The Pirori (ピロリ, also known as Shadow Men) are a type of NPC found throughout different parts of the dream world.
Overview
The appearance of the Pirori differs between dream worlds, though they all share the characteristic of being humanoid in shape and having a large cavity in their heads that resembles the eye of a needle instead of a face. In the Docks and Barracks Settlement, they are a dark brown color. In the Sewers, they are a much paler gray-blue color and are wading in the water. In FC World B, they take on an 8-bit appearance and are gray in color.
When Madotsuki interacts with the Pirori, they respond by making one of two three-note chimes that varies between individuals. In the FC World, the Pirori make a more muted 8-bit tone with two notes instead of three. The Pirori in the Sewers cannot be interacted with.
Some Pirori also have the ability to teleport Madotsuki to other dream worlds. When interacting with the lone Pirori in the Docks, it will send Madotsuki to the Wilderness section just outside of the Barracks Settlement. In Barracks Settlement, a random (determined upon entering the map) one of the six Pirori there will warp Madotsuki to the northern section of FC World B.
Trivia
- The sounds the Pirori make in the Barracks Settlement and the Docks are the same ones for opening and closing the menu but slowed down by 50%.
- Despite the chime varying between Pirori, the chime they use when teleporting Madotsuki is always the same, so a Pirori that always uses the second chime will instead use the first when teleporting the player.
- They are the only characters besides Madotsuki herself and Buyo Buyo (in previous versions of the Barracks Settlement) to have an appearance in both the regular and FC art styles of the game.
- In the English Steam release, due to a filename error, the Pirori in FC World B do not make any sound when interacted with. This error also affects the cursor sound in the FC menu. The Lizardmen, which use one of the same sounds as the Pirori when talking, do not have this error, as they use the correct filename of the sound.
