Segare

Segare is a mysterious, hooded character from Ripened Tingle's Balloon Trip of Love. He first appears on Page 4, when he stops Tingle and his friends, Buriki and Kakashi, from crossing a suspension bridge by cutting the ropes. He then pulls out an Ocarina, similar in style to that of the Ocarina of Time, and plays it to call his horse, whom he rides off with. He appears again at the end of Page 5, when he drops down from a tree shortly after Tingle and friends have departed.

At the end of Page 8, Segare takes off his hood, and is seen from behind wearing a crown. He then runs off to the beginning of Page 9, where he pushes a ramp in front of Tingle's train, the 751-VL1096, causing it to jump the tracks, and end up on an old mining facility rail system.

He makes another appearance on Page 11, where he is dressed up as a clown at a theme park, and is juggling with his horse, who is playing the accordion. He waits until Kakashi comes over to watch them perform, and for Tingle and the others to turn their backs. When Tingle returns, Kakashi is missing, and Segare's clown suit is lying on the ground. Buriki finds some tracks which leads the group to a desert peak. There, they see Segare far below, riding across the dessert, with Kakashi on the back of his horse.

At the end up the page, Tingle finds Kakashi tied to a stalagmite in a cave behind the Usotami Village. As soon as Lion beaks the chains, Segare shows up, and calls Big Liar. However, the giant monster instead chooses to eat Segare, but soon spits him out, and shoots him through the roof.

On Page 13, Tingle wakes up to find paint splattered all over Castle Town, and bumps into Segare, who is wearing a Tingle suit. Segare had hired three others to dress as Kakashi, Buriki, and Lion, and vandalize the town, causing Tingle and his party to be arrested.

Shortly after, Tingle and his friends are able to escape the prison, due to the fact that they have befriended one of the guards. As they enter the Emerald City Castle Courtyard, Segare attacks them approaching in a large robot. While this is happening, his horse pushes a spiked wall up behind Tingle and his trio, blocking any escape. Segare corners them, and begins to push them back against the wall. However, each of Tingle's friends use their respective abilities to flip over the robot, and Tingle uses a screwdriver to take apart the machine. When Segare manages to standup the robot, he falls out underneath it, and the machine topples over to crush him.

As the four friends make their way from the scene, Segare manages to crawls out from under the wreck. He brandishes a rocket launcher, and fires it at the castle wall before passing out. The blast knocks loose a large stone slab, which begins to fall on Tingle and his group. However, Lion manages to catch it, and Tingle, Buriki, and Kakashi manage to make it inside of a secret door before they hear the stone crash down.
