The '''Earth Crystal''' is an enemy encountered in battle alongside the optional boss [[Culex]] in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]''. Like Culex and the other crystals, they are from the dimension of [[List of implied locations#Vanda|Vanda]] and met in a portal leading to that world found in [[Monstro Town]].

The Earth Crystal has the highest amount of HP out of all of the four crystals, but balances out with a dismal defense of 70.

Despite being the crystal of earth, it only has two earth-based attacks, [[Boulder (move)|Boulder]] and [[Sand Storm]]. It also wields [[Storm]] and [[Water Blast]]. It finishes up with the move [[Blast]].

It is weak against Thunder-based attacks.

In the [[Nintendo Switch]] [[Super Mario RPG (Nintendo Switch)|remake]], the Earth Crystal initially returns in the Culex boss fight where it retains its two-dimensional 16-bit appearance, offering a stark contrast to the game's revamped and updated 3D graphics. However, a post-game rematch gives it a full model, called '''Earth Crystal 3D''', as well as the other crystals and its master. In this form, defeating it causes it to use [[Valor Force]] before shattering, giving all its allies a defense boost.

==Trivia==
*All four of the Crystals originally appeared in ''{{wp|Final Fantasy (video game)|Final Fantasy}}'' and featured prominently in ''{{wp|Final Fantasy IV}}'', from which Culex's theme music comes.
*''[[Paper Mario]]'', [[list of Paper Mario pre-release and unused content#Early iterations|which was conceived as a sequel]], has the [[Crystal Bit]]s serving much the same purpose and appearance alongside the [[Crystal King]].
