The '''Punies''' are a species of small quadrupedal creatures which resemble insects found in the game ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. They live in [[the Great Tree]] located in the [[Boggly Woods]]. [[Mario]] must use them to defeat a rival clan, the [[Jabbi]]es, twice in the Great Tree. | The '''Punies''' are a species of small quadrupedal creatures which resemble insects found in the game ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''.

The name "Puni" is likely derived from「ぷにぷに」(''punipuni''), a Japanese word describing something squishy, but also resembles the English word "puny", meaning "small". The way Mario leads the Punies is very similar to [[Pikmin]]. Like the Pikmin, the Punies follow Mario everywhere and are used to solve puzzles, but they can scatter and depart from him if they get distracted. The number of Punies Mario leads is similar to Pikmin; [[Captain Olimar]] can lead 100 Pikmin while Mario leads 101 Punies. In addition, the glowing antenna the Punies sport on their heads mirrors both the Pikmins' stems | The name "Puni" is likely derived from「ぷにぷに」(''punipuni''), a Japanese word describing something squishy, but also resembles the English word "puny", meaning "small".

In battle, Punies are members of the [[audience]] and will swarm in if Mario pulls off a [[stylish move]]. If a loud noise emits, though, all Punies flee. | In battle, Punies are members of the [[audience]] and will swarm in if Mario pulls off a [[stylish move]].
