X-Naut

Pronounced Cross-Nauts. Aliens that work for Grodus and Lord Crump of the X-Naut Legion and they all appear in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. These guys are short and fat and individually weak, but rush to defend their threatened leader, often Crump.

The X-Nauts come in 3 different varieties:
 * X-Naut Troopers: The lesser X-Nauts, also the weakest. This type of X-Naut has white skin.
 * X-Naut PhDs Scientist X-Nauts. Wears a lab coat and a blue uniform and attacks by throwing chemicals at Mario and his team. Like the X-Naut Trooper, this type of X-Naut has white skin. They also create species called Yux
 * Elite X-Nauts: High-ranking soldier X-Nauts. Unlike the Trooper X-Naut or the PhD, his type of X-Naut has black skin and has red eyes.

Notable X-Nauts

 * Grodus - Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door
 * Lord Crump - Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door

Grodus' Stats
Grodus: HP 50, Attack 7, Defense 1

Tattle: That's Grodus! He's the head of the X-Nauts who kidnapped Peach. But... when he has Grodus Xs surrounding him, his Defense will go up by that number. He may also use electricity, fire, and time-stopping magic. That doesn't sound good! Still, he's a totally weird guy. Why's he so intense and serious all the time? I guess we don't have time to worry about that. Let's beat him and find Peach!

Grodus X: HP 3, Attack 4, Defense 0

Lord Crump's Stats (PM2)
Rogueport Battle

HP: 6

Attack: 1

Defense: 0

Keelhaul Key Battle

HP: 60 (has 30 HP per round), Attack: 5, Defense: 0

Tattle: That's Lord Cump. Not this guy again... Ugh. He just attacks normally, so don't worry much about him... But... those X-Nauts around him are a force to be reckoned with. They're going to attack us with all kinds of weird moves, I can just FEEL it! If we take out their leader, though, they won't have the focus to attack. Get Crump!

X-Naut Trooper's Stats
Regular Battle: HP 4, Attack 3, Defense 0

Keelhaul Key Battle: Round 1 HP 6, Round 2 HP 10, Attack 5, Defense 0

X-Naut PhD's Stats

Elite X-Naut's Stats
HP 10, Attack 5, Defense 1

Tattle: That's an Elite X-Naut. This guy is the creme de la creme of the X-Nauts. He'll use regular attacks as well boosting his power or size. Elite X-Nauts are tough, but you just have to smack away until they go down.
