Crystal Bit

Crystal Bits are pieces of the Crystal King, a boss in Paper Mario. There are three aesthetic variants of Crystal Bits including a cube, an octahedron, and a sphere. They assist him in the Crystal King's battle with Mario. They can be destroyed quickly with a multi-hitting attack, such as the multibounce, Lakilester's Spiny Surge, or Thunder Rage. Crystal King can summon them several times throughout battle, using up a turn.

Trivia

 * The Crystal Bits both resemble and serve a similar purpose as the Crystals do to Culex in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars.
 * Crystal Bits have lower HP than any other enemy in the game, along with Tuff Puffs and Petit Piranhas.
