The True Nature of the Magypsies
My theory is that the Magypsies have been on the Nowhere Islands as long as they've been in existence. It's possible that when the Dark Dragon created the islands (I don't recall if that's how things went but I'll roll with it for now), it created the Magypsies and granted them each a needle to watch over, in which they sealed it away until its power was once again needed. I think that without the Magypsies, the Nowhere Islands would be in a state of disarray, so they were created with the purpose of making sure things stayed peaceful. This could've happened hundreds of thousands of years before the events of Mother 3, as it's mentioned that they live as long as the needles stay in their place, so the needles have been there just as long as they have.
