Puniper is an obese Puni that lives in the Great Tree in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. He doubts Mario's skills as a hero at first but eventually he sees Mario as a good leader. He does not help initially and will not support Mario until he saves the Puni elder. Puniper's name is a portmanteau of "Puni" and "Juniper".
