Origin[]
Ghip-Ghisizzle is an important Blueskin official who serves the Boolooroo on Sky Island.
He is a tall, young blueskin with a blue-gold chain around his neck. He is one of the better-looking blues and seems pleasant and quite friendly. He is Majordomo and Master of Ceremonies, and is next in line to rule as Boolooroo of the Blues.
History[]
When Trot, Cap'n Bill, and Button-Bright arrived on Sky Island, they were enslaved by the Boolooroo. However, Ghip-Ghisizzle befriended them, told them about the Blue Country, and tried to help Button-Bright retrieve his Magic Umbrella from the Treasure Chamber. Instead, Button-Bright took the Book of Records and escaped with his companions through the Fog Bank.
When the Boolooroo discovered the theft of the Book of Records, he accused Ghip-Ghisizzle, and as punishment planned to have him patched with Tiggle. The punishment was interrupted by an invasion of Pinkies led by Cap'n Bill.
Meanwhile the Boolooroo's daughters, the Six Snubnosed Princesses, were fighting over who would marry Ghip-Ghisizzle and become the next queen. They took him from the patching room and hid him in their chambers, but he escaped and surrendered himself to the Pinkie army.
