'''Pokios''' are pheasant-like enemies found in [[Seaside Kingdom]], [[Bowser's Kingdom]], and [[Darker Side]] in ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]''. They wander around and poke [[Mario]] with their beaks when he approaches them. According to the [[Bonneter biologist]], their beaks are normally short due to being in an extremely folded state, but shoot outwards when they are opened. To [[capture]] them, the player must first knock off the samurai helmet that they wear. Once captured, Mario can poke enemies with his beak. If Mario pokes at a wall, he can cling onto it and fling himself any desired direction; this is useful for climbing up walls. Additionally, with his beak, Mario can flick incoming bombs the opposite direction, which can be used to chuck bombs at destructible blocks. Spinning fast enough makes Pokio perform a spin attack, which, if used while poking a wall, causes the Pokio to jump about the height of a [[Somersault|Backwards Somersault]].

Some Power Moons are unlocked by poking a Pokio's beak in holes.


These two skills are necessary in the first boss fight against [[RoboBrood]], as Mario (under Pokio form) must flick bombs at the RoboBrood's legs, topple it, and then climb on top of it with his beak to poke the [[Broodals]] in their domes or [[Ground Pound|ground-pounding]] them as Mario.

The Pokio's name is a play on the words "poke" and {{wp|Pinocchio}}, a character whose nose grew whenever he lied. Their design is based on the Japanese [[wikipedia:Green pheasant|green pheasant]], though the [[wikipedia:Red-crowned crane|red-crowned crane]] was considered.<ref>Roberts, R.; Blenk, J. (2017). ''[[The Art of Super Mario Odyssey]]''. [[Dark Horse Comics]]. p. 273.</ref> The Prima guide mistakenly classifies them as {{wp|woodpecker}}s.
