O'Chunks

“CHUNKS AWAY!”

—O'Chunks, Super Paper Mario

O'Chunks is a villain in the game, Super Paper Mario. He is the "biggest and brawniest" minion of Count Bleck. He was once the general of an army from a certain land (the name is not mentioned). He led a force of a thousand strong across the enemy lines. Unfortunately for him, one of his advisors sold him out and all of his men fell to the enemy (the enemy's name is not mentioned either). Count Bleck may have played upon his shame and depression to enlist him in his services.

He speaks with a stereotypical Scottish accent, and seems to be the least intelligent of Bleck's minions. Despite his strength, he is usually very easy to defeat. He is fought four times in the game.

When fought for the first time, O'Chunks will attempt to Ground Pound, shoulder-ram and toss Mario. Every time he successfully tosses the plumber, despite only one damage being done, he performs an amusing victory dance. He had twenty HP in this battle.

After the first battle, O'Chucks mistakes Mario's name for Maria. Interestingly enough, when O'Chunks throws Princess Peach, he merely tosses her sans the spinning and victory pose.

He is not encountered again until Chapter 5. In 5-2, he attacks the heroes, but loses once again. He asks them to finish him off because he failed the count, but Dimentio then appears, offering him a chance at redemption. O'Chunks is fought again in 5-4, this time brainwashed by a Floro Sprout. He randomly shouts out the names of vegetables in this form, which Dimentio nicknamed O'Cabbage.

O'Chunks is fought for a fourth and final time in Castle Bleck. Here, he faces off against Bowser in a one-on-one fight as the bigger Super O'Chunks. When he loses, the ceiling starts to collapse. O'Chunks, however, holds it up, out of honor for Mario's party. Bowser helps him, but the ceiling presumably crushes them both.

However, it is revealed that he survived when he appears to support Count Bleck in Dimension D. He and Mimi give the count and Tippi enough hope to restore the Pure Hearts, thus helping to defeat Super Dimentio.

After the game is completed, he may be found on the third floor of Flipside, searching for Nastasia (ironically enough, she's in the exact same place in Flopside).

It is hinted several times that he might have a crush on Nastasia.

• Tattle: That's O'Chunks. He's a big, bearded warrior of a man... Max HP is 20 and Attack is 1. He can grab you by the feet and hurl you... If you're in reach, he'll toss you, so keep your distance... But you can turn the tables on him and use Thoreau to send him flying...

Trivia
