Zaliente

Zaliente is a major character in the game Super Mario Expedition. Despite being a tiny octopus, he has an attitude and seeks to stop the dreaded King Kaliente from conquering the world.
==Appearance==
Zaliente is a tiny octopus with six tube-like tentacles and a tube-like snout, much like the other octopi of the Kaliente Kingdom. He tends to move around by jumping rather than walking, and can easily stick onto things with his tentacles.
==Personality==
Zaliente is known for being opportunistic. He seeks to use any tools at his disposal to achieve what he wants, and gets angry when things happen that he didn't plan for. He's selfish, reckless, and okay with manipulating others.
However, Zaliente has a habit of warming up to those that prove themselves to him. Despite his circumstances, he knows that allies are necessary.
==Relationships==
===King Kaliente===
Zaliente is known for his bitter opposition of King Kaliente, believing that he's an insidious dictator who has to pay for what he's done.
===Mario===
Zaliente initially called upon Mario due to hearing stories about him toppling Bowser's empire and leading to him surrendering, and so he hoped to produce the same effect within the Kaliente Kingdom, to the point where he stole the machine S.T.E.A.M. from a Gadd Science Inc. laboratory. Initially, Zaliente saw Mario as a tool of sorts, and even treated him a bit harshly. However, over time, the two of them grew close.
==Appearances==
===Super Mario Expedition===
Zaliente plays a major role in Super Mario Expedition as one of the characters travelling with Mario.
==Trivia==
*Zaliente's design is based on that of a scrapped model from Super Mario Galaxy labelled as "OtaJack" in the game files.
