'''Bonneters''',<ref>[[Cap Kingdom#Brochure details|In-game brochure for Bonneton]]</ref> or '''Courteous Bonneters''',<ref name=SMOArt>Kazuya Sakai (ed.). ''[[The Art of Super Mario Odyssey]]''. First English Edition. Translated by {{wp|TransPerfect}}. Milwaukie: {{wp|Dark Horse Comics|Dark Horse}}, 2019. page 067. ISBN: 978-1-50671-375-5.</ref> are a race of ghostly hat-like beings found in the region of [[Bonneton]] within the [[Cap Kingdom]] of ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]''. They all have [[Eerie]]-like bodies, heads shaped like hats, and big eyes with irises of various colors. As demonstrated by [[Cappy]], they can also take on the appearances of other hats, such as the [[Mario Cap]], and [[capture]] other beings, both animate or inanimate. Male Bonneters have top hat-shaped heads with a more pronounced eyebrow ridge, while female Bonneters have cloche hat-shaped heads with ribbons and wingtip eyelashes. Cappy and his sister, [[Tiara]], are shaped like a white top hat and a tiara, respectively.

There are two recurring groups of [[Power Moon]]s involving Bonneters after the player completes [[Bowser's Moon Wedding]]:
*The first set of Power Moons have instances in the [[Sand Kingdom]], [[Metro Kingdom]], [[Snow Kingdom]], [[Luncheon Kingdom]], and [[Mushroom Kingdom (Super Mario Odyssey)|Mushroom Kingdom]], and all of them start with the phrase "Hat-and-Seek:" These Power Moons are given out by a Bonneter hiding out as hats on a resident of that Kingdom. Their friend or friends have lost track of them when they were traveling and are worried. The Bonneter's eyes are visible from the back of the character's hat, and the player is able to initiate a conversation with that character when they normally cannot. Each time, the Bonneter gives [[Mario]] a Power Moon after chatting, asking him not to tell their friend or friends. The Metro Kingdom has a second Power Moon provided this way, with a second Bonneter, only available after breaking that kingdom's [[Moon Rock]]. Collecting five out of the six Power Moons of this group unlocks the "[[List of Power Moons in the Mushroom Kingdom#Hat-Seeking Missile|Hat-Seeking Missile]]" achievement when Mario next speaks to [[Toadette]].
*The second set of Power Moons involves a [[Bonneter biologist]] who appears in the [[Wooded Kingdom]], the [[Lost Kingdom]], the Snow Kingdom, and [[Bowser's Kingdom]]. He wishes to see an [[Uproot]], [[Tropical Wiggler]], [[Snow Cheep Cheep]], or [[Pokio]], respectively, so that he can study that enemy. The player has to approach him while capturing that enemy. Afterward, they give Mario a Power Moon. The names of these Power Moons all start with "I Met a..." and end on the name of the enemy. (There is a [[Lochlady]] to wants to see a [[Lake Cheep Cheep]] in the [[Lake Kingdom]]. She provides a Power Moon of this group using the same mechanic.)

Bonneters operate a [[Crazy Cap]] store in the nearby [[Cascade Kingdom]], being one of the three races to do so in kingdoms other than their own. The Bonneters of Crazy Cap stores have eyes colored to match their role in the store, so the one with the yellow hats have yellow eyes and the one with the purple hats has purple eyes.

Like many of the supporting characters, Bonneters will cower and refuse to talk to Mario if an enemy gets too close to them. This occurs even if Mario has captured the enemy.

==Trivia==
*The Bonneters resemble and share similarities to tsukumogami, a type of youkai from Japanese folklore.<ref>The Game Theorists (November 2, 2017). [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IrRW8JHxEss Super Mario Odyssey: The DARK Truth Behind Cappy! | Culture Shock]. ''YouTube''. Retrieved January 8, 2018.</ref>
*According to ''[[The Art of Super Mario Odyssey]]'', developers advanced an idea that Bowser was going to be assisted by an evil Bonneter serving as a villainous version of Cappy, allowing him to capture other characters and objects like Mario, but on later iterations of this idea, this character was replaced with a robotic top hat equipped with mechanical boxing gloves in the final game. The [[:File:Peach Bowser Concept TAoSMO.jpg|original concept for the game's final boss battle]] involved him capturing [[Princess Peach]] and the two transforming into a Bowser-Peach hybrid.
