They are the newest recruit to the [[Rescue Corps]], sent to rescue them from a crash landing after trying to rescue [[Captain Olimar]] for the same reason. They, along with [[Oatchi]], are the only playable [[leaders]] in the game's [[Story Mode]]. Their ID card mentions they are from the planet [[Karut]], which cannot be changed or customized. Their appearance can also be altered mid-story after rescuing the [[castaway]] [[Puddle]]. | ||
