'''Kretin''' (known as '''Keratin''' in the British English version) is a molecule with two forms called '''Alpha Kretin''' and '''Beta Kretin''' (called '''Alpha Keratin''' and '''Beta Keratin''' in the British English version), a form that connects itself to other Kretin units that change color, and a singular entity that is capable of cloning itself, respectively. It appears as a boss in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'' and its [[Nintendo 3DS|3DS]] remake, ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey]]''.

Its North American name is a pun on "{{wp|keratin}}", a body protein (from which the British English name is derived), and "cretin", a derogatory term for a stupid person.

*One of the two Alpha Kretin formations vaguely resembles the logo of [[AlphaDream]], the company that developed the ''Mario & Luigi'' series of installments.
*One of the two Alpha Kretin formations vaguely resembles the logo of [[AlphaDream]], the company that developed the ''Mario & Luigi'' series of installments.
*The English name for "Kretin" comes from "keratin", a body protein, and "cretin", a derogatory term for a bully.
*In the original game, using Special Attacks (e.g. [[Yoo Who Cannon]]) counts as attacking either red or green Kretins simultaneously if either Mario or Luigi are using the attack. This was changed in the [[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey|remake]] to block attacks if both Mario and Luigi are attacking.
