Water Crystal
The Water 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, it is from the dimension of Vanda and met in a portal leading to that world found in Monstro Town.
The Water Crystal is the second weakest crystal. While wielding decent Defense, its Magic Attack and Magic Defense are still lower than that of the Fire Crystal.
It uses mostly ice-based moves, namely Ice Rock, Blizzard, Crystal and Solidify, as well as the non-elemental Diamond Saw.
Its only weakness are Fire-based attacks.
In the Nintendo Switch remake, the Water 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 Water Crystal 3D, as well as the other crystals and its master. In this form, defeating it causes it to use Magic Force before shattering, giving all its allies a magic boost.

Trivia[edit]

- Paper Mario, which was conceived as a sequel, has the Crystal Bits serving much the same purpose and appearance alongside the Crystal King.
