'''Grifty''' is a mysterious minstrel that hangs out on a roof in east [[Rogueport]] in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', who bears a resemblance to [[Moustafa]] from ''[[Paper Mario]]''. Over the course of the game, the player can pay him 5 [[coin]]s to have him recite bits and pieces of the Legend of the Four Heroes. This tale helps to explain the roots of the 1000 year-old evil that destroyed the area currently known as [[Rogueport]], as well as some other minor bits regarding other characters, like [[Cortez]], [[Hooktail]], and [[the Great Tree]]'s origin.

[[Garson]] and [[Carson]] of ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'' can be thought of as similar to him, as they, too, reveal parts of their game's plot that happened long before the setting of the game, although Garson and Carson have roles more similar to those of [[Wonky]].

It's also entirely possible that Grifty's tales are completely made up, given that his name, ''grifty'', is a word meaning "to obtain money through use of swindles, frauds, etc."
''Each tale is listed in the order in which they can be found on Grifty's list. The grammar may not be exactly as it was in the game due to the differences in format (the tales in the game, like all of its dialogue, are separated in word bubbles, but here they can be written together as actual passages).''

“Good afternoon to you, sir! I am called Grifty, the traveling minstrel. I spend my days here in leisure, spinning tales that spin the senses!”
—Grifty, Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door

Grifty is a mysterious minstrel that hangs out on a roof in east Rogueport in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, who bears a resemblance to Moustafa from Paper Mario. Over the course of the game, the player can pay him 5 coins to have him recite bits and pieces of the Legend of the Four Heroes. This tale helps to explain the roots of the 1000 year-old evil that destroyed the area currently known as Rogueport, as well as some other minor bits regarding other characters, like Cortez, Hooktail, and the Great Tree's origin.

List of tales[edit]

Grifty's location in Rogueport.

Each tale is listed in the order in which they can be found on Grifty's list. The grammar may not be exactly as it was in the game due to the differences in format (the tales in the game, like all of its dialogue, are separated in word bubbles, but here they can be written together as actual passages).

The Fearsome Demon[edit]

Ages ago, a city flourished here in peace and splendor… But it was destroyed in a single day by a demon from the dark beyond. Historians claim a great calamity befell the city, but nay… 'twas a demon. The city sank below ground, and one-quarter of the old city became the demon's den. This demon put fear into the hearts of all men and sent out minions to take the land. And its den, its palace, grew rich with the treasures stolen from all over the world.

The Crystal Stars[edit]

In order to increase its already formidable power… The demon created Crystal Stars to hold the essence of the heavens. One of these stars was placed in each country to exert the demon's influence (GCN) / These stars were scattered across the land, the better to exert the demon’s influence (Switch). One of the castles built to contain these stars still stands near Petal Meadows.

Dragons and Dungeons[edit]

The demon built a dungeon near its palace and filled it with terrifying monsters… All those who fell into disfavor were thrown into this dungeon to rot… Yea, and the demon also had three dragon pets: Hooktail, Gloomtail, and Bonetail. These dragons flew across the land, spreading fear and sorrow over all. Even now, the mere mention of a dragon is enough to give some the terrors… (GCN) / The dragons’ remains have never been found, and even now, some nervously wonder if they still live… (Switch)

The Hero Who Arose[edit]

One day, there came a hero who could vanquish the fell demon. The young Toad from Petal Meadows was strong of arm, but shy of voice… All those around the boy teased him endlessly about the way he spoke. But when the demon cast its fearful gaze across the lands and reached out… The young Toad used his strength and honor to defend his people. And he became a hero to all, despite his odd voice.

The Wise Goomba[edit]

There was a wise Goomba from Boggly Woods gifted in knowledge of the world. When beasts rose to take the woods, this knowledge helped the people fight them. And this Goomba, who knew the way that every monster would attack… She began to think of a way to banish all monsters from the land…

The Stalwart Koopa[edit]

A Koopa who traveled the world alone learned of the darkness covering the land… He went alone wherever evil dwelt, and banished it with shell and sheer bravado. The monsters grew to fear this scar-riddled Koopa who thwarted them at every turn. But the brave Koopa was finally taken in a trap set for him by the monsters. But then, a Boo who fought with the monsters came and used her magic to free him. The brave Koopa's spirit had melted the heart of the cold Boo lass…

The Four Heroes[edit]

The Boo used her powerful magic to learn more about the evil they faced… "We cannot destroy this darkness alone," she decided, her face a grim mask. "We need the Toad hero of Petal Meadows and the wise Goomba of Boggly Woods." The Boo's magic drew the four heroes together to send the demon from the world. And so, the four heroes finally set out for the Palace of Shadow…

The Duel With the Demon[edit]

The power of the world-devouring demon was greater than any could imagine… But the wise Goomba soon realized that this was the power of the Crystal Stars… She thought of a way to take the stars and use them against the demon. She told the other heroes her plan and set it in motion, banishing their fears. The Boo's magic and the Toad's strength created a gap in the demon's defenses… At that moment, the brave Koopa seized the stars… And succeeded in badly damaging the demon…

The Demon Sealed Within[edit]

But even the brave Koopa's stroke was not enough to end the demon's reign… The wise Goomba thought of another use for the Crystal Stars in that dire hour… She suggested sealing the demon forever with the Crystal Stars. All agreed. The heroes matched their strengths with the power of the Crystal Stars… And they successfully sealed the demon's soul within the deepest part of the palace. Together, they made it so that only all seven stars could break the seal…

The Demon's Curse[edit]

The four heroes thought they had sealed away the demon and all of its powers… But the demon used a tiny opening before the seal was complete to curse them all. While holding the Crystal Stars, they'd feel nothing, but when they let them go… A black box (GCN) / black chest (Switch) would appear to seal their souls within. The four heroes traveled the world, scattering the stars so the seal would remain. But the last four stars each carried the curse, which claimed each hero…

The Great Tree and Punies[edit]

The hiding places of many of the Crystal Stars have now faded into legend. But some say that the wise Goomba hid one in the Great Tree. At that time, many monsters wandered in the nearby Boggly Woods. The tiny Punies were always tormented by their fierce appetites, it was said (GCN) / The tiny Punies living in the woods were constantly tormented by the fierce monsters (Switch). Pitying them, the Goomba hollowed out the Great Tree for the Punies to live in. The Punies were so grateful that they swore to protect the Crystal Star there…

The Boo Heroine's Last Days[edit]

Once the Boo heroine hid her star in a steeple, she was trapped in the nearby town… Some say the Crystal Star lies in that steeple still…

The Pirate King Cortez[edit]

The Koopa hero went to a southern isle to hide his star where none would find it. But the Koopa was so tired from his journey that the pirate Cortez stole it easily. In that very instant, the Koopa was trapped in an inescapable chest. But Cortez did not realize the power of the star and lost it among his treasures…

The Toad Hero's Final Days[edit]

The strong Toad held his star and continued his arduous journey. But eventually the miles took their toll upon him, and he collapsed. A traveling healer happened by and saved his life… But the Toad knew his fate was to be trapped in the box (GCN) / chest (Switch) when the star was gone… So he asked this healer to hide the star in a secret place known to no one…
