Mallow is a character in Super Mario RPG. He's the first character to join the player's party. While he is not very useful during the beginning of the game, he ends up becoming a powerful ally as the game progresses.

Mallow was found by Frogfucious, a sage in Mario's world. Mallow was raised to believe the he was a tadpole, despite the fact that he looks nothing like a tadpole. Later in the game, Mallow learns that he is not in fact a tadpole.

Mallow's basic attacks consist of either punching, bludgeoning weapons, or cymbals. Mallow's special attacks are based on things having to do with the sky, such as Thunderbolt and HP Rain.

Mallow has been in no other Nintendo games, but was in his own game called Mallow Madness. It was made by a companie called Ritches (spelling?) which was sued by Nintendo since the two Mallows were exactly the same.

(not sure where this goes, but the following was taken from the beginning of the last paragraph and separated here:

Mallow is also the family name of a French family that migrated to Great Britain in the 1700's, then to the United States in the 1800's.
