Chert is a Cragnon appearing in Super Paper Mario, residing in Downtown of Crag. He, Skarn, and Marbald tell Mario, Princess Peach, Bowser, and Tippi of the Floro Sapiens attacking their village and kidnapping Cragnons.

Oddly, it is Jasperoid, not Chert, who brings the heroes to Downtown of Crag, yet it is Chert who appears in the cutscene with Marbald.

Tattle

  • "That's Chert... He's basically the wise man of the village... He counsels the elder... He's also sort of an activity leader who manages town goings-on..."

Naming

Like all Cragnons, Chert is named after a type of rock, as well as being a play on the given name "Chet".
