| '''Lord Crump''', also known as '''X-Naut Black''' and '''Four-Eyes''' when disguised, is the second-in-command of the [[X-Nauts (organization)|X-Nauts]] (second only to [[Grodus]]) and the secondary antagonist in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'' and its [[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Nintendo Switch)|Nintendo Switch remake]]. He fights [[Mario]] four times, two of them while controlling his personal robot, [[Magnus von Grapple]]. He also often summons the [[X-Nauts (platoon)|X-Naut platoon]] when he is angry.

| Second in command of the X-Nauts, Lord Crump is always willing to follow Grodus' command. Even though Lord Crump is second in command, Grodus calls him his most incompetent underling in Chapter 8. Lord Crump frequently appears in the story, often getting in Mario's way. | | Second in command of the X-Nauts, Lord Crump is always willing to follow Grodus' command. You will fight the somewhat-stupid X-Naut four different times. Your first battle will be against him. Lord Crump also takes part in many of the cutscenes seen throughout the game. After his Magnus von Grapple 2.0 is destroyed, he is sent flying out to space. He mananged to return from space, and now hangs around with [[Grodus]] and whats left of X-Nauts in Poshley Heights. |

| ===''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door''===
| | As [[Mario]] makes it to [[Rogueport]], he sees Lord Crump attacking [[Goombella]], and fights him in a tutorial battle. After the defeat of Crump, Crump sends in a mob of X-Nauts to tackle Mario, but he and Goombella escape. |
| Lord Crump appears as soon as Mario enters [[Rogueport]] and catches him interrogating [[Goombella]] in search of her knowledge of the [[Crystal Stars]]. Mario, with Goombella's help, defeats Lord Crump in a tutorial fight, but Crump has a trick up his sleeve, calling the rest of the X-Nauts to "punish him", prompting a cloud fight until Mario and Goombella flee the scene.

| | In Chapter 2 of the game, Grodus sends him and the [[Shadow Sirens]] to [[Boggly Woods]], knowing a Crystal Star was there, located somewhere within [[the Great Tree]]. Knowing the Crystal Star belonged to the [[Puni]]es in the tree, Crump and his men imprisoned the Punies, teamed up with the Punies' enemies, the Jabbies, and performed a search throughout the tree. Their search for the Star didn't go well when Mario, Goombella, [[Koops]], [[Flurrie]] and [[Punio]] interfered with everything, liberated the Punies and fought the Jabbies in a battle for the tree. After Mario, Goombella, Koops, Flurrie and the Punies found the Emerald Star, Crump steals it and activates a 5-minute self-destruct mechanism. As Mario and company reach the entrance to the tree, they see that the [[Puni Elder]] blocked off Crump's escape, giving them opportunity to force Crump to surrender. Crump was surrounded, so he activated [[Magnus Von Grapple]] to attack, in an attempt to destroy Mario and company and make his getaway with the Emerald Star. But defeating Mario and company and escaping with the Emerald Star was totally unsuccessful when the Magnus Von Grapple Robot was beaten. Upon the defeat of [[Magnus Von Grapple]], Lord Crump and his men were driven out of the Great Tree, and the Puni Elder gave Mario and his team the Emerald Star as a reward. |

However, he refuses to hand the Emerald Star over, instead activating [[Magnus von Grapple]] to attack in an attempt to destroy Mario and company and make his getaway with the Emerald Star.

| | In Chapter 5, Lord Crump disguises himself as a pirate named Four-Eyes and follows Mario and company to [[Keelhaul Key]] to find the Sapphire Star. He secretly follows Mario and company through the [[Pirate's Grotto]] as Mario and company search for the Star. After Mario and his friends beat [[Cortez]] and obtain the Star, Lord Crump removes his disguise and threatens to blow Keelhaul Key to the bottom of the sea unless Mario gives him the Sapphire Star. Mario, [[Flavio]] and company enlist Cortez's help to fight Crump. While Cortez's pirates (with help from Mario and Flavio's deckhands and [[Francesca Pianta|Francesca]] and [[Frankie]]) and Crump's X-Nauts raid each others' ships, Mario, [[Goombella]], [[Koops]], [[Flurrie]], the [[Yoshi Kid]], [[Vivian]], [[Bobbery]] and [[Ms. Mowz]] fight Lord Crump. This time, Crump's got his X-Nauts as backup. Lord Crump and his X-Nauts lose and are sent off to lick their wounds. |

| In Chapter 5, Lord Crump disguises himself as a pirate named Four-Eyes and follows Mario and company to [[Keelhaul Key]] to find the [[Sapphire Star]]. Shown in the picture, his disguise is very bad, and Crump even breaks the [[fourth wall]], telling the player that even though they might see through his disguise, they should not tell Mario of it. He secretly follows Mario and company through the [[Pirate's Grotto]] as Mario and company search for the Star. While Lord Crump is disguised, [[Goombella]] has two field [[tattle]]s on Lord Crump. | |

