Editing Merloo

[[Image:MerlooSPM.png|frame|right|'''Merloo'''.]]
'''Merloo''' is a member of the [[Tribe of Ancients]] who is indirectly seen in the form of a stained glass window in [[Mirror Hall]] of ''[[Super Paper Mario]]''. According to [[Tippi]], Merloo was very wise in his time and is even thought to be the author of the [[Light Prognosticus]]. (However, [[Merlon]] states that [[Merlumina]] is the Light Prognosticus's author; it is unknown who is the canonical writer.) Interestingly, unlike all other sages among the Ancients, Merloo possesses no current inhabitant of [[Flipside]] or [[Flopside]] who bears any direct resemblance to him, although some other "[[Shaman]]"-like characters of past [[Paper Mario (disambiguation)|''Paper Mario'' games]] (perhaps especially the [[Merlee]] of ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'') do look slightly similar to Merloo, who takes on the appearance of a mustache-less, green-robed character slightly resembling Merlon. It is also very interesting to note that Merloo is said to be a powerful, dimension-controlling magician; he therefore shares many skill-related characteristics with the villain [[Dimentio]], making him a possible relative candidate. (Merloo being related to Dimentio may further be implied by the fact that one of [[Carson]]'s stories vaguely suggests that Dimentio may have written the [[Dark Prognosticus]], much how Merloo wrote the Light one to counter it.) However, this is unconfirmed. It is much more likely that his modern-day descendant is the Dimention-Flipping wizard Bestovius.

He bears very minor resemblance to [[Toad]], though this may be coincidental.
