'''Lord Crump''' (or '''X-Naut Black''') is a secondary antagonist in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', and the second highest ranking member of the [[X-Nauts (organization)|X-Nauts]] (second only to [[Sir Grodus]]). He fights [[Mario]] four times, two of them while controlling his personal robot, [[Magnus von Grapple]]. He also often summons the [[X-Nauts (platoon)|X-Naut platoon]] when he is angry.


'''Lord Crump''' is a high-ranking [[X-Naut]] in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. He is second only to [[Grodus|Sir Grodus]]. He guards the second [[Crystal Stars|Crystal Star]], the [[Emerald Star]] as [[Magnus Von Grapple Robots|Magnus Von Grapple]] and the seventh Crystal Star, the [[Crystal Star]] as [[Magnus Von Grapple Robots|Magnus Von Grapple 2.0.]] Hoping to steal the fifth Crystal Star, the [[Sapphire Star]], he goes under the name of '''Four-Eyes''' in Chapter 5: The Key to the Pirates.
Second in command of the X-Nauts, Lord Crump is always willing to follow Grodus' command. Even though Lord Crump is second in command, Grodus calls him his most incompetent underling in Chapter 8. Lord Crump is a frequent character in the story, often getting in Mario's way.


Second in command of the X-Nauts, Lord Crump is always willing to follow Grodus' command. The player will fight the somewhat-stupid X-Naut four different times. The player's first battle will be against him. Lord Crump also takes part in many of the cutscenes seen throughout the game. After his Magnus von Grapple 2.0 is destroyed, he is sent flying out to space. He managed to return from space, and now hangs around with Grodus and what's left of X-Nauts in [[Poshley Heights]].

[[File:Magnus Von Grapple.png|200px|thumb|left|Lord Crump operating [[Magnus von Grapple]].]]
Lord Crump appears as soon as Mario enters [[Rogueport]] and catches him interrogating [[Goombella]] in search of her knowledge of the [[Crystal Stars]]. Mario, with Goombella's help, defeats Lord Crump in a tutorial fight, but Crump has a trick up his sleeve, calling the rest of the X-Nauts to "punish him", prompting a cloud fight until Mario and Goombella flee the scene.


Lord Crump breaks the [[Fourth Wall]] (acknowledges the fact that he is in a video game) in Chapter 5 by telling the player, the "[[Player|person in front of the TV]]," not to tell Mario about his disguise. [[Professor Frankly]] also does this in this chapter.
[[File:PMTTYD Magnus screenshot.png|thumb|Crump insults Mario during the fight.]]
In Chapter 2 of the game, Grodus sends him and the [[Shadow Sirens]] to [[Boggly Woods]], knowing a Crystal Star is located somewhere within [[the Great Tree]]. Knowing the Crystal Star belongs to the [[Puni]]es in the tree, Crump and his men imprison the Punies, team up with the Punies' enemies, the [[Jabbies]], and perform a search throughout the tree. Their search for the Star doesn't go well when Mario, Goombella, [[Koops]], [[Flurrie]], and [[Punio]] interfere with his plans, liberate the Punies and fight the Jabbies in a battle for the tree. After Mario and the Punies find the Emerald Star, Crump steals it and activates a time bomb. As Mario and company reach the entrance to the tree, they see that the [[Puni elder]] has blocked off Crump's escape, giving them the opportunity to force Crump to deactivate the time bomb. However, he refuses to hand the Emerald Star over, instead activating [[Magnus von Grapple]] to attack in an attempt to destroy Mario and company and make his getaway with the Emerald Star. His attempt to defeat Mario and company proves totally unsuccessful and Magnus von Grapple is destroyed instead. Upon the defeat of Magnus von Grapple, Lord Crump and his men are driven out of the Great Tree, and the Puni elder gives Mario and his team the Emerald Star as a reward.

