'''Ishnail''' is a snail-like creature who is the leader of the [[Robbo Thieves]] and the rival of [[Don Pianta]] in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. His name is a play on {{wp|Ishmael}} and "snail". He is the second ''[[Paper Mario (series)|Paper Mario]]'' character whose name is a reference to Ishmael, the first being [[Fishmael]] from ''[[Paper Mario]]''.


Ishnail's base of operations can be found on the east side of [[Rogueport]]. Under his influence, the east side is far less secure than the West. It is unkempt, dirty, and serves as a hiding place for many bandits. His guard [[Gus]] even demands money for entering the further part of the east side. The west side is, on the contrary, rather secure and clean.
'''Ishnail''' is a snail-like creature who is the leader of the [[Robbo Gang]] and the rival of [[Don Pianta]] in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. His name is a play on the main character of ''[[wikipedia:Moby-Dick|Moby-Dick]]'', [[wikipedia:Ishmael (Moby-Dick)|Ishmael]], and "snail". He is the second ''[[Paper Mario (series)|Paper Mario]]'' character whose name is a reference to Ishmael, the first being [[Fishmael]] from ''[[Paper Mario]]''.


For 64 [[coin]]s (a reference to the [[Nintendo 64]]), Ishnail informs Mario that he needs to buy a [[Dried Mushroom]], followed by a [[Dizzy Dial]], in [[Peeka]]'s [[Westside Goods|shop]], a secret sign known only to friends of Don Pianta. He then tells Mario to answer "Yellow" when asked what his favorite color is. It is possible to avoid paying Ishnail if the player knows these instructions.

==Tattle==
*"''That's Ishnail, leader of the thief band called the Robbos. He REALLY hates Don Pianta. I guess that's to be expected, since they're bitter rivals and everything. He's got some issues about money, but he's OK otherwise. Who knew?''"


==Names in other languages==
