Sockpuppets, often called Clones, are clones of a Troll, or possible even family members. They often attack after the real spammer (Willy on Wheels = Clone: Willy on Wario) is blocked by a Sysop, Bureaucrat, or Patroller. Their main objective is to carry on the legacy of the real spammer.
Willy on Wheels holds the record for most sockpuppets standing at thirty-three, Peachycales holding a strong second with eighteen. Sockpuppets are usually easy to defeat since they carry their family name, they are shot on site.
Good Sockpuppets
Some believe that there is the possibility of good sockpuppets. Indeed, some legitimate Users have sockpuppeted themselves for reasons such as temporary blocks (for instance, 3dejong once erected a 2dejong sockpuppet after a block) or to end otherwise impossible disputes or errors (an example of this happened when Super Luigi 821 became "SuperLuigi821" and, due to the instance of "perL" in his name, could not edit; he then sockpuppeted himself as Glitches to carry out the execution of the Perl glitch).
