'''Tubba Blubba''' is a | '''Tubba Blubba''' is a giant, blue-colored Clubba with a spiked shell and no weapon (unlike the rest of his species), making him more like a [[Spike]] than a Clubba. He is a follower of [[Bowser]] who, despite his fearsome appearance, is actually very sensitive, frail, and cowardly. His nickname is "The Invincible Tubba Blubba", although he actually does have a weak point: [[Tubba Blubba's Heart|his heart]] (similar to [[Sluggy the Unshaven]] of ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]''). Tubba Blubba's name is a corruption of "tub of blubber" (indicating obesity) written in the style of the Clubba species' name. | ||

[[Lady Bow]] mentions that the [[Boo]] inhabitants of [[Boo's Mansion]] and [[Gusty Gulch]] used to enjoy scaring Tubba Blubba. However, when Bowser obtained the [[Star Rod (Paper Mario)|Star Rod]] and imprisoned the [[Star Spirits]], he made Tubba Blubba completely invulnerable by removing his [[Tubba's Heart|heart]] from his body, apparently leaving a crudely stitched patch where it once was, and appointed him as guard of the Star Spirit [[Skolar]]. No longer frightened by Boos, Tubba Blubba began steadily devouring all Boos he came across, ironically making them scared of him. | [[Lady Bow]] mentions that the [[Boo]] inhabitants of [[Boo's Mansion]] and [[Gusty Gulch]] used to enjoy scaring Tubba Blubba.

[[Mario]] arrives at Gusty Gulch right before one of Tubba Blubba's Boo-devouring excursions. Tubba Blubba does not notice Mario due to him using Lady Bow's [[Outta Sight]] technique to turn invisible. Later, when Mario sneaks into Tubba Blubba's bedroom to find out his weakness, he is awoken by [[Yakkey]], an anthropomorphic key which unlocks the door to the [[Windy Mill]], the storage place of Tubba Blubba's heart. Tubba Blubba chases Mario through the castle, but his progress is impeded by a group of Boos holding the castle doors shut. | [[Mario]] arrives at Gusty Gulch right before one of Tubba Blubba's Boo-devouring excursions.

Tubba Blubba shows weakness after being defeated by Mario and his allies, attempting to hold back tears and running back to his castle. He appears reserved, spending much of his time sleeping and nourishing himself on a diet of Boos.

He apparently employs or is in command of several Clubbas who, like him, enjoy dozing off into slumber when they aren't active. Tubba Blubba also has several [[Sentinel]]s patrolling the hallways. It is unknown if these were given to Tubba Blubba by Bowser or if they exist in the castle to ease Tubba Blubba's fear. | ||

Tubba Blubba apparently feels more powerful when separated from his heart, who controls him from a cave. Despite his new abilities, Tubba Blubba is still afraid of Bowser, and worries about upsetting him. With his heart, and according to several Boos in the game, he is very cowardly and sensitive. | |||
