Admiral Scuttle Bones

Once named Admiral Alfred III, he is a dry yoshi who was a well respected member of the Mushroom Kingdom Naval Force (or MKNF for short). When he was alive, he and his troops were quite famous for combating Bowser's forces up one day when their entire ship was sunk by a surprise attack by torpedo teds. Everyone on board unfortunately drowned, never to be seen again. All except for the admiral, who was revived by Bowser himself for the sole purpose of doing his bidding. However, due his hatred of Bowser and everything he stood for, he stole one of the airships to use as a boat and left as soon as he could. Nowadays, he can found wandering the seas, taking on the name of Scuttle Bones.

Despite his rugged appearance, he is actually fairly harmless and will often go on and on about his glory days when given the chance. Though, he isn't nearly as friendly towards Mario enemies (goombas, koopas, etc) due to his prior history with them.

Design note: he is partially blind on his right eye
