The '''Fire Crystal''' is an enemy encountered in battle alongside the optional boss [[Culex]] in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]''. Like Culex and the other crystals, it is from the dimension of [[List of implied locations#Vanda|Vanda]] and met in a portal leading to that world found in [[Monstro Town]].

True to its name, the Fire Crystal uses largely fire-based attacks, including [[Flare]], [[Flame (move)|Flame]], and [[Flame Wall]]. It rounds these attacks out with the moves [[Hot Shot]] and [[Fire Saber]].

It is weak against Ice-based attacks. It has greater Magic Defense than the next-in-line [[Water Crystal]]. Combined with its exceptional Magic Attack, it can be considered an even more difficult opponent than even the [[Earth Crystal]].

In the [[Nintendo Switch]] [[Super Mario RPG (Nintendo Switch)|remake]], the Fire Crystal initially returns in the Culex boss fight where it retains its two-dimensional 16-bit appearance, offering a stark contrast to the game's revamped and updated 3D graphics. However, a post-game rematch gives it a full model, called '''Fire Crystal 3D''', as well as the other crystals and its master. In this form, defeating it causes it to use [[Vigor Force]] before shattering, giving all its allies an attack boost.

==Trivia==
*All four of the Crystals originally appeared in ''{{wp|Final Fantasy (video game)|Final Fantasy}}'' and featured prominently in ''{{wp|Final Fantasy IV}}'', from which Culex's theme music comes.
*''[[Paper Mario]]'', [[list of Paper Mario pre-release and unused content#Early iterations|which was conceived as a sequel]], has the [[Crystal Bit]]s serving much the same purpose and appearance alongside the [[Crystal King]].
