'''Ishnail''' is a snail-like creature who is the leader of the [[Robbo Gang]] and the rival of [[Don Pianta]] in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. His name is a play on the main character of ''[[wikipedia:Moby-Dick|Moby-Dick]]'', [[wikipedia:Ishmael (Mobdy-Dick)|Ishmael]], and "snail". He is the second ''[[Paper Mario (series)|Paper Mario]]'' character whose name is a reference to Ishmael, the first being [[Fishmael]] from [[Paper Mario|the first game]]. | |||
Ishnail's base of operations can be found on the East side of [[Rogueport]]. Under his influence, the East side is far less secure than the West. It is unkempt, dirty, and serves as a hiding place for many bandits. His guard [[Gus]] even demands money for entering the further part of the East side. The West side is, on the contrary, rather secure and clean. | |||
On his quest for a [[Blimp Ticket]], [[Mario]] needed Ishnail's help on how to visit Don Pianta. For 64 [[coin]]s, Ishnail informed him that he needed to buy a [[Dried Shroom]], followed by a [[Dizzy Dial]], in [[Peeka]]'s [[Westside Goods|shop]], a secret sign known only to friends of Don Pianta. | On his quest for a [[Blimp Ticket]], [[Mario]] needed Ishnail's help on how to visit Don Pianta.

* ''That's Ishnail, leader of the thief band called the Robbos. He REALLY hates Don Pianta. I guess that's to be expected, since they're bitter rivals and everything. He's got some issues about money, but he's OK otherwise. Who knew?'' | *''That's Ishnail, leader of the thief band called the Robbos. He REALLY hates Don Pianta.
