'''Exor''' is a high-ranking member of the [[Smithy Gang]] and the secondary antagonist and boss in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'' and [[Super Mario RPG (Nintendo Switch)|its Nintendo Switch remake]]. Exor is a giant anthropomorphic sword that is composed of four parts: the Left Eye, the Right Eye, the Mouth (which is inexplicably translated as "'''{{wp|Neoteuthidae|Neosquid}}'''" in the original), and the skull-shaped pommel (named Exor) that controls the entire body. Exor's name is a reference to {{wp|Excalibur}}, the sword from the story of {{wp|King Arthur}}. Exor is used as a gateway between [[Mario World|Mario's world]], which is home of the [[Mushroom Kingdom]], and the [[Weapon World]], where [[Smithy]]'s [[Factory (Super Mario RPG)|Factory]] is located.

Exor is a giant anthropomorphic sword that is actually composed of four parts: the Left Eye, the Right Eye, the Mouth (which is inexplicably translated as "'''{{wp|Neoteuthidae|Neosquid}}'''" in the original), and the skull-shaped pommel (named Exor) that controls the entire body. Exor's name is a reference to {{wp|Excalibur}}, the sword from the story of King Arthur.

The image of Exor impaling [[Bowser's Castle|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, on the front of the American box art, and on the back of the Japanese box art.

Mario returns to Bowser's Keep in an attempt to find Peach, 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.
Mario returns to Bowser's Keep in an attempt to find Peach, 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 [[royal bus driver|a bus driver]] from [[Nimbus Land]]. After defeating [[Boomer (Super Mario RPG)|Boomer]], Mario and his [[party member|allies]] are brought to the roof of the castle, where they engage Exor. In battle, the sword's pommel (actually called Exor) must be defeated to win, but it cannot be damaged until at least one eye has been disabled. In a couple of turns, the eye enables itself again, protecting the pommel completely once again. Following its defeat, Exor inhales Mario and his allies, transporting them to Smithy's world.

After Smithy is defeated, Exor disintegrates.
After Smithy is defeated, Exor disappears entirely.

*Exor's Monster List description also implies that, in [[Mario World]], no sword exists. However, this is false, as characters such as [[Prince Peasley]], ''[[Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon]]''{{'}}s knight armors, [[Swordfighter Peach]], and many others are seen carrying and using swords.
