Francis

Francis is an enemy boss in the Wii video game Super Paper Mario. He is a nerdy lizard who is the main boss of World 3 in Bit Land. During the events that take place in World 3, Francis kidnaps Tippi, thus making Mario and team go after him. Once Mario enters his lair, he'll notice how much of a "geek" he is, seeing that he collects multiple different things ranging from obscure anime to video games. He also acts rude toward Princess Peach, calling her things such as "hot babe" and so forth. Around his lair Mario will find miniature little robot slaves that do all of his chores. Before you fight him, you enter a dating sim game with Princess Peach. He overuses the phrase "nerrrr...." and has no off-line friends.

He attacks by camoflauging himself. Mario can see his shadow, however, when he flips dimensions. He can also call bombs from the ceiling.
