Culex

"I am matter... I am antimatter... I can see your past... I can see your future... I consume time... And I will consume you!"

- Culex

Culex is a character that appeared in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars. He is from the alternate dimension of Vanda. He is designed to resemble generic Final Fantasy bosses, since both Super Mario RPG and Final Fantasy are made by Square Enix, but he did not appear in any of the Final Fantasy games.

Culex hides behind a sealed door in Monstro Town. To get into it, Mario has to use the Shiny Stone he can get by trading Fireworks with a mole in Moleville. If Mario's team defeats Culex, they will receive a Quartz Charm.

In battle, Culex is aided by the Earth Crystal, the Fire Crystal, the Water Crystal, and the Wind Crystal. Each of these powerful artifacts has powerful magic skills of the named element.
