Morala

Morala (モララー, Morarā), also romanized as Moralar or Moraler, is an AA character and Mona variant which surfaced around April 10, 2000.1) Their name is a portmanteau of 'Monā' and 'moral',2) that initially debut as an inversion of Mona who was more kind or sympathetic.

He has an iconic fixed expression, that some find 'amusing' or 'creepy and killer-like', and his catchphrase is “matāri shiyou yo!” (マターリしようよ！), meaning “let's relax” in an old 2channel accent.3) In general, he would become a very popular and versatile character, appearing in the Nurupo call-and-response routine, the Jisaku Jien posts, and had a bunch of stories (e.g. Moralar Plotting the World Uniform).

Derivatives

Marala

Marala (マララー) is a Morala derivative that emerged around June 2000 as a dirty joke. He may resemble a mushroom, but obviously resembles a penis, thus the 'mara' part of his name.4) His catchphrase is “mokōri shiyou yo!” (モコーリしようよ！), which incorporates the term 'mokkori' (もっこり, lit. “bulging”), and there's a bunch of very obvious dirty jokes of him 'dancing', etc.

In other words: “Monā” (モナー) + “Moral” (モラル, Moraru) = “Morala” (モララー, Morarā).
3)
At the time, 2channel users would replace the sokuon (っ/ッ) with a chōonpu (ー) to appear relaxed. For example, 'mattari' (まったり) to 'matari' (マターリ), 'sekkusu' (セックス) to 'sekūsu' (セクース), etc.
4)
The term 'mara' (魔羅) is a slang term for 'penis' which developed amongst Japanese Buddhist monks as a reference to Mara, a demon often described as an embodiment of desire.
