'''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".
