==Profile==
Putties are bipedal, floppy gray masses of konjac with beady blue eyes. They are born when [[putty pea]]s get boiled and mashed, then placed in a mold to cool off.<ref>[[Magical Vacation rumors#Page 5|''Magical Vacation'' rumors § Page 5]]</ref> 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.<ref>[[Magical Vacation rumors#Page 1|''Magical Vacation'' rumors § Page 1]]</ref> In Japanese, Putties typically end sentences with でぺたん ''depetan'' or ぺたこん ''petakon''.

In ''[[Magical Vacation]]'', Putties are named after famous philosophers,<ref name="MV">{{Cite Media|MV}}</ref> whereas in ''[[Magical Starsign]]'', their names come from various flowers and spices.<ref name="MS">{{Cite Media|MS}}</ref>

==History==
===''[[Magical Vacation]]''===
Some time ago, [[Osim Village]]'s Putty population began steadily decreasing. The only remaining Putty, [[Bachelard]], took it upon himself to retrieve coveted [[putty pea (Magical Vacation)|putty pea]]s throughout the [[realm]]s of the [[universe]], hoping to shape them into new Putties. He encountered the [[Party (Magical Vacation)|party]] many times across the [[Light Realm]], but did not find any putty peas. He returned to Osim Village depressed, until he was met by [[Mace]], who promised to help him repopulate the village. The party also assisted Bachelard, obtaining every putty pea to make Osim Village flourish once more.<ref name="MV"/>
