Screamy
- “...I'm Screamy. I wonder what future is plotted for us by he who holds the compass... For I must deliver something...”
- —Screamy, Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door
Screamy is one of Luigi's partners in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. Luigi met Screamy while looking for a piece of the Marvelous Compass in Rapturous Ruins. It is still unknown why or how Screamy joined up with Luigi as Luigi does not say and all Screamy says is "I must deliver something". It is unknown what species Screamy is, although his name and appearance invoke a scoop of ice cream, in keeping with the dessert theme of Luigi's adventure.
Brown Screamy-like creatures and their dark versions were originally going to appear as enemies, but were removed from the final version. These creatures may be prototype designs for Smorgs, as they are referred to as "moa" in the coding. This is further supported by the file dates, including the fact that the final Smorg design was labeled as "new_moa".[1]
