| — SHADY MOLE |
SHADY MOLE is a character and enemy in OMORI. He is involved in a few sidequests during the game and can be fought as a mini-boss within the UNDERWATER HIGHWAY if those sidequests are completed.
PROFILE[]
APPEARANCE[]
SHADY MOLE is a normal SPROUT MOLE with a purple eye mask, which holds his knife in place. His normal battle sprite shows him frowning with two angry eyes.
PERSONALITY[]
Deceitful and sneaky, SHADY MOLE is a mole who claims to be honest and truthful to his words. However, many around him find it obvious that he's secretly trying to trick them into doing his dirty schemes. AUBREY notably calls SHADY MOLE out on this and is rather wary of his manipulative schemes once in a while.
He often tries to deceive others with his words, making him quite unpredictable. However, he does show a fearful side when he gets confronted for his crimes by OMORI and his party, if they decide to hunt him down after the latter steals their CLAMS.
STORY[]
SHADY MOLE is first encountered in SPROUT MOLE VILLAGE on THREE DAYS LEFT, where he stands near the entrance. After the party escapes SWEETHEART'S CASTLE, he is involved in the PESSI'S THING sidequest. If spoken to, SHADY MOLE tells the group that he will help them only if they give him a B.E.D. from MAYOR MOLE. Upon completing the requirements for the B.E.D. sidequest, SHADY MOLE rewards the group with BLACKMAIL that can be used on ROSA, who is holding PESSI's prized possession for herself.
SHADY MOLE later appears by the entrance of LAST RESORT on TWO DAYS LEFT, only if the player has already completed his sidequest and defeated both MR. JAWSUM and PLUTO. He offers to trade all the party's CLAMS for CLEMS. If you make the trade, he will give the party CLEMS and flees from the scene. This will grant you the currency of the future... achievement.
The group can later locate and fight him to get all of their CLAMS back in a cave known as the PEARL CAVE on the right side of the bypass around the first toll gate in UNDERWATER HIGHWAY. Defeating him will leave behind a sparkle containing the party's stolen CLAMS, as well as earning his FOE FACTS! entry.

??? Fidget, fidget, fidget... Hush, hush, hush... 
??? Psst... hey, kids! I couldn't help but overhear... that guy PESSI dropped something valuable, right? Something... precious, perhaps? I might be able to help you with that... SHADY MOLE A-Ahem! As you may already know, we SPROUT MOLES are very intelligent and high-functioning creatures. SHADY MOLE The smartest of us all, the MAYOR, is creating a device that will help SPROUT MOLES do their work at a much higher capacity than what was previously possible. SHADY MOLE A fabled device of legend that, when complete, will entirely revolutionize the modern world! He calls it... The B.E.D.! SHADY MOLE Hey, no questions! Get me a B.E.D. first and then we'll talk.
SHADY MOLE D-Do my eyes deceive me? SHADY MOLE I don't believe it... It's... a B.E.D.! A real, genuine, bonafide B.E.D.! I'm gonna use it right this second! SHADY MOLE Whoa, whoa, whoa! What's with all the attitude? It may not seem like it, but I'm a mole of my word. SHADY MOLE Now... You didn't hear this from me, but... Earlier, I believe I may have seen a SPROUT MOLE with a big pink bow digging through poor ol' PESSI's pockets...
SHADY MOLE Heh... ROSA's bein' difficult again, huh? Figures... She's always been like that... SHADY MOLE Here. Take this and show it to her. There's no way that she will refuse you after seeing this. SHADY MOLE Now, leave me and my new B.E.D. alone. Our business is done here! |
Shady Mole (Clems)

SHADY MOLE Gasp! You misunderstand me, child! If anything, I am more of a good Samaritan-type character! SHADY MOLE Here, I'll even prove it to you. Would a SHADY MOLE tell you incredibly helpful and vital information that could change your life? I think not! SHADY MOLE Glad I got your attention! Now... word around here is that CLAMS will soon be obsolete and replaced by a new and better currency called... CLEMS! SHADY MOLE According to my trustworthy sources, this change can potentially happen at any time and will render all of your CLAMS completely worthless! You wouldn't want that to happen, would you? SHADY MOLE Yeah! That would really suck, right? But here's the kicker... SHADY MOLE Since I heard about this, I've been secretly stocking up on the new and valuable currency called CLEMS! SHADY MOLE Being the good Samaritan that I am, I would gladly trade them all to you in exchange for your CLAMS!
SHADY MOLE Why would you want to keep your outdated CLAMS? CLEMS are the way of the future! You must reconsider!
SHADY MOLE Excellent... You won't regret this. Thank you for all your CLAMS... Now... here are some CLEMS in exchange... SHADY MOLE Please enjoy your CLEMS! Now I must go aid others who are in need of CLEMS! Toodles!
SHADY MOLE EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK!! |

TRIVIA[]
- In the game's files, SHADY MOLE is referred as BANDITO MOLE, which is also his name in the 2019 build of the game.
- SHADY MOLE shares the same battle music with SIR MAXIMUS I, II, III, and SNALEY during his final rematch.
- SHADY MOLE has an unused STEAL and RUN AWAY skill, which most likely do the following actions the name mentions. The text for STEAL would read "SHADY MOLE swiftly steals an item from the party!"
- In the 2019 build, SHADY MOLE has a 1/22 chance of being encountered in the elevator of SWEETHEART'S CASTLE and would attack without any warning upon being caught inside. This encounter was removed in the 2020 release.
- It is possible for SHADY MOLE to still appear in the SPROUT MOLE VILLAGE, even after defeating him at the ABANDONED SITE. Note that when his sidequest is finished, he will disappear once the party leaves the village through the ladder. However, this can be skipped by completing the first visit to LOST LIBRARY once OMORI is warped to WHITE SPACE.
