'''Cragnons''' are a species of strange, tribal, cavepeople-like creatures capable of speech. They appear in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'', where they live in the aptly named [[Land of the Cragnons]]. | '''Cragnons''' are a species of strange, tribal, cavepeople-like creatures capable of speech.

The name "Cragnon" may be a play on the word "crag", meaning a steep, rugged rock, which is appropriate given how Cragnon physiology and culture is centered around rocks. They even worship a benevolent stone deity known as the [[List of implied characters#Big Rock Who Watches|Big Rock Who Watches]], and most Cragnons are named after rocks, minerals, or rock formations. "Cragnon" may also be a pun on "[[wikipedia:Cro-Magnon|Cro-Magnon]]", which refers to early types of modern ''Homo sapiens'' ( | The name "Cragnon" may be a play on the word "crag", meaning a steep, rugged rock, which is appropriate given how Cragnon physiology and culture is centered around rocks.

"Cragnon" may also be a pun on "[[wikipedia:Cro-Magnon|Cro-Magnon]]", which refers to early types of modern ''Homo sapiens'' ([[human]]s); this may be a reference to the stereotypical "cave people" motif projected by the Cragnon society. However, despite living in the "stone age", Cragnons possess highly advanced technology, such as television ([[Cragvision]]), video recording, and radio, much of it made out of rocks, in a manner similar to the people in ''{{wp|The Flintstones}}''. | ||

During the game, Cragnons are being kidnapped by the [[Floro Sapien]]s, who live in [[Floro Caverns|caves]] nearby. Scared and defenseless, they pray to the Big Rock Who Watches for help, and when [[Mario]] and his companions arrive on their quest for the [[Pure Heart]]s, the Cragnons understandably attribute their good fortune to their god. Mario and co. set off to save the Cragnons, only to discover that the Floro Sapiens had their prisoners brainwashed (turning them into [[Floro Cragnien]]s through the use of [[Floro Sprout]]s) and working in the caves, mining jewels for [[King Croacus IV]]. | During the game, Cragnons are being kidnapped by the [[Floro Sapien]]s, who live in [[Floro Caverns|caves]] nearby.

Upon learning this, the influential Cragvision star, [[Flint Cragley]] (who accompanied Mario to the Floro Caverns), promises to spread the word and ensure his people manage their wastes with more care. | ||
