'''Lord Crump''' (or '''X-Naut Black''') is a secondary antagonist in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', and the second highest ranking member of the [[X-Nauts (organization)|X-Nauts]] (second only to [[Sir Grodus]]). He fights [[Mario]] four times, two of them while controlling his personal robot, [[Magnus von Grapple]]. He also often summons the [[X-Nauts (platoon)|X-Naut platoon]] when he is angry.

He fights [[Mario]] four times, two of them while controlling his personal robot, [[Magnus von Grapple]].
Second in command of the X-Nauts, Lord Crump is always willing to follow Grodus' command. Even though Lord Crump is second in command, Grodus calls him his most incompetent underling in Chapter 8. Lord Crump is a frequent character in the story, often getting in Mario's way.
 
Second in command of the X-Nauts, Lord Crump is always willing to follow Grodus' command. Even though Lord Crump is second in command, Grodus calls him his most incompetent underling in chapter 8. Lord Crump also takes part in many of the cutscenes seen throughout the game. After his [[Magnus von Grapple 2.0]] is destroyed, he is sent flying out to deep space. However, he somehow managed to survive, and is last seen in [[Poshley Heights]] with Grodus and what is left of the X-Nauts after Mario defeats the [[Shadow Queen]].
 
Lord Crump breaks the [[fourth wall]] (acknowledges the fact that he is in a video game) in Chapter 5 by telling the player, the "person in front of the TV," not to tell Mario about his disguise. [[Professor Frankly]] also does this in this chapter.

Lord Crump appears as soon as Mario enters [[Rogueport]] and catches him interrogating [[Goombella]] in search of her knowledge of the [[Crystal Stars]]. Mario, with Goombella's help, defeats Lord Crump in a tutorial fight, but Crump has a trick up his sleeve, calling the rest of the X-Nauts to "punish him", prompting a cloud fight until Mario and Goombella fled the scene.

In Chapter 2 of the game, Grodus sends him and the [[Shadow Sirens]] to [[Boggly Woods]], knowing a Crystal Star was there located somewhere within [[the Great Tree]]. Knowing the Crystal Star belonged to the [[Puni]]es in the tree, Crump and his men imprisoned the Punies, teamed up with the Punies' enemies, the [[Jabbies]], and performed a search throughout the tree. Their search for the Star didn't go well when Mario, Goombella, [[Koops]], [[Flurrie]] and [[Punio]] interfered with everything, liberated the Punies and fought the Jabbies in a battle for the tree. After Mario, Goombella, Koops, Flurrie and the Punies found the Emerald Star, Crump steals it and activates a time bomb. As Mario and company reach the entrance to the tree, they see that the [[Puni Elder]] blocked off Crump's escape, giving them the opportunity to force Crump to deactivate time bomb. But he refuses to hand Emerald Star over, instead activating [[Magnus von Grapple]] to attack in an attempt to destroy Mario and company and make his getaway with the Emerald Star. His attempt to defeat Mario and company and escape with the Emerald Star was totally unsuccessful and Magnus von Grapple was destroyed instead. Upon the defeat of Magnus von Grapple, Lord Crump and his men were driven out of the Great Tree, and the Puni Elder gave Mario and his team the Emerald Star as a reward.

In Chapter 5, Lord Crump disguises himself as a pirate named Four-Eyes and follows Mario and company to [[Keelhaul Key]] to find the [[Sapphire Star]]. Shown in the picture, his disguise is very bad, and Crump even breaks the [[fourth wall]], telling the player that even though they might see through his disguise, they should not tell Mario of it. He secretly follows Mario and company through the [[Pirate's Grotto]] as Mario and company search for the Star. After Mario and his friends beat [[Cortez]] and obtain the Star, Lord Crump removes his disguise and threatens to blow Keelhaul Key to the bottom of the sea unless Mario gives him the Sapphire Star. Mario, [[Flavio]] and company enlist Cortez's help to fight Crump. While Cortez's pirates (with help from Mario and Flavio's deckhands and [[Francesca Pianta|Francesca]] and [[Frankie]]) and Crump's X-Nauts raid each others' ships, Mario, [[Goombella]], [[Koops]], [[Flurrie]], [[Mini-Yoshi]], [[Vivian]], [[Admiral Bobbery]] and [[Ms. Mowz]] fight Lord Crump. This time, Crump's got his X-Nauts as backup. Lord Crump and his X-Nauts lose and are forced to retreat.

Lord Crump has also shown some displays of arrogance in the aforementioned scenes. Lord Crump's speech pattern is seen as irritating to Grodus.

—Lord Crump, Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door

Lord Crump (or X-Naut Black) is a secondary antagonist in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, and the second highest ranking member of the X-Nauts (second only to Sir Grodus). He fights Mario four times, two of them while controlling his personal robot, Magnus von Grapple. He also often summons the X-Naut platoon when he is angry.

Second in command of the X-Nauts, Lord Crump is always willing to follow Grodus' command. Even though Lord Crump is second in command, Grodus calls him his most incompetent underling in Chapter 8. Lord Crump is a frequent character in the story, often getting in Mario's way.

In Chapter 2 of the game, Grodus sends him and the Shadow Sirens to Boggly Woods, knowing a Crystal Star is located somewhere within the Great Tree. Knowing the Crystal Star belongs to the Punies in the tree, Crump and his men imprison the Punies, team up with the Punies' enemies, the Jabbies, and perform a search throughout the tree. Their search for the Star doesn't go well when Mario, Goombella, Koops, Flurrie, and Punio interfere with his plans, liberate the Punies and fight the Jabbies in a battle for the tree. After Mario and the Punies find the Emerald Star, Crump steals it and activates a time bomb. As Mario and company reach the entrance to the tree, they see that the Puni elder has blocked off Crump's escape, giving them the opportunity to force Crump to deactivate the time bomb. However, he refuses to hand the Emerald Star over, instead activating Magnus von Grapple to attack in an attempt to destroy Mario and company and make his getaway with the Emerald Star. His attempt to defeat Mario and company proves totally unsuccessful and Magnus von Grapple is destroyed instead. Upon the defeat of Magnus von Grapple, Lord Crump and his men are driven out of the Great Tree, and the Puni elder gives Mario and his team the Emerald Star as a reward.
