'''Little Mouser''' is a [[List of characters|character]] in ''[[Paper Mario]]''. An inhabitant of [[Dry Dry Desert (Paper Mario)|Dry Dry Desert]], Little Mouser is a [[Little Mouser#Paper Mario|Nomadimouse]] and the owner of [[Little Mouser's Shop]]. He is also a member of [[Moustafa]]'s unnamed organization. He is purple, and as such resembles Little Mousers' original artwork.

When [[Mario]] and his partners enter [[Dry Dry Outpost]] in Chapter 2, Little Mouser can be seen temporarily closing his shop and running quickly to Sheek, or [[Moustafa]] in disguise. When approached, he rushes back to his shop and re-opens it. Mario needs to buy first a [[Dried Mushroom|Dried Shroom]] and then a [[Dusty Hammer]] to show his "membership" of Moustafa's group. After this, Little Mouser tells him to go to the highest point in Dry Dry Outpost to find Moustafa.

Later in the game, Little Mouser is involved in two sidequests: [[List of letters in Paper Mario#Normal Letters|letter delivery]] and [[Koopa Koot]]'s favor. One long chain of letters with [[Parakarry]] involves delivering a letter from [[Miss T.]] to Little Mouser. After receiving it, Little Mouser will reveal it is an order for various beauty products and that Miss T. is one of his best customers. Little Mouser then asks them to deliver his letter to [[Franky]] in [[Boo's Mansion]]. Additionally, one of Koopa Koot's favors involves obtaining a [[Red Jar]] from Little Mouser, who will give Mario the artifact if he purchases a Dusty Hammer, some [[Dried Pasta]], another Dusty Hammer and a Dried Shroom, in that order, from his shop.

After [[Bowser]] is beaten by Mario, Little Mouser can be seen alongside Moustafa at the festival in [[Toad Town]] celebrating the [[Koopa Troop]]'s defeat.

==Profiles==
*'''[[Tattle]]:''' "''He runs the shop here in Dry Dry Outpost. I don't know... He acts kind of strange. Is he nervous...? Well, he may be suspicious, but he still runs the shop. His stock seems to be made up of pretty normal stuff. I think it's normal...''"

==Notes==
*He is completely unnamed in the Japanese version of the game. His letter description refers to him as 店のしゅじん (''Mise no shujin'', store owner), while Little Mouser's Shop is known as チューチューショップ (''Chūchū Shoppu'', Squeak Shop, with a variation of this name later being used for the [[Lovely Howz of Badges]]).
*It is possible to obtain both the [[Red Jar]] and access to Moustafa at any point when Little Mouser's shop is available, simply by purchasing the items in the correct order. This allows the player to meet Moustafa without talking to Sheek (and learning the secret order from him) and obtain the [[Red Jar]] before Koopa Koot asks Mario to get it for him.
