Grubba



Grubba, a Clubba who is the manager of the Glitz Pit in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. Mario learns from Jolene that he is the one making fighters "disappear", so Mario fights him. Grubba loses, even when he transforms into Macho Grubba using the third Crystal Star, the Gold Star.

The proprietor of the Glitz Pit, and a former arena fighter (who was considered mediocre until he found the Gold Star), Grubba uses an evil power-sucking machine powered by the Gold Star to drain the life from fighters to keep himself ultra-buff. He's a large orange creature that resembles a larger form of Tubba Blubba from Paper Mario. He primarily punches or jumps on his enemies, but can also increase his attack and defense, make himself Dodgy, or attack twice each round. The disappearances of Bandy Andy, King K, and Prince Mush were all his doing; they were fighters who discovered what he was up to. He announced his intentions to drain Mario, aware that he was getting close to realizing what was going on.

Grubba uses many "interesting" phrases, such as "Great-galloping Gulpits!" or "Wait a diddly-darn minute there!"

Its unknown what happened to Grubba after Mario defeated him.
