'''King Croacus IV''', usually called just '''King Croacus''', is a boss in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]''. The flamboyant king of the [[Floro Sapiens]], Croacus adores beauty and spends most of his time brainwashing [[Cragnon]]s to rebuild his castle full of jewels. He is also the possessor of the sixth [[Pure Heart]]. He was the regent for [[King Croacus III]] until he came of age, and when the young ruler wilted, Croacus IV, popular due to his stabilizing influence, was appointed King. He doesn't care for fighting, but when [[Mario]], [[Princess Peach]], and [[Bowser]] enter his chambers, he decides to dispose of them. He resembles a giant flower and is named after the real life [[wikipedia:Crocus|Crocus]] plant. | '''King Croacus IV''', usually called just '''King Croacus''', is a boss in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]''.

He resembles a giant flower and is named after the real life [[wikipedia:Crocus|Crocus]] plant. His obsession with beauty may be a nod to another flower named [[Rosie]], from the first ''[[Paper Mario]]''. Is it notable that in his theme song, a voice saying "I'm a champion", and "Me" can be heard, emphasizing King Croacus's narcissistic personality. | ||
He is defeated by jumping onto his smaller heads and then jumping on his normal head when it becomes exposed, or just throwing the smaller heads at the exposed head. His central head is invincible unless exposed, no matter what the heroes do and can even hurt them if they jump on the corners of it. After some time, he loses the rest of his body and floats around on his head, throwing sharp petals at the heroes who must dodge or destroy them and attack Croacus' flying head straight on. He could also have been defeated by using [[Thoreau]] to grab one of his smaller petals and throw them at his normal head when it was exposed. | He is defeated by jumping onto his smaller heads and then jumping on his normal head when it becomes exposed, or just throwing the smaller heads at the exposed head.
