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 Tattle: That's an X-Naut. Says here it's classified as an `enemy combatant'. The description stinks... You think it means they're just low-level foot soldiers? They drink these potions that make them all big and burly and they attack! One's easy, but if there's two or more, better watch out! Use special moves and items!

Keelhaul Key Battle: Round 1 HP 6, Round 2 HP 10, Attack 5, Defense 0 Tattle: That's an X-Naut platoon. Crump commands them all. Where'd they come from? They're gonna come at us with coordinated group maneuvers, I'm sure. ...But they're pretty wimpy, so we should be able to handle it, don'tcha think?

X-Naut PhD's Stats
HP 9, Attack 4, Defense 0

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.
