Xtra Info:
An old guy, who used to be a very successful delivery guy of some sort. Sadly, he was fired, and could not recover from it,
due to being 57, and incapable of finding a new job that would hire him. Ever since, he had to survive on the small amount of money he had left, which only lasted a few years. He's been living either in restuarants, or under cardboard boxs he can find. He's led quite the pathetic life lately, and has done nothing, except yell at anyone who passes him. He somehow gets around, and has been seen all over the place ! For an old hobo, this guy has become pretty famous, and half the pikmin world has seen him !
He's very rude, and gets satisfaction out of being a jerk to anyone who he sees, hence his name...
