Bachelard will join the party in Osim Village if all 20 putty peas have been retrieved. Their initial levels are level 180 and magic level 90.

Their element is wood, represented by the spirit Sticky. Its spells hit single and 2x2 targets, with a chance to lower magic defense.

Magical Vacation
The party first encounters Bachelard at Ville de Souris, asking a souris salsemen if he has putty peas in stock. Unfortunately, the souris does not seem to know what putty peas are, leading Bachelard to believe that such an item cannot be found in the Light Realm.

Later on, Bachelard wanders around Tapioca Tea Village in the Dark Realm, saying they are returning to the desolate Osim Village with no putty peas, and fears for the future of all putties. By the time the party reaches Osim Village past Treeman's Colony, Bachelard is seen lying face-down in exhaustion. They will not stand up until Mace is talked to in the locked house at Abos Village, and is given a putty pea from Mt. Morbier. Afterwards, the party can talk to Bachelard and give them putty peas to repopulate the village.

Trivia
