[[Image:Merle.png|thumb|250px|Mario and [[Lakilester]] in '''Merle''''s home.]]
'''Merle''' is [[Merlon]]'s son and [[Merluvlee]]'s, [[Merlow]]'s, and [[Merlee]]'s father. He lives in [[Starborn Valley]] and, along with the [[Ninji|Ninjis]] and certain [[Toad (species)|Toads]], watches over the [[Star Kid]]s until they are old enough to enter [[Star Haven]]. However, during the events of ''[[Paper Mario]]'', Star Kids could not ascend because of the trouble [[Bowser]] caused in Star Haven. Merle provides [[Mario]] and his comrades the [[Scarf]], one of the keys to unlock the door to [[Shiver Mountain]], helping Mario and company in their quest to vanquish Bowser and his minions.  The aforementioned quote is a riddle Merle recalled which was imperative to Mario finding [[Madam Merlar]].

==Area Tattles==
He's Merle, the person who controls this valley. He's the one who called you. He's the son of Merlon. That means...Merle must be the father of the fortune-tellers Merluvlee and Merlow.

==Trivia==
*"[[Wikipedia:Merle|Merle]]" is an actual word with several varying meanings, though Merle's name would appear to have been derived from a simple corruption of either "Merlon" or "[[Wikipedia:Merlin|Merlin]]."

-During the events of ''[[Paper Mario]]'', Star Kids could not ascend because of the trouble [[Bowser]] caused in Star Haven. Merle helps Mario and his partner in their quest to vanquish Bowser and his minions by providing them the [[Scarf]], one of the two keys to unlocking the door to [[Shiver Mountain]] and the [[Crystal Palace]] (the other being a [[Bucket (Paper Mario)|Bucket]], provided by [[Mayor Penguin]] in [[Shiver City]] a little later). The aforementioned quote is a riddle Merle recalled which is imperative to Mario finding [[Merlumina|Madam Merlar]], ancestor of Merle and Merlon.
