—Merfle, Wario Land: Shake It!

The Merfles are a species that appear in Wario Land: Shake It!. They are the residents of the Shake Dimension, living under the rule of Queen Merelda. However, when the Shake King took over the Shake Dimension, he imprisoned all but one of the Merfles inside a cage called a Merfle Barrel. The escaped Merfle begs Wario to help his people.

In most cases, they also act as guides after that to help Wario race back to the said level's entrance before the timer hits zero.

They come in a variety of different colors including blue, yellow, brown, black, white, purple, and turquoise. One singular green Merfle appears in the game; he is the escaped Merfle that tells Wario of the Shake King's attack on the Shake Dimension.
