Smorg



The Smorg Miasma is the sixth major boss of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door.

This boss does not hold a Crystal Star, but it attacks the Excess Express during the trek to Poshley Heights. This boss is made up of smaller Smorgs. They are first seen at the Riverside Station, where they lift the drawbridge to stop the train from going far (it is unknown if it is working for the Shadow Sirens to stop Mario and his teammates from reaching the Garnet Star). Later on, they stow away on the train and kidnap the passengers. Mario and his teammates fight the Smorgs on the rooftop of the train to rescue the passengers. When they are defeated, they will blow away in the wind and release the passengers. It resembles Fuzzies. They have yet to appear in another Mario title.
