'''O'Chunks''' is one of the main villains in the game ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'' and a minion of [[Count Bleck]]. He is fought a total of four times in the game, making him the most encountered boss in the game. He speaks with an exaggerated Scottish accent and his bushy ginger beard and eagerness to brawl are both Scottish stereotypes. However, the fact that his name begins with "O'" is an Irish tradition. Other translations use the Scottish patronym "Mc" instead. In the Italian version, he has a stereotypical Roman accent, and in the Spanish version, he speaks with a strong Andalusian accent. According to [[The InterNed]], his theme is called "O'Chunks, Warrior", and his battle theme is "Ready, GO!"

==History==
==History==
===Background===
===Background===
O'Chunks was once the general of an army from a certain land (the name of which is not mentioned). He was able to successfully lead a squadron of one thousand troops across enemy lines. Unfortunately for him, one of his advisors sold him out and all of his men fell to enemy forces as a result. Count Bleck may have played upon his shame and depression to enlist him into his service, given that [[Carson]] claimed that Bleck made O'Chunks feel gradually worse until he finally pledged allegiance to Count Bleck, though he legitimately appreciates his loyalty.

Count Bleck may have played upon his shame and depression to enlist him into his service, given that [[Carson]] claimed that Bleck made O'Chunks feel gradually worse until he finally pledged allegiance to Count Bleck, though he legitimately appreciates his loyalty. In the Japanese version, Count Bleck instead saved his life after he was betrayed, making Bleck a lot less cruel, and making O'Chunks' backstory similar to [[Nastasia]], who was also saved by Count Bleck.

===Personality===
===Personality===
O'Chunks is rather dimwitted and also has an eagerness to fight. He is very loyal to Count Bleck and will do anything to prove himself. He is shown to love Nastasia, but while she does not spurn his affection, she is in love with her boss instead. He is also shown to have a sense of honor, shown when he holds up the falling ceiling in Castle Bleck to save the heroes. O'Chunks is sometimes slow to comprehend things, such as when it took him a bit to realize that the Hero of Light was Count Bleck's enemy. When brainwashed by [[Dimentio]], he becomes very zombie-like and can only shout out the names of vegetables. Whenever Mario is thrown by O'Chunks, he makes one of several boasting gestures towards him, surrounded by a red and black burst, suggesting that he is a show-off.

As stated above, if the player decides to face O’Chunks as Peach during his second fight, then he will not treat her as roughly, suggesting that he has a more chivalrous side.
