Fawful, known in Japan as Gerakobits (ゲラコビッツ, Gerakobittsu), is a fictional character appearing in the Mario & Luigi series of role-playing video games developed by AlphaDream. The character is considered to be "insane," and often serves as either the main antagonist or the sidekick to the main antagonist in the games.

Fawful's dialogue was localized in English-speaking countries to parody the poorly translated English prevalent in early video games; it is schizophasic in nature, rife with non sequiturs. Fawful has received generally positive reception from both critics and fans due in part to his dialogue as well as his villainy.

Fawful is a Beanish character and a major antagonist in the Mario series. He was created by Masanori Sato, who worked as the illustrator for Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, the first game in the Mario & Luigi series. Fawful's Japanese name, Gerakobits, is derived from geragera, the Japanese onomatopoeia for a scornful laugh, while his English name is a pun combining the words "awful" and "guffaw."

Because Fawful was not based on any existing characters in the Mario series, the Nintendo Treehouse, which is responsible for localizing games for North American audiences, had more creative freedom in writing for the character.Bill Trinen and Nate Bihldorff, both employees of the Treehouse, wrote the English dialogue for Fawful through the exchange of notes. Rather than sticking close to the original Japanese script, where Fawful simply adds "Fururururu!" to the end of every line, Trinen and Bihldorff intended to make Fawful as "wacky" and "crazy" as possible in the Western release. Thus, in English versions of the games, all of Fawful's dialogue consists of broken English and word salads, like "Have you readiness for this?", and his catchphrase, "I have fury!". In Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story, Fawful is voiced by Nami Funashima.
