{{Term/Store|Bodyguard|Bodyguards|Series|plural}} are characters in {{FPTRR}}.{{Name Ref|FPTRR}} Since {{Term|FPTRR|Tingle|link}} is not a fighter himself, early on he is forced to hire and team up with one of the many {{Plural|FPTRR|Bodyguard}} around if he wants to continue his journey. Each {{Term|FPTRR|Bodyguard}} has their own set of traits that subtly alters the way {{Term|FPTRR|Tingle}} moves through the many islands. {{Plural|FPTRR|Bodyguard}}, apart from Drifter {{Plural|FPTRR|Bodyguard}}, are hired in {{Term|FPTRR|Bodyguard Salons|link}}.

{{Plural|FPTRR|Bodyguard}}, once hired, accompany {{Term|FPTRR|Tingle}} throughout the continent and aid in battles with the local wildlife. They can fight independently or with {{Term|FPTRR|Tingle}}. When battling together, {{Term|FPTRR|Tingle}} will take less damage.<ref>{{Cite|"Battling Together" - Want to hear about this? Bodyguards are great allies. They will defend you in battles so they lose power instead of you... By "together", I mean being part of the same smoke cloud in a battle. If you get into a battle... ...either call your Bodyguard, or move to where they are...But of course, you'll still lose some energy... You can't get 100% protection. But it's much better than trying to take on monsters by yourself. Give it a try!|Salona|FPTRR}}</ref> {{Term|FPTRR|Tingle}} can restore a salon-hired {{Term|FPTRR|Bodyguard}}'s health with {{Plural|FPTRR|Potion|link}} so long as they still have some energy left. If a {{Term|FPTRR|Bodyguard}}'s health completely depletes and they collapse due to their wounds, they will not be affected by {{Plural|FPTRR|Potion}}.<ref>{{Cite|"Watch The Hearts" - You have to hear this! Make your Bodyguard work too hard and they'll collapse. You could be in real trouble if it's a dangerous place. So before things come to that... ...as the employer, you should always have a supply of power-up potions... if you throw it at your Bodyguard, they'll recover... You can throw it so it hits them, or get them to walk over it... Basically, as long a they touch the potion, they will feel its effects... Of course... You can also pay rupees to get your Bodyguard to recover their energy... But if you don't want to lose rupees, make sure you always carry power-up potions. But remember, once they have collapsed, it's too late to give them any power-up potion... Make sure you get it to them before that!|Salona|FPTRR}}</ref> Instead, {{Term|FPTRR|Tingle}} will have to hire them again for their services. Some time is given for this, but if they are not paid, they will go back to the {{Term|FPTRR|Bodyguard Salon}} without warning.<ref>{{Cite|"I Give Up!" - You need to hear this. If your Bodyguard collapses, you're in trouble... But even if you go far away from where they are... They will stay lying on the ground, waiting for you... If you give them rupees, they'll regain energy. But... Bodyguards have limits to their patience... If you leave a Bodyguard who has collapsed and decide... ...to hire a new Bodyguard... Your old Bodyguard will get up and go home. Also, if you leave your Bodyguard lying on the ground... ...and go off exploring on your own... ...they might get fed up and wander back to the Bodyguard Salon. The one thing you don't have to worry about is that because they've gone... ...they'll hold a grudge against you next time you hire them... That won't happen. These guys are pros.|Salona|FPTRR}}</ref> Hiring a new {{Term|FPTRR|Bodyguard}} at a salon or in the overworld will terminate any existing {{Term|FPTRR|Bodyguard}} contract.

There are three Drifter {{Plural|FPTRR|Bodyguard}} {{Term|FPTRR|Tingle}} can employ in {{FPTRR|-}}:<ref>{{Cite|According to some very reliable sources of mine... There are a total of 3 Drifter Bodyguards in the world...|Salona|FPTRR}}</ref> {{Term|FPTRR|Teddy Todo|link}}, {{Term|FPTRR|Yamori|link}} and {{Term|FPTRR|Ronny|link}}. They work very differently from the normal {{Plural|FPTRR|Bodyguard}}, being easier to handle in some regards and more difficult in others. They work without a license, so they cannot be hired in the {{Plural|FPTRR|Bodyguard Salon}}. Instead, {{Term|FPTRR|Tingle}} must stumble upon them by chance, at first to win their respect, then later to actually hire them. They are significantly more powerful than regular {{Plural|FPTRR|Bodyguard}} and are capable of trademark moves during battle.<ref>{{Cite|If you touch the smoke cloud round Drifter Bodyguards you'll see their true power! If you're lucky enough to hire one, you should really try it during a battle!|Salona|FPTRR}}</ref> Not being bound to a Salon also means they can travel with their employer across continents.<ref>{{Cite|Drifter Bodyguards are free to travel around the world... I wish I was that free! But no, I'm stuck here every day... You never know where you're going to meet those Drifter Bodyguards...|Salona|FPTRR}}</ref> However, Drifter {{Plural|FPTRR|Bodyguard}} do not take {{Plural|FPTRR|Potion}} when injured and refuse to re-sign a contract when they have collapsed, leaving the length of their use limited.<ref>{{Cite|I heard a rumor the other day... Apparently, there are non-Salon Bodyguards you can hire... They operate without a license... I heard that they are exceedingly powerful but... They won't drink power-up potions, they don't negotiate twice and worse than that... I heard that they are incredibly expensive to hire. Are they worth it? Personally, I think you're better off sticking with the Bodyguard Salon...|Salona|FPTRR}}</ref> To re-hire them, {{Term|FPTRR|Tingle}} must seek them out once more.

Once a fearless jungle hero, {{Term|FPTRR|Junglo|link}} has become weak in old age. He has a lower health than any other {{Term|FPTRR|Bodyguard}} in the game, and requires {{Term|FPTRR|Tingle}} to escort him to his home after being rescued from three insects. If {{Term|FPTRR|Junglo}}'s health is depleted he will retreat to the waterfall. The contract is terminated on arrival at {{Term|FPTRR|Junglo}}'s house.
