'''Madam Merlar''' is [[Merlon]]'s deceased ancestor who appears in the game ''[[Paper Mario]]''. She exists as a spirit in a hidden room in [[Shiver Mountain]]. The wall to her room is just an illusion; Mario can walk right through it.  Madam Merlar is a messenger of the [[Star (species)|Stars]] and she knows the secret of the [[Crystal Palace]]. Her role is to help [[Mario]] reach the entrance of the palace by giving him the [[Star Stone]]. Merlar shares the Merlon clan's "ability" to tell long-winded, drawn-out stories that can put Mario into a lengthy sleep.

After the stairs to Crystal Palace arise, Madam Merlar's room will be blocked off for the remainder of the game. However, Merlar is present in ''Paper Mario''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s ending parade, where she performs magical effects alongside her relatives.

==Trivia==
*Madam Merlar's name would appear to be a portmanteau of "Merlon" (or perhaps "[[Wikipedia:Merlin|Merlin]]") and "[[star]]," though it may just be a simple corruption of "Merlon."
*Madam Merlar is one of the two ancestors of Merlon who is a spirit, the other being [[Merlumina]], who is very similar to her.
