“ | My name is Poo. I am the one who will fight beside you. I am the servant of Ness. I will obey Ness. Ness! My life is in your hands. | „ |
~ Poo pledging his loyalty to Ness before joining the party |
Background
Poo (プー Pū) is a character in MOTHER 2 (localized as EarthBound). As the Prince of Dalaam, he has undergone strict martial arts training, and is the third and final character to join Ness. He usually uses physical strength as his primary weapon, along with many powerful PSI spells. Poo undergoes a special diet, meaning he can't eat any regular food items and recovers few hit points from ingesting them. However, he can drink bottles of water to recover psychic points, and brain food lunches restore his HP more than they do any other character. Poo has a mirror ability, which allows him to become any enemy in the game during battles, with the notable exception of bosses.
Poo has very high physical stats and a wide variety of offensive and defensive PSI, but his drawback is that he can only equip items from the "of Kings" set. Poo cannot use any weapons except his fists and a weapon exclusive to his use, the Sword of Kings.
Poo is first introduced after Ness eats the Magic Cake, and he completes his training by meditation, which he maintains despite a spirit breaking various parts of his body. Poo then teleports to Summers and declares his allegiance to Ness. Poo is taken from the party after they come up from the exit of the Pyramid in Scaraba by the Star Master, who shows him the powerful PSI Starstorm α, which he uses to defeat Master Barf. Poo is a solemn dedicated warrior but is loyal to his friends and bringing peace to the world. Interestingly enough, Poo is very popular with the girls in Dalaam.

Powers and Techniques
Equipment
- Sword of Kings: A special sword obtained by defeating a Starman Super. It is Poo's only weapon, boosting his Offense by 30.
Notable Techniques
- PK Starstorm: The user summons a barrage of psychic stars to rain down upon all enemies and explode, dealing massive damage. It is not resisted by any enemies.
- PK Freeze: The user swirls a very cold wind around an opponent to inflict major damage. Has a 50% chance to completely solidify the target, preventing them from doing anything.
- PK Thunder The user fires a bolt of lightning that deals damage to random targets. Each successive level fires one additional lightning bolt. It is not resisted by any enemies but it is less accurate when there are less targets present to hit. Instantly destroys psychic shields.
- Lifeup: Heals himself and/or his allies. The Gamma level fully restores the health of the target and is very low cost.
- Healing: Removes status ailments depending on the level used. At the Omega level, it is able to cure colds, sunstroke, poison, nausea, strangeness, crying, diamondization, as well as being able to revive fallen allies back with all of their Hp.
- PSI Magnet: The user absorbs psychic power from a target to add to their own. The Omega level absorbs psychic power from all targets present.
- Shield: The user creates a shield that reduces the damage physical attacks and some non-PSI energy based attacks in half at the Alpha level and reflects 50% of the damage taken from enemy attacks back at the Beta level. When applied it provides three layers that can each take one attack, though he is able to stack more layers by using it multiple times. The shield is instantly destroyed by critical hits.
- Brainshock: Inflicts a target with strangeness, causing them to sometimes use their abilities on the wrong target, which includes allies. The Omega level can affect many targets at once. Strangeness lasts until the target is hit by a physical attack.
- Teleport: Allows teleportation to anywhere he has previously been.
- Mirror: The user concentrates and turns into a targeted enemy. Does not work on some enemies.
Other
Standard Tactics: Poo is physically the strongest of the chosen four and generally fights with the Sword of Kings, though he has access to powerful offensive PSI techniques such as PK Starstorm to devastate enemies with. In addition to his offensive capabilities, Poo is an effective healer, having access to both Lifeup and Healing. His main weakness is that he has less Pp than both Ness and Paula, meaning he can't use his PSI skills as liberally and must rely on PSI Magnet more.
Weaknesses
- PSI Weaknesses: PSI users need to concentrate in order to use their PSI[8].
- Unique Weaknesses: Using equipment outside of the kings set decreases his stats, thus he does not equip any of them. Heals only 6 Hp from eating anything besides brain food lunches. Has the lowest amount of Pp out of every PSI user in the series. Party members are unable to use each others weapons. Their astral forms are unable to interact with anything, where it's shown characters like Jeff being unconscious makes him unable to fix broken items as his conscious physical body is not there.
- Item Weaknesses: The Exit Mouse will unable to help the party if they have ordered a pizza, if they've put a For Sale sign, are getting delivery from the Escargo Express, etcetera. At times the Exit Mouse will not listen to the party or will fall fast asleep.
Note
- There is some conflict over whether or not MOTHER cast actually become genuine ghost or not, as the games at time makes mention that the characters are just unconscious along with the resurrection system in the game requires going to the hospital where they note the person has been unconscious in there, and thus some write it off as the ghost are not actually there but sprite place ins. However, the ghost sprites are acknowledged by NPCs, with the mouse in the department store noting he has an eerie feeling that a ghost is walking with the party whenever unconscious party members are around, Paula's dad can sense her presence in the room when she's unconscious, and Poo directly notes he's communicating with Ness' soul if he comes to the party while Ness is unconscious. With this in mind, it is accepted the characters create an astral projection to keep observing the party on their journey while they are unconscious in the hospital. This is further supported with the MOTHER 2 cast being able to have their souls leave their bodies. In MOTHER 3 this does not exist as there's rarely hospitals around so they are just unconscious on the floor with the head party member dragging them around.

It’s not a big deal, and it’s pretty well-known that NOA didn’t want any religious stuff in their games back then, so the change is to be expected. I think the guardian angel line sounds better, anyway. But yeah, there’s no way NOA would’ve let a mention of the Christian God fly in their games back then.
But note that even though she mentions God in MOTHER 2, there are no real serious religious themes in the game. So don’t take this one change out of context and make a big deal out of it 😛 - ↑ In MOTHER 2, during part of Paula’s first prayer, she says something like, “Please, God, if you’re there…” or possibly even, “Please, God, if you’re real…”
In EarthBound, this religious reference got the smack-down and was trimmed to just, “Please…” - ↑ Listen well, Ness. I am about to tell you something so important that you should probably write this down.