====''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door''====
In Chapter 5, Lord Crump disguises himself as a pirate named Four-Eyes and follows Mario and company to [[Keelhaul Key]] to find the [[Sapphire Star]]. Shown in the picture, his disguise is very bad, and Crump even breaks the [[fourth wall]], telling the player that even though they might see through his disguise, they should not tell Mario of it. He secretly follows Mario and company through the [[Pirate's Grotto]] as Mario and company search for the Star. After Mario and his friends beat [[Cortez]] and obtain the Star, Lord Crump removes his disguise and threatens to blow Keelhaul Key to the bottom of the sea unless Mario gives him the Sapphire Star. Mario, [[Flavio]] and company enlist Cortez's help to fight Crump. While Cortez's pirates (with help from Mario and Flavio's deckhands and [[Francesca]] and [[Frankie]]) and Crump's X-Nauts raid each others' ships, Mario and his partners fight Lord Crump. This time, Crump uses his X-Nauts as backup. Lord Crump and his X-Nauts lose and are forced to retreat.
As [[Mario]] makes it to [[Rogueport]], he sees Lord Crump attacking [[Goombella]], and fights him in a tutorial battle. After the defeat of Crump, Crump sends in a mob of X-Nauts to tackle Mario, but he and Goombella escape.


In Chapter 2 of the game, Grodus sends him and the [[Shadow Sirens]] to [[Boggly Woods]], knowing a Crystal Star was there, located somewhere within [[the Great Tree]]. Knowing the Crystal Star belonged to the [[Puni]]es in the tree, Crump and his men imprisoned the Punies, teamed up with the Punies' enemies, the Jabbies, and performed a search throughout the tree. Their search for the Star didn't go well when Mario, Goombella, [[Koops]], [[Flurrie]] and [[Punio]] interfered with everything, liberated the Punies and fought the Jabbies in a battle for the tree. After Mario, Goombella, Koops, Flurrie and the Punies found the Emerald Star, Crump steals it and activates a 5-minute self-destruct mechanism. As Mario and company reach the entrance to the tree, they see that the [[Puni Elder]] blocked off Crump's escape, giving them opportunity to force Crump to surrender. Crump was surrounded, so he activated  [[Magnus Von Grapple]] to attack, in an attempt to destroy Mario and company and make his getaway with the Emerald Star. But defeating Mario and company and escaping with the Emerald Star was totally unsuccessful when the Magnus Von Grapple Robot was beaten. Upon the defeat of [[Magnus Von Grapple]], Lord Crump and his men were driven out of the Great Tree, and the Puni Elder gave Mario and his team the Emerald Star as a reward.
[[File:PMTTYD Twilight Town battle.png|thumb|left|X-Nauts vs. [[Koopa Troop]]]]
It is not long after the events at Keelhaul Key that Lord Crump returns to [[Twilight Town]] in search of the [[Superbombomb]]. He manages to find it, and gloats over how it will help him with the search for the Crystal Stars. Unfortunately, [[Bowser]] and [[Kammy Koopa]] are around, and overhear him. This results in a battle against the X-Nauts and the [[Koopa Troop]] that almost begins, until Bowser uses his [[Fire Breath]] to set off the Superbombomb, blasting both armies into submission. This is the only time Crump gets to meet Bowser.

Lord Crump reappears at the end of the X-Naut Fortress where he attacks Mario and friends in the [[Magnus von Grapple 2.0]], which he claims to have at least a dozen new abilities. Mario defeats Crump and sends him into space. Grodus reveals that the results of the battle were irrelevant for his plans, and admits that he tricked Lord Crump.

In Chapter 5, Lord Crump disguises himself as a pirate named Four-Eyes and follows Mario and company to [[Keelhaul Key]] to find the Sapphire Star. Shown in the picture, his disguise is very poor, and Crump even comments that even though the player might see through his disguise, they should not tell Mario of it. He secretly follows Mario and company through the [[Pirate's Grotto]] as Mario and company search for the Star. After Mario and his friends beat [[Cortez]] and obtain the Star, Lord Crump removes his disguise and threatens to blow Keelhaul Key to the bottom of the sea unless Mario gives him the Sapphire Star. Mario, [[Flavio]] and company enlist Cortez's help to fight Crump. While Cortez's pirates (with help from Mario and Flavio's deckhands and [[Francesca Pianta|Francesca]] and [[Frankie]]) and Crump's X-Nauts raid each others' ships, Mario, [[Goombella]], [[Koops]], [[Flurrie]], the [[Yoshi (kid)|Yoshi]], [[Vivian]], [[Bobbery]] and [[Ms. Mowz]] fight Lord Crump. This time, Crump's got his X-Nauts as backup. Lord Crump and his X-Nauts lose and are sent off to lick their wounds.
During the ending, it is revealed that Lord Crump survives after his defeat. He was last seen in [[Poshley Heights]], along with Grodus (who is reduced to his robotic head), and four X-Naut troopers. As with [[Beldam]], Lord Crump and the X-Nauts reportedly reformed for the better.


