Yux are X-shaped, barrier-using creatures created by the X-Naut army, appearing in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door.

History[edit]

Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door[edit]

They are first encountered in the Great Tree where they are used as security by the X-Nauts. A smaller number appear later in the X-Naut Fortress on the moon, where they can be seen behind glass alongside the stronger Z-Yuxes and X-Yuxes, which are used as guards there.

In battle, Yux produce a Mini-Yux from within themselves at the end of every turn; the Mini-Yux sustains a barrier around the Yux that renders it invincible. The Yux attack with ring beam that pierces defense; even Damage Dodge badges have no effect on the damage they deal. This means that a Yux's attack will always deal at least one damage unless the target performs a successful Superguard.

During the battle against Sir Grodus, he uses a type of Yux called Grodus X, which acts more like a Mini-Yux.

Super Paper Mario[edit]

In Super Paper Mario, normal Yux do not appear, though similar enemy called a Barribad appears alongside a few of its own variations. Additionally, one of the Sammer Guy warriors of Sammer's Kingdom is named Yowling Yux in tribute to the enemy.

Log These pathetically ugly creatures were created in X-Naut laboratories. With Mini-Yux around them, they're impervious to all attacks.
Tattle That's a Yux. Says here it's a creature created in the X-Naut labs. Max HP is 3, Attack is 2, and Defense is 0. According to this, attacks and items won't affect it if it has Mini-Yux around it. So, if any Mini-Yux appear, take those out first. Duh!
