Larson

"Heh heh heh! I'm pullin' another card trick today and makin' tons of loot! ...But somebody started tailin' me, so I came here to hide out for awhile.  Don't tell anyone you saw me here...OR I'LL BOP YOU!!!"

- Larson

Larson is a Bandit who stole Goomther's credit card in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. After he stole Goomther's credit card he wanted to keep stealing however after Goomther told the Trouble Center, Larson hid in the hidden alley of Rogueport where Darkly is. Larson's dialogue is generally the same throughout the game, but after each chapter his ending phrase changes (for example, in one chapter it is, "--OR I'LL BOB YOU!!!" while in another it is, "--OR I'LL CRY!!!" See above quote for the dialogue, the changing text is not in italics).

If the player takes Goomther's trouble, Mario and his partners have to chase Larson around Rogueport until they get the credit card back.
