'''Pattans''' are miniature [[Whomp]]s that appear in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', being coincidentally similar to [[Thwimp]]s in that they are minature versions of an already existing species that attempt to crush the player. Unlike normal Whomp, they only have one tooth, their face is flatter, have square, arm-less hands, and are less rectangular. They only appear at [[Throwback Galaxy]] in the mission [[Return of the Whomp King]]. They help the [[Whomp King]] in his battle against the player. In the second and third phase of the Whomp King battle, the king will stomp a foot to make three (five in the third battle phase) Pattans break off from the ground. After that, the Pattans will instantly start chasing after the player.
