'''Charold''' is a character found in [[The Underwhere]] in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]''. He is based on [[wikipedia:Charon (mythology)|Charon]], the ferryman who, for a price, brings deceased souls across the river Styx to Hades in Greek Mythology. His name is a portmanteau of "Charon" and "Harold".

For a fee of four [[coin]]s, he will ferry the player across the [[River Twygz]]. Charold's job is stated by [[Tippi]] to be ferrying [[Shayde]]s over the river if they wish to visit [[Queen Jaydes]]. The number of 4 coins most likely is a reference to the number 4 being an unlucky number in Japanese lore, sounding quite similar to the word for death in Japanese.