It was not long after that Lord Crump went to [[Twilight Town]] in search of the [[Superbombomb]]. He manages to find it, and gloats over how it will help him with the search for the Crystal Stars. Unfortunately, [[Bowser]] and [[Kammy Koopa]] were around, and overheard him. This resulted in a battle against the X-Nauts and the [[Koopa Troop]] that almost started, had not Bowser used his [[Fire Breath]] to set off the Superbombbomb, blasting both armies into submission. This was the only time Crump got to meet Bowser.  
====Field Tattle====
Outside of battle, [[Goombella]] can use [[Tattle]] on Lord Crump only while he is disguised as Four-Eyes.

Lord Crump reappeared at the end of the X-Nauts base where he attacked Mario and friends in his new Magnus von Grapple 2.0 which had at least a dozen new abilities. Mario managed to defeat Crump narrowly and he was blasted into space. Later, it is revealed that he somehow survives. Grodus revealed that the results of the battle was irrelevant for his plans, and admits that he tricked Lord Crump.

===Personality===
Lord Crump, throughout the course of the game, has been shown to be somewhat of a clown and bumbling; and as a result, he is often looked down on by Grodus, even going so far as to label him as his "least-competent underling".

Lord Crump has also shown some displays of arrogance in the aforementioned scenes. Lord Crump's speech pattern is seen as irritating to Grodus.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*Lord Crump plays [[Jr. Troopa]]'s role as the most frequently fought boss in the game. However, unlike Jr. Troopa, Lord Crump is the first in the ''[[Paper Mario (series)|Paper Mario series]]'' that's affiliated with the main antagonist. [[O'Chunks]] later on takes his role in [[Super Paper Mario|the sequel]]. Also, O'Chunks and Lord Crump are faced 4 times each, unlike Jr. Troopa who is fought 6 times.
*It is impossible to lose the first battle against Lord Crump, because even if Mario falls into the water to lose 9 HP, he will start the battle with at least 5 HP, and his only options are attacking and defending.
*Despite the fact that he's Grodus' right-hand man, Grodus still considers him as his "least-competent underling".
*If Lord Crump is frozen during the second phase of his third fight (on [[Keelhaul Key]]), he will not board the X-Nauts as they perform their giant ball attack, but the attack will work as normal.
*Lord Crump is also known as "X-Naut Black".
*The beginning of Lord Crump's theme has the death soundbit from the {{wp|Atari 2600}} version of ''{{wp|Pac-Man (Atari 2600)|Pac-Man}}''.{{ref needed}}
*Lord Crump also plays a similar role to [[Yaridovich]] from ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]''. Both are a high-ranking servant of the main antagonist, who meet Mario in disguise with the intent of letting him get the star and then taking it from him. Also, both are briefly confronted by a pirate who was earlier defeated by Mario shortly before the battle (and subsquently gave him the star); in Yaridovich's case, [[Johnny]] stopped him from swimming away as Mario was chasing him.

—Lord Crump, Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door

Lord Crump (or X-Naut Black) is a secondary antagonist in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, and the second highest ranking member of the X-Nauts (second only to Sir Grodus). He fights Mario four times, two of them while controlling his personal robot, Magnus von Grapple. He also often summons the X-Naut platoon when he is angry.

Second in command of the X-Nauts, Lord Crump is always willing to follow Grodus' command. Even though Lord Crump is second in command, Grodus calls him his most incompetent underling in Chapter 8. Lord Crump is a frequent character in the story, often getting in Mario's way.

