Profile
Putties are born when putty peas are boiled and mashed, then put in a mold to cool off. Their grey square bodies flop around when they walk, and are soft enough to repel the sharpest of swords, but can go stale if exposed to sunlight for too long. When they do not have access to water, they use sheer will to keep themselves hydrated. In Japanese, Putties typically end sentences with ぺたん petan or ぺたこん petakon.

Between the two games, Traveling Putties follow different naming conventions. In Magical Vacation, they are named after famous philosophers, whereas in Magical Starsign, their names come from various flowers and spices.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl
A putty appears in the game as a trophy and sticker #630, the latter of which uses their art from Magical Starsign. Like other Magical Vacation series trophies, Magical Vacation is omitted in their appearances.

A Kappa's Trail
In the 2009 DSiWare game A Kappa's Trail, developed by Brownie Brown, a Traveling Putty briefly appears as an easter egg. If the player-controlled kappa is guided to a clam next to their underwater house, they will come out looking like a Traveling Putty.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
A Putty appears in the game as spirit no. 1177, using their art from Magical Vacation. In their spirit battle, they are portrayed by Wii Fit Trainer on the Smashville stage.
