'''Buzzar''' is an optional boss encountered in ''[[Paper Mario]]''. He is a large vulture that resides in a nest at the end of [[Mt. Rugged]] with a brood of eggs. Buzzar's name comes from "buzzard," a term used to refer to North American vultures. He speaks with an American Southern accent, using words like "yer" instead of "you're." In the German version of the game, he speaks with a Bavarian accent.

==History==
===''Paper Mario''===
[[Bowser]] hired Buzzar to stop [[Mario]] from crossing Mt. Rugged's bridge. In [[Paper Mario#Chapter 2: The Mystery of Dry, Dry Ruins|Chapter 2]], each time Mario attempts to cross, Buzzar stops Mario for questioning. Mario can claim to be himself, [[Princess Peach]] or [[Luigi]]. If Mario is honest, Buzzar attacks him and a battle commences; if Mario says he is Princess Peach, Buzzar scoffs at the notion and attacks him anyway. However, if Mario claims to be Luigi, Buzzar is not sure of his identity and looks to the bounty poster for a moment. Ultimately, he lets Mario pass, due to taking Bowser's orders literally and not wanting to risk stopping someone else by accident. This can be done as many times as the player likes.

If battled, Buzzar has a variety of attacks he can use. Most of the attacks deal a relatively large amount of damage compared to other enemies at that point in the game; they are also fairly difficult to block. He can attack by swooping down baring his claws, shooting his own feathers, and picking up Mario to slam him down. He can also flap his wings to make a huge gust of wind; the player must tap {{button|N64|A}} quickly and repeatedly to fill the meter to minimize damage. The wind attack also affects Mario's [[party member|partner]], so if it is not minimized, the partner will be knocked out for a number of turns equal to the damage received.

After the player defeats Buzzar, he flees over the edge of the mountain and is not seen for the rest of the game. Regardless of whether he is fought or not, Buzzar is seen in the ending credits, at which points his chicks are shown hatching from their eggs.

===''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door''===
Buzzar is briefly mentioned in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'' when Mario reads [[Lumpy]]'s diary; the entrepreneur once traveled to Mt. Rugged, and had his backpack stolen by Buzzar. The diary entry refers to Buzzar as "it."
