| '''Fishmael''' is seen in ''[[Paper Mario]]'' fishing by the docks at the port and arguing with a [[Fuzzipede]]. [[Parakarry]] and [[Mario]] can deliver [[letter]]s between him and his fishing buddies, [[Goompapa]], [[Muss T.]], and [[Koover]]. He loves to fish and is always seen fishing in the ports of [[Toad Town]]. It is completely unknown what creature he is, although the fishing rod sticking out of his head resembles the antenna of an {{wp|anglerfish}} and his face is reminiscent of many cartoon fish. His name comes from {{wp|Ishmael (Moby-Dick)|Ishmael}}, the sailor/teacher from the famous 19th century novel ''{{wp|Moby-Dick}}'', whose name in turn comes from {{wp|Ishmael}}, the son of {{wp|Hagar}} and {{wp|Abraham}}. His name is also similar to the item "Fishmeal", a brown powder created when fish is processed. His name is revealed from the description of the [[letter]] addressed to him, but it is later mentioned again in a dialogue from the Fuzzipede after Chapter 6 is completed. In the Japanese version of the game, he is simply described as つりをしている人 (tsuri o shiteiru hito) in the description of the letter and つり人 (tsuribito) by Fuzzipede, both of which translate to "the fishing person". Goombario's [[Tattle]] does not include his name in either version. | |