In Chapter 2 of the game, Grodus sends him and the Shadow Sirens to Boggly Woods, knowing a Crystal Star is located somewhere within the Great Tree. Knowing the Crystal Star belongs to the Punies in the tree, Crump and his men imprison the Punies, team up with the Punies' enemies, the Jabbies, and perform a search throughout the tree. Their search for the Star doesn't go well when Mario, Goombella, Koops, Flurrie, and Punio interfere with his plans, liberate the Punies and fight the Jabbies in a battle for the tree. After Mario and the Punies find the Emerald Star, Crump steals it and activates a time bomb. As Mario and company reach the entrance to the tree, they see that the Puni elder has blocked off Crump's escape, giving them the opportunity to force Crump to deactivate the time bomb. However, he refuses to hand the Emerald Star over, instead activating Magnus von Grapple to attack in an attempt to destroy Mario and company and make his getaway with the Emerald Star. His attempt to defeat Mario and company proves totally unsuccessful and Magnus von Grapple is destroyed instead. Upon the defeat of Magnus von Grapple, Lord Crump and his men are driven out of the Great Tree, and the Puni elder gives Mario and his team the Emerald Star as a reward.

Artwork of Lord Crump from Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door
Lord Crump disguised as Four-Eyes

In Chapter 5, Lord Crump disguises himself as a pirate named Four-Eyes and follows Mario and company to Keelhaul Key to find the Sapphire Star. Shown in the picture, his disguise is very bad, and Crump even breaks the fourth wall, telling the player that even though they might see through his disguise, they should not tell Mario of it. He secretly follows Mario and company through the Pirate's Grotto as Mario and company search for the Star. After Mario and his friends beat Cortez and obtain the Star, Lord Crump removes his disguise and threatens to blow Keelhaul Key to the bottom of the sea unless Mario gives him the Sapphire Star. Mario, Flavio and company enlist Cortez's help to fight Crump. While Cortez's pirates (with help from Mario and Flavio's deckhands and Francesca and Frankie) and Crump's X-Nauts raid each others' ships, Mario and his partners fight Lord Crump. This time, Crump uses his X-Nauts as backup. Lord Crump and his X-Nauts lose and are forced to retreat.

The Koopa Troop (led by Bowser) and the X-Nauts (led by Lord Crump) confront each other in Twilight Town during the Bowser intermission between Chapters 5 - 6 in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door
X-Nauts vs. Koopa Troop

It is not long after the events at Keelhaul Key that Lord Crump returns to Twilight Town in search of the Superbombomb. He manages to find it, and gloats over how it will help him with the search for the Crystal Stars. Unfortunately, Bowser and Kammy Koopa are around, and overhear him. This results in a battle against the X-Nauts and the Koopa Troop that almost begins, until Bowser uses his Fire Breath to set off the Superbombomb, blasting both armies into submission. This is the only time Crump gets to meet Bowser.

Lord Crump reappears at the end of the X-Naut Fortress where he attacks Mario and friends in the Magnus von Grapple 2.0, which he claims to have at least a dozen new abilities. Mario defeats Crump and sends him into space. Grodus reveals that the results of the battle were irrelevant for his plans, and admits that he tricked Lord Crump.

During the ending, it is revealed that Lord Crump survives after his defeat. He was last seen in Poshley Heights, along with Grodus (who is reduced to his robotic head), and four X-Naut troopers. As with Beldam, Lord Crump and the X-Nauts reportedly reformed for the better.

Field Tattle

Outside of battle, Goombella can use Tattle on Lord Crump only while he is disguised as Four-Eyes.

Trivia

  • It is impossible to lose the first battle against Lord Crump, because even if Mario falls into the water to lose 9 HP, he will start the battle with at least 5 HP, and his only options are attacking and defending.
  • If Lord Crump is frozen during the second phase of his third fight (on Keelhaul Key), he will not board the X-Nauts as they perform their giant ball attack, but the attack will work as normal.
  • The beginning of Lord Crump's theme has the death soundbit from the Atari 2600 version of Pac-Man.[citation needed]
