- “I wonder where ourLochlady Dress is. I hope whoever wears it looks good enough in it to justify our heartache...”
- —Lochlady,Super Mario Odyssey
Lochladies aremermaid-like creatures found in the region ofLake Lamode within theLake Kingdom ofSuper Mario Odyssey. They are found in blue, red, and silver color schemes. Each of them wear a kelp headdress and a pair of golden bracelets. No male counterpart to the Lochladies appears to exist; however, according toThe Art of Super Mario Odyssey, male counterparts known as "Mermen" were originally going to appear to populate Lake Lamode within the Lake Kingdom but were replaced withBubblainians in the final game.[1] Lochladies are known for their strength and flexibility, which lend to their professions as accomplished designers.[2]
At the game's finale, in theMoon Kingdom, a few Lochladies can be found in attendance of the wedding betweenBowser andPrincess Peach. Like other attending members, they were brought forcefully. After beating the game, they can be found at the entrance of the Moon Kingdom near theOdyssey, and in the start ofDarker Side.
Like many of the supporting characters, Lochladies will cower and refuse to talk to Mario if an enemy gets too close to them, regardless whether Mario has captured the enemy in question or not. One exception is an unnamed Lochlady who gives Mario aPower Moon if he approaches her while he is aCheep Cheep.
Concept and creation[edit]
The Lochladies were designed as fashion designers, following the motif of the mermaid.[3] Their facial expression were designed so they had a certain charm to them, and another peculiar feature of the design are the sequins of the dresses that resemble scales.[3] They also visually resembleAmabie, a mermaid-like creature in Japanese folklore.
