- —Pungent, Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door
Pungent is the shopkeeper of Pungent's Great Tree Shop inside the Great Tree in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. His name is based on the word "pungent", meaning "affecting the senses to a great extent". Furthermore, "gent" is the abbreviated form of "gentleman", which might be a reference to his mustache. He is also the only Puni with visible facial hair. During the X-Naut invasion of the Great Tree, Pungent is one of the few Punies not to be captured by them. He hid in his shop until the entrance is uncovered by Mario's ally Flurrie. Recognizing Mario was there to help, Pungent aids him by selling him rare items.
Pungry, who camouflaged the entrance to Pungent's shop, is apparently friends with him and likes to hang out inside his shop.
