Cookatiel



Cookatiel is an antagonist and boss in Super Mario Odyssey. She takes over the Luncheon Kingdom to steal the Stupendous Stew from Mount Volbono.

Appearance
Cookatiel is a large pink cockatiel with a chef hat, a red neckerchief, and white square-shaped feathers on her waist and wings arranged to resemble a chef coat. She also has a waddle, a feature commonly associated with poultry. Her orange eyes are crossed, with their position only changing as she moves, similar to googly eyes.

History
During Bowser's wedding plans to Peach, he sent his minions to the Luncheon Kingdom for them to take control of Mount Volbono's giant pot of Stupendous Stew. Mario manages to defeat the Broodals, but by then Cookatiel arrives and takes the pot under her custody.

Cookatiel is first encountered when Mario captures a giant steak, which grabs her attention and is grabbed to the top of the stew pot. After Mario grabs a Multi-Moon, Cookatiel spots him and attempts to blow him away, only for the volcano to erupt and blast Mario away. Later, Mario is able to make it back to the pot using a captured Lava Bubble through a cannon to engage in battle against Cookatiel.

Cookatiel spits out various fruits into the stew pot to crush Mario, including peppers and durians, the latter of which float for a few seconds. She eventually gushes out a pink liquid that Mario can travel up while avoiding durians to hit Cookatiel. After each hit, Cookatiel changes the way she gushes out the liquid, zigzagged after the first and in small bursts after the second. After three hits, Cookatiel falls into the stew and explodes, revealing a Multi-Moon.

In the Mushroom Kingdom rematch, the fight remains the same with the exception of three moonsnakes in the stew that Mario must avoid.

Trivia

 * Cookatiel's name is a pun on "Cook" and "Cockatiel".
