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

Nibbles are Chain-Chomp-like fish that inhabit the waters of Rogueport and its surrounding regions in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door . If Mario falls in any body of water, a Nibbles will bite him, causing him to jump back to the same place he fell into the water and lose one HP. These enemies cannot be battled. A few Nibbles can be seen in Grodus's room in the X-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 the Magical Map. The only exception is Doopliss's bath tub's water.

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