'''Lochladies''' are {{wp|mermaid}}-like creatures found in the region of [[Lake Lamode]] within the [[Lake Kingdom]] of ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]''. They are found in blue, pink, and silver color schemes. Each of them wear a kelp headdress and a pair of golden bracelets. No male counterpart to the Lochladies appears to exist; however, according to ''[[The Art of Super Mario Odyssey]]'', male counterparts known as "Mermen" were originally going to appear to populate Lake Lamode within the Lake Kingdom but were replaced with [[Bubblainian]]s in the final game.<ref>https://twitter.com/mariobrothblog/status/1221242739234430979</ref> Lochladies are known for their strength and flexibility, which lend to their professions as accomplished designers.<ref>''In-game brochure for Lake Lamode''</ref>

At the game's finale, in the [[Moon Kingdom]], a few Lochladies can be found in attendance of the wedding between [[Bowser]] and [[Princess Peach]]. Like other attending members, they were brought forcefully. After beating the game, they can be found at the entrance of the Moon Kingdom near the [[Odyssey]], and in the start of [[Darker Side]].

 

Like many of the supporting characters, Lochladies will cower and refuse to talk to Mario if an enemy gets too close to them, regardless whether Mario has captured the enemy in question or not.  One exception is an unnamed Lochlady who gives Mario a [[Power Moon]] if he approaches her while he is a [[Cheep Cheep]].

The Lochladies were designed as fashion designers, following the motif of the mermaid.<ref name="concept">[https://twitter.com/mario_odysseyJP/status/997229522205495296 Post about the sketch of the lochladies from the official Japanese ''Super Mario Odyssey'' Twitter account]. Retrieved May 18, 2018.</ref> Their facial expression were designed so they had a certain charm to them, and another peculiar feature of the design are the sequins of the dresses that resemble scales.<ref name="concept"/> They also visually resemble {{wp|Amabie}}, a mermaid-like creature in Japanese folklore.
