Thaio

Thaio, often mistakenly referred to as Thaios, is a recurring villain across several video game franchises. He is oftentimes classified as a sub-protagonist, assisting the heroes but harboring a deep desire to be the primary hero of the adventure. Thaio has a unique, unexplained ability to travel to various game franchises and take part in their adventures, including games in the Mario, Kirby, and even Miitopia franchises.
Thaio is characterized by his unique species—an octopus with a spectral quality, presenting a ghostly and enigmatic persona. This distinctive trait contributes to his mystique, making him a memorable and intriguing figure. Oftentimes, his ghostly nature goes undetected due to his overall persona being purple.
==Personality==
Thaio evidently has a remarkably short fuse, and can be unrestrainedly set off by the slightest minor offense. The most common tantrum he throws occurs when his name is innocently and slightly mispronounced. Those around him occasionally slip and refer to him as "Thaios" instead of "Thaio" without the "s". Even though this s was added with no malice intended, Thaio would get irrepressibly upset and throw a comic-relief temper tantrum for a full two and a half minutes.
Thaio has a desire to serve justice in whatever capacity he can. He wishes to be a true, undeniable hero, rescuing a princess or saving the planet like his fellow heroes Mario or Kirby or even you. Pairing this desire with his quick temper has led to several disasters, however. He has never personally led a heroic adventure, likely due to his naturally horrifying and villainous physical appearance and generally angry vibe.
Playing sidekick to a bigger hero works for him until he is referred to as Thaios, at which point he abandons the party until a later point in the journey when he launches an all-out attack on the heroes. In every appearance he has had thus far, he takes on the role of a major late-game boss, and even played the final boss in a "surprise" twist in his latest entry.
==Trivia==
*Thaio was originally a bug in the programming of Miitopia. He would briefly appear when the Miis lost a battle, though his appearance was completely unintended and was almost immediately patched. Eagle-eyed indie game developers noticed their new icon and began fleshing out his character.
*Thaio's powers and general fighting ability are entirely unknown, despite his generally threatening personality.
*What follows is the original text of Thaio's article, preserved for posterity.
