+'''Fishmael''' is seen in ''[[Paper Mario]]'' fishing by the docks at the port and arguing with a [[Fuzzipede]]. [[Parakarry]] and [[Mario]] can deliver [[letter]]s between him and his fishing buddies, [[Goompapa]], [[Muss T.]], and [[Koover]]. He loves to fish and is always seen fishing in the ports of [[Toad Town]]. It is completely unknown what creature he is, although the fishing rod sticking out of his head resembles the antenna of a female {{wp|anglerfish}} and his face is reminiscent of many cartoon fish. His name comes from {{wp|Ishmael (Moby-Dick)|Ishmael}}, the sailor/teacher from the famous 19th century novel ''{{wp|Moby-Dick}}'', whose name in turn comes from {{wp|Ishmael}}, the son of {{wp|Hagar}} and {{wp|Abraham}}. His name is also similar to the item "Fishmeal", a brown powder created when fish is processed. His name is revealed from the description of the [[letter]] addressed to him, but it is later mentioned again in a dialogue from the Fuzzipede after Chapter 6 is completed. In the Japanese version of the game, he is simply described as つりをしている人 (tsuri o shiteiru hito) in the description of the letter and つり人 (tsuribito) by Fuzzipede, both of which translate to "the fishing person". Goombario's [[Tattle]] does not include his name in either version.

-*His name comes from [[Wikipedia:Ishmael (Moby-Dick)|Ishmael]], the sailor/teacher from the famous 19th century novel ''Moby Dick''. [[Ishnail]], from [[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door|the following game]], also shares that similarity with Fishmael.
-*Fishmael's name is not discovered by the player from Goombario's Tattle information.  Goombario refers to him as "...this guy..."  This is odd, as Goombario usually knows the names of all the game's characters. Rather, his name is discovered during the Letter sidequest mentioned above.
