touches water. Some Power Moons are obtained from other non-playable characters when Mario succesfully reaches distant places by gliding with Glydon.

Physical appearance
Glydon is a yellow bipedal. He's taller than Mario and features a long tail, two hands with three fingers and a thumb each and two rather short legs which are typically kept significantly bent and almost perpendicular to his tail, resulting in a very peculiar walking gait. He also has two giant membranes on his shoulders that he uses for flying that are reddish-orange in colour, with various visible veinings on the inside, while the outside is red into orange on the tip, featuring irregular yellow stripes. The rest of his skin is mostly yellow with faintly visible scales, bar the back which features small orange stripes, the lower part of his body and from the lower part of the muzzle up to the tip of his tail, which is fully white and doesn't feature scales. His head features three short black hairs on the tip and eyes which are at the side and slightly protruding from the head.His eyes have big black pupils surrounded by small light orange irises and a white sclera, a well as yellow eyelids that he typically keeps lowered until he has been captured by Mario. The upper tip of his muzzle features two small nostrils while the mouth itself is toothless and only features a red rounded tongue. He wears small round red spectales on the tip of his muzzle, reddish brown shoes with beige outsoles, similar to those worn by Yoshis and a bandana with alternating yellow and red stripes that end with yellow and red triangles and a green outline
