Zeekeeper: Difference between revisions

{{character-infobox

== History ==

When Peach is captured and taken to [[Neo Bowser Castle (Mario & Luigi: Dream Team)|Neo Bowser Castle]], Mario, Luigi, [[Starlow]] and Dreambert return to [[Pi'illo Castle]] when they hear [[Dr. Snoozemore]] has returned, who tells them that finding and bringing back the Zeekeeper could let them destroy the castle's barrier and confront [[Bowser]] and Antasma. They then go to [[Dreamy Pi'illo Castle]] to search for clues to his whereabouts, finding a statue that says the [[Ultibed]] is needed to summon him.

At this point though, the Zeekeeper mistakes Mario and [[Dreamy Luigi]], for intruders, attacking them as a result. This causes another Giant Battle to start, with Dreamy Luigi eventually defeating him with [[Finishing Bros.]]

After his defeat, the Zeekeeper has immediately gained respect for Luigi and congratulates him on his victory, then notices Dreambert with the Bros., and reverts to his usual, casual attitude. He then hears about the situation in the [[Real World]], and eventually agrees to attack Neo Bowser Castle once Mario pays his 80 million [[coin]] fee. However, this fee isn't directly paid for by Mario in the end.

After being defeated and meeting Dreambert, the Zeekeeper was revealed to be much lazier, greedier, and more laid-back than he first appeared, with a "surfer dude" way of talking. He treats Antasma as not much of a threat, not really wanting to bother to save the island and is rather loud in general. He's also a bit more fond of material wealth than Mario and co expect, asking for 80 million of Mario's coins to take down Neo Bowser Castle and eventually turning the remains of the Dream Stone into a giant Dream Coin instead of rebuilding it, and has the tendency to charge people for his aid. He however does have a good heart, and was willing to help out in the end, as seen when he saved Mario, Peach, and Luigi from falling to their deaths and deciding not make Mario and co pay him the 80 million coins, and also having the sense to know having a Dream Stone is a dangerous idea, and that it would be better to not rely on such things. He later shattered the Dream Coin into a rain of coins for all the people of the island to use to buy their wishes, and in creating the coin rain he created a new tourist attraction for the island, showing that he may not have been as greedy as he let on, although still having a great appreciation for coins.
