X-Naut

X-Nauts (pronounced Cross Nauts) are aliens that work for Grodus and Lord Crump of the X-Naut Legion and they all appear in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. These guys are short and individually weak, but rush to defend their threatened leader, often Lord Crump.

Varieties and Ranks of X-Nauts

There are 3 different ranks in the X-Naut Legion:

X-Naut Trooper

What's with the ears?

• X-Naut Troopers are the lesser X-Nauts, also the weakest. These types of X-Nauts are field troops and the lowest of Grodus' underlings. This type of X-Naut has white skin. When led by high-ranking commanders, they can use more attacks.

Geek

• An X-Naut PhD is an X-Naut that wears a lab coat and a blue uniform. As the name implies, it is an expert X-Naut Scientist and it is usually responsible for building the inventions the other X-Nauts use for their plans, such as the Magnus Von Grapple Robots. It attacks by throwing chemicals at Mario and his team. Like the X-Naut Trooper, this type of X-Naut has white skin. They also create species called Yux.

Elite X-Naut

• Elite X-Nauts High-ranking soldier X-Nauts. The strongest X-Naut. Unlike the Trooper X-Naut or the PhD, his type of X-Naut wears a red-and-black uniform with a white X to signify their rank. Judging by their rank, they are usually sent on special missions. One of their usual tasks include guarding their Headquarters on the Moon.

Paper Mario 2 Stats and Tattle Information

Grodus

• Stats: HP 50, Attack 7, Defense 1
• Tattle: That's Grodus! He's the head of the X-Nauts who kidnapped Peach. Max HP is 50, Attack is 7 and Defense is 1. But... when he has Grodus Xs surrounding him, his Defense will go up by that number. He may also use electricity, fire, and time-stopping magic. That doesn't sound good! Still, he's a totally weird guy. Why's he so intense and serious all the time? I guess we don't have time to worry about that. Let's beat him and find Peach!
• Tattle Number: 120
• Tattle Log: The nasty creature who kidnapped Princess Peach. He's into world domination. Some hobby, huh?

Lord Crump

Rogueport Battle

• Rougeport Battle Stats: HP: 5, Attack: 1, Defense: 0
• Keelhaul Key Battle Stats: HP: 60 (has 30 HP per round), Attack: 3, Defense: 0
• Tattle: That's Lord Crump. Not this guy again... Ugh. He just attacks normally, so don't worry much about him... But... those X-Nauts around him are a force to be reckoned with. They're going to attack us with all kinds of weird moves, I can just FEEL it! If we take out their leader, though, they won't have the focus to attack. Get Crump!
• Tattle Number: 119
• Tattle Log: The X-Naut leader. He likes to attack with body-slams. Always an interesting foe...

X-Naut Trooper

• Regular Battle Stats: HP 4, Attack 3, Defense 0
• Keelhaul Key Battle Stats: Round 1 HP 6, Round 2 HP 10, Attack 4/5, Defense 0
• Tattle (Regular Battle): That's an X-Naut. Says here it's classified as an `enemy combatant'. This description stinks... You think it means they're just low-level foot soldiers? Max HP is 4, Attack is 3 and Defense is 0. They drink these potions that make them all big and burly and they attack! One's easy, but if there's two or more, better watch out! Use special moves and items!
• Tattle (Keelhaul Key Battle): That's an X-Naut platoon. Crump commands them all. Where'd they come from? Their Max HP depends on their condition, but Attack is 5 and Defense is 0. They're gonna come at us with coordinated group maneuvers, I'm sure. ...But they're pretty wimpy, so we should be able to handle it, don'tcha think?
• Tattle Number: 107
• Tattle Log: A foot soldier that uses potions and attacks by ramming. This X-Naut is the lowest of Grodus's underlings.

X-Naut PhD

• Stats: HP 9, Attack 4, Defense 0
• Tattle: That's an X-Naut PhD. Guys like this invent all the annoying things we fight. Max HP is 9, Attack is 4 and Defense is 0. He likes to throw beakers of chemicals. The chemicals do all kinds of stuff, like making things huge or burning people. He may also use potions to heal himself or make himself impossible to hit. X-Naut PhDs are REALLY annoying, so take them out before they boost themselves.
• Tattle Number: 108
• Tattle Log: An X-Naut that throws chemicals. Research is ongoing about the effects of the chemicals they throw.

Elite X-Naut

• Stats: HP 10, Attack 5, Defense 1
• Tattle: That's an Elite X-Naut. This guy is the creme de la creme of the X-Nauts. Max HP is 10, Attack is 5 and Defense is 1. He'll use regular attacks as well boosting his power or size. Elite X-Nauts are tough, but you just have to smack away until they go down.
• Tattle Number: 109
• Tattle Log: The pinnacle of the X-Naut troops, this soldier tackles and throws potions. Elite X-Nauts may be enhanced with nutrients developed by X-Naut PhDs.
