Larson – a pun on "larceny", an alternate term for "theft" – is a Bandit who defrauds Goomther with a fake credit card in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. As Goomther submits a request to the Trouble Center (Find this guy!), Larson begins hiding in the hidden alley of Rogueport alongside Darkly. Larson's dialogue is generally the same throughout the game, but after each chapter his ending phrase changes.

If the player takes Goomther's trouble, Mario and his partners have to chase Larson around Rogueport. He is first found in his normal spot, though he runs to Rogueport's harbor and its back alleys as the trouble progresses. After catching him for the third time, Goomther will appear to enact revenge upon him. In spite of this, Larson then resumes his position in Rogueport's hidden alley, continuing his crime-insinuating speeches.

Goombella has an alternate tattle for Larson when Mario catches him while taking on Goomther's trouble.

  • "Whoa! Mario, that's the guy! That's Larson, the thief that Goomther asked us to catch! So this is where he's been hiding! Let's nab him and get the reward! C'mon!"
