- “Don't get a swelled head! This doesn't mean I'll accept you as our leader...”
- —Puniper, Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door
Puniper is a fat Puni that lives in The Great Tree in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. He doubts Mario's skills as a hero at first but eventually he sees Mario as a good leader. He does not help in the game and will not support Mario untill afterwards.
Goombella's tattle for him is: That's Puniper of the Punies. He sure is big for a Puni. Too bad his head is big too!
Trivia
- The real game's tattle mispells "Puni" as "Puny".
