“One of the Star Kids seems to be playing hide-and-seek. You haven't seen him, have you?”

—Frost T., Paper Mario

Frost T. is a green-spotted Toad and inhabitant of Starborn Valley who appears in the game Paper Mario. Frost T.'s name is a pun on the word "frosty", a reference to the fact that he lives in Starborn Valley, which is located in the freezing Shiver Region.

Frost T. first appears in Paper Mario in the intro of the game, where he can be seen talking to Russ T. at the party being held in Peach's Castle. Mayor Penguin of Shiver City, who is also attending the party, will mention when spoken to that he had to travelled to Princess Peach's Castle with Frost T., and that the two of them plan to return to the Shiver Region together.

Later, Frost T. is mentioned after Mario and his partners drive havoc causing Shy Guys out of Toad Town. If Mario goes to the Toad Town Post Office, he can find a letter for his partner Parakarry from Frost T. In his letter, Frost T. writes a thank you to Parakarry for delivering the mail his family sends him to the frigid valley he lives and works in, saying his "heart leaps with joy every time he hears the sound of Parakarry’s wings".

Later in Paper Mario, Frost T.'s nephew, Mini T., has Mario send him a letter in Starborn Valley. If Mario and Parakarry deliver Frost T. his letter he will, after mentioning his family, give Mario and Parakarry a letter to give to Goompapa.

• "This Toad is taking care of the Star Kids. Some people say that taking care of kids is like fighting a war every day. I think these Star Kids are OK, though. I'm sure they're grateful for their baby-sitter's hard work."
