Name: Emoglobin

Debut: Mario & Luigi: Bowser’s Inside Story

Have you ever wondered what’s in your body? It’s a question that has plagued mankind for centuries. There is, of course, no way of knowing for sure. Many have made educated guesses, like Osmosis Jones, or that obligatory cartoon episode where they become really tiny and travel inside someone’s body. But the closest scientists have ever come to an accurate depiction was, as we all know, 2009′s Bowser’s Inside Story! 

Emoglobins are cell-ish blocky things that show up all over Bowser’s body. If you hit them, they’ll give you tutorials! But don’t you worry- these aren’t your grandma’s boring, snoring tutorials: they’re funny tutorials! Emoglobins speak funny, you see! They replace random words with “globin”, add “-ish” to the end of adjectives, and refer to you with an O traveler, that kind of thing. And I can’t get enough of them! They’re just plain silly-ish!

As for what I said earlier... well, ignore that. Emoglobins are in fact based on something real: hemoglobins! Now, I’ve got absolutely no idea what I’m looking at here, but I took this image from Wikipedia, and I’m pretty sure that they look nothing like Emoglobins. They don’t exactly act like them either- these guys live in red blood cells and carry oxygen. But that’s okay! Globin is just a funny sounding word. Can we blame anyone for thinking so?

While that’s the basic Emoglobin covered, there are a number of Globin-ish NPCs found all over the game! So, what else? Under the cut! More Globin! More action! More drama!
