Merle is a character who appears in Paper Mario. He is Merlon's son who lives along with the Ninjis and Star Kids at Starborn Valley. As revealed by Goombario, he is also the father of Merluvlee and Merlow.

Appearance[]

Merle greatly resembles his father Merlon except that his beard is yellow in color instead of white.

History[]

After hearing about Mario's quest to find the Star Spirits, Merle sends a Ninji out to him to invite him to Starborn Valley. Merle eventually meets up with Mario and explains the Star Kids actions earlier. Merle then tells a story to Mario before giving him the Bucket which is needed with another item to get to the Crystal Palace. Merle then recommends Mario to speak with Mayor Penguin for the other item.

Goombario's Tattle[]

He's Merle, the person who controls this valley. He's the one who called

you. He's the son of Merlon.

That means...
Merle must be the father of the fortune-tellers Merluvlee and Merlow.