While Cortez's pirates (with help from Mario and Flavio's deckhands and [[Francesca]] and [[Frankie]]) and Crump's X-Nauts raid each other's ships, Mario and his partners fight Lord Crump. This time, Crump uses his X-Nauts as backup. Lord Crump and his X-Nauts lose and are forced to retreat.
| | Lord Crump reappered at the end of the X-Nauts base where he attacked Mario and friends in his new Magnus von Grapple 2.0 which had at least a dozen new abilities. Mario managed to defeat Crump narrowly and he was blasted into space. |

| It is not long after the events at Keelhaul Key that Lord Crump returns to [[Twilight Town]] in search of the [[Superbombomb]]. He manages to find it, and gloats over how it will help him with the search for the Crystal Stars. Unfortunately, [[Bowser]] and [[Kammy Koopa]] are around and overhear him. This results in a battle against the X-Nauts and the [[Koopa Troop]] that almost begins, until Bowser uses his [[Fire Breath]] to set off the Superbombomb, blasting both armies into submission. This is the only time Crump gets to meet Bowser.

Its most effective attack is one that takes advantage of its size: a smothering stomp. It can also shoot out its fists, which do these super-gnarly rocket punches. Its fists have Max HP of 2, an Attack of 4, and Defense of 0. Its fists are super-powerful, so it's best to knock them down fast. The thing about this robot is I can't tell if it looks cool, or really, REALLY stupid... |

| Lord Crump had a minor cameo in ''[[Super Mario Run]]'' (ver. 3.2.0) on promotional artwork in the game during its celebration of the release of ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Nintendo Switch)|Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'' ([[Nintendo Switch]]), though his presence on the in-game alert for the event was his only appearance in the game.

| | *'''Tattle:''' Ah! Magnus Von Grapple 2.0. The upgraded version of Magnus Von Grapple. Max HP is 70, Attack is 6, and Defense is 2. Its basic attack is a drill move that drops from above. It also sometimes releases its fists for flying X-Punches. Each X-Punch has a Max HP of 5, and Attack of 9, and a Defense of 0. When those fists are flying, you may get attacked by the fists and body in one turn... Take care of those low-HP fists early on, trust me. When the body's HP gets low, it'll also fire machine guns and who knows what else. It may not look too different from the last version, but it's much stronger, so be careful! I still think the whole design is a little ridiculous, though... |

| ==General information== | | ====Magnus 2.0's Fists Stats==== |
| ===Personality=== | | *'''HP:''' 5 |
| Lord Crump, throughout the course of the game, has been shown to be somewhat of a clown and bumbling; and as a result, he is often looked down on by Grodus, even going so far as to label him as his "least-competent underling". Despite this, there are many instances where he proves himself to be quite intelligent, such as in Chapter 2 when he sets a trap for Mario and his [[partner]]s, in Chapter 5, where he disguises himself as Four-Eyes and uses Mario and company to defeat Cortez for him so that he can obtain the Crystal Star, and even in Chapter 7, where he (according to himself) uses the last Crystal Star to lure Mario and the others up to the X-Naut Fortress so that he can take theirs and add to the X-Nauts' collection (even though he does not know he is being taken advantage of himself by Grodus). Lord Crump has also shown some displays of arrogance in the aforementioned scenes. Lord Crump's speech pattern is seen as irritating to Grodus.

| | |
| ==Trivia==
| |
| *It is impossible to lose the first fight against Lord Crump, because even if Mario repeatedly falls into the water to lose 9 HP, he starts the battle with at least 5 HP, and his only options are attacking and defending.
| |
| *If Lord Crump is frozen or put to sleep during the second phase of his third fight (on [[Keelhaul Key]]), he will not board the X-Nauts as they perform their giant ball attack, but the attack will work as normal.
| |
| *The beginning of Lord Crump's theme (titled "Invasion of the X-Nauts!" in the remake) uses the death soundbit from the {{wp|Atari 2600}} version of ''{{wp|Pac-Man (Atari 2600)|Pac-Man}}''.
| |
| **In the original game, his theme only plays during two cutscenes in Chapter 2. In the remake, it also plays while speaking to him in the post-Chapter 5 Bowser intermission and during the cut to the X-Nauts in Poshley Heights when Mario reads Goombella's email at the end of the game.
