| | '''Cragnons''' are a species of weird strange caveman creatures capable of speech. They appear in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]''. Cragons live in the [[Land of the Cragnons]]. They believe that there's some sort of rock in the sky called the [[Big Rock Who Watches]] who is very helpful to them (they believe [[Mario]] was sent by him). It may also be a reference to the player. |

| '''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]]. | |

| 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'' (humans); 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}}''.
| | They are cavemen with high technology, such as television ([[Cragvision]]), video recording, and radio. Cragnons have the notable habit of replacing many words in the English language with "crag and "brah"." (such as, "You getting your crag on, brah?") |
| | During the game, Cragnons are being kidnapped by the [[Floro Sapiens]]. They brainwash Cragnons and turn them into enemies of Mario and the two heroes. |

| Cragnons have the notable habit of replacing many words in the English language with "crag" and "brah" (such as, "You getting your crag on, brah?"). Almost all Cragnons speak in third person.
| | The name Cragnon may be a play on the word "crag", meaning a steep, rugged rock. This makes sence, given that the Cragnons are quite focused on rocks (such as their God, the Big Rock Who Watches). It may also be a pun on '''Cr'''o-M'''agnon''', which is one of the main types of Homo Sapiens. |

| 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]].
| |
| | |
| Upon defeating the king, Mario and the others are informed that the Cragnons had inadvertently polluted the Floro Sapiens' water by throwing their garbage into the river that served as the Floro Sapiens water supply, which is what caused their ruler's madness and spurred them to retaliate against the Cragnons. 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.
