Mallow was born to the royal family in Nimbus Land, [[King Nimbus|King]] and [[Queen Nimbus]]. However, while still an infant, a storm hit Nimbus Land and Mallow, while in a basket, was swept away by the rain waters. The currents eventually brought the young Mallow to [[Tadpole Pond]], where he was discovered by the sage [[Frogfucius]]. Frogfucius removed the basket from the waters, discovering a little ball of puff inside. On the cloud child's belt, the name "Mallow" was inscribed.<ref name="NP pg30">''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars'' Nintendo Player's Guide, page 30.</ref> Frogfucius rightly deduced that this was the young cloud person's name, and he decided to raise Mallow as his grandson. The old [[frog]] raised him as one of his own, and as such Mallow grew up believing he was a [[tadpole]], despite his unusual appearance in relation to the tadpoles he grew up with. However, throughout his childhood, Mallow never felt like a normal tadpole - he didn't have a tail, he was a bad [[jump|jumper]] and a terrible swimmer; additionally, he was also much larger than all the other tadpoles.<ref name="NP pg30" | Mallow was born to the royal family in Nimbus Land, [[King Nimbus|King]] and [[Queen Nimbus]].

One day, Mallow visited the [[Mushroom Kingdom]] to buy a [[Special Items (Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars)|Cricket Pie]] for Frogfucius. However, the [[Frog Coin]] he was given to buy it was stolen by [[Croco]], a reptilian thief. Mallow attempted to chase him, but Croco was too fast. Mallow gave up and began to cry. A rainstorm started, revealing Mallow's unusual control over the weather. | One day, Mallow visited the [[Mushroom Kingdom]] to buy a [[Special Items (Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars)|Cricket Pie]] for Frogfucius.
