Editing Exor

{{quote|Halt! Who goes there? A trespasser! This castle now belongs to us, the "Smithy Gang". It's our first step towards taking over this world! And if it weren't for nosey characters like YOU... We'd practically OWN this world! So let's see you deal with THIS!|Exor|Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars}}

'''Exor''' is a massive sword-like member of the [[Smithy Gang]] and a major antagonist in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]''. Exor is actually composed of four parts: the Left Eye, the Right Eye, the Mouth (which is inexplicably translated '''{{wp|Neoteuthidae|Neosquid}}'''), and the skull-shaped pommel (named Exor) that controls the entire body. Exor is used as an inter-dimensional gateway between [[Mario]]'s dimension, home of the [[Mushroom Kingdom]], and [[Smithy]]'s dimension, where Smithy's [[Factory (Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars)|Factory]] is located.

The image of Exor embedded in Bowser's Keep is one of the primary images used to represent the game. Aside from the world map and [[Vista Hill]], it is on the title screen, the front of the American box art, and the back of the Japanese box art.

Exor, on his descent to [[Bowser's Castle|Bowser's Keep]], shatters the [[Star Road (Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars)|Star Road]], breaking off seven [[Star Piece (Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars)|Star Pieces]], thus eliminating the power of wishes from the world. The giant sword crashes into Bowser's Keep, sending Mario, [[Bowser]], and [[Princess Peach|Toadstool]] (who were battling in the castle) flying to other regions of the world. The keep is occupied by the Smithy Gang, and is used as Smithy's base of operations in [[Mario World|Mario's world]].

Mario returns to Bowser's Keep in an attempt to find Princess Toadstool, only to meet Exor. Exor claims the keep in the name of the Smithy Gang and destroys the bridge linking Bowser's Keep to the rest of the world, requiring Mario to find another way in.

Eventually, after collecting six Star Pieces, Mario returns to Bowser's Keep via a bus driver from [[Nimbus Land]]. After defeating [[Boomer (Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars)|Boomer]], Mario and his party are brought to the roof of the castle, where they engage Exor. In battle, the pommel of the sword (actually called Exor) must be defeated in order to win, but cannot be damaged until at least one eye has been disabled, which in a couple of turns will enable itself again, protecting the pommel completely once again. Following his defeat, Exor inhales the party, transporting them to Smithy's dimension.

After Smithy is defeated, Exor disappears entirely.

*In a television commercial promoting the American release of the game, this character was erroneously referred to as "Smithy the Sword", probably also suggesting that he was the main antagonist of the game.

*Exor is the only ''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars'' boss (aside from the [[Yaridovich]] clones) that is not immune to [[Geno Whirl]]'s ability to deal 9999 damage if executed properly.

*Exor's name may refer to {{wp|Excalibur}}, the sword from the story of King Arthur.

*Exor is one of only four bosses where the heroes leave the screen without actually posing when the victory screen comes up, the others being the [[Axem Rangers]]/[[Blade]], [[Boomer (Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars)|Boomer]], and [[Knife Guy]]/[[Grate Guy]].
