“Boy, and what's with these tanks full of Nibbles? Jeepers, that creeps me out...”
—Goombella,Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door

Nibbles areChain-Chomp-like fish that inhabit the waters ofRogueport and its surrounding regions inPaper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. IfMario falls in any body of water, a Nibbles will bite him, causing him tojump back to the same place he fell into the water and lose oneHP. These enemies cannot be battled. A few Nibbles can be seen inGrodus's room in theX-Naut Fortress, where they are in an aquarium surrounding most of the room. Nibbles are even found in swimming pools and fountains, and one appears in the lower right-hand corner of theMagical Map. The only exception isDoopliss's bath tub's water.

InSuper Paper Mario, two figurines of a Nibbles can be seen on a shelf inFort Francis, along with several other cameos of various characters, species, and items from the previous game.
