| '''Smorgs''' are small, black, cloud-like enemies with yellow eyes. They appear in [[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door#Chapter 6: 3 Days of Excess|the sixth chapter]] of ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. Later, they collectively form a large entity of the same name, who serves as the chapter boss. Their name is derived from "{{wp|smog}}," based on their dark, cloudy appearance, and possibly "org," short for "organization," referencing their swarming behavior. Their vocabulary consists only of the word "Smorg."

|
| ==History==
| | The '''Smorg''' is the sixth major boss of ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. |
| ===''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door''===
| | |
| Individual Smorgs are first seen at [[Riverside Station]], where they lift the drawbridge to stop the [[Excess Express]] from progressing. [[Mario]] discovers a large group of them hidden within the station, who are trying to conceal a switch controlling the bridge. Mario fends off the Smorgs, causing them to retreat. With that, Mario activates the switch that lowers the bridge, allowing the train to pass. The next day, it is revealed that the Smorgs stowed away on the train and kidnapped the passengers. Mario saves the conductor and the waitress from the Smorgs, which makes them realize that everybody must have been attacked in their sleep. Mario makes his way towards the front of the train on top the train cars to rescue the rest of the passengers. When the Smorgs are cornered on the top of the train, they combine into a large Smorg horde that attacks Mario and his party.
| | This boss does not hold a [[Crystal Stars|Crystal Star]], but it attacks the [[Excess Express]] during the trek to [[Poshley Heights]]. This boss is made up of smaller [[Smorg (species)|Smorgs]]. They are first seen at the [[Riverside Station]], where they lift the drawbridge to stop the train from going far (it is unknown if it is working for [[Shadow Sirens]] to stop [[Mario]] and his teammates from reaching the [[Garnet Star]]). Later on, they stow away on the train and kidnap the passengers. Mario and his teammates fight the Smorgs on the rooftop of the train to rescue the passengers. When they are defeated, they will blow away in the wind and release the passengers. It resembles [[Fuzzy|Fuzzies]]. |

| As a boss, Smorg is made up of massive hordes of individual Smorgs. In the GameCube version of the game, the base is made up of a cluster of magenta Smorgs while black ones consist the external parts of the boss. In the [[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Nintendo Switch)|Nintendo Switch remake]], all of the individual Smorgs are black. At the beginning of the battle, three tentacles, referred to as Smorg Miasmas, surround the main body. Once the tentacles are defeated, the magenta Smorgs making up the base will become exposed (in the Nintendo Switch version, the black Smorgs making up the base will turn magenta), reducing its defense. After Smorg takes a significant amount of damage, the tentacles change shape into a pincer claw, which deals a large amount of damage to Mario and his [[Party member|partner]]. Once defeated, the individual Smorgs blow away in the wind, releasing the passengers. It is the only chapter boss aside from the [[Shadow Queen]] that does not guard a [[Crystal Stars|Crystal Star]].

| |
| In volume 34 of ''[[Super Mario-kun]]'', Smorg takes over the Excess Express and must be defeated by Mario. Unlike in the game, individual Smorgs can already be seen collecting inside the train shortly after Mario boards.
| |
|
| |
|
| When defeated, Smorg is revealed to be a tiny mustached creature that guards the train: he was trying to direct people's attention towards the dust that had accumulated the entire time, resulting in the Smorg monster. The [[Sales Stall]] employee decides to help him by cleaning the train, getting help from Mario as payment for the items he gave to him during the battle.

| ==Trivia==
| |
| *[[Larry]]'s boss fight in ''[[Paper Mario: Color Splash]]'' almost perfectly parallels the Smorgs. They both serve as chapter bosses to obtain the second-to-last major star in the game; instead of guarding the star, however, they are both fought on top of a train prior to the train arriving at the star's location.
| |
| *In Chapter 6, when the Smorgs appear while talking to the Engineer on the Excess Express, they do not cover the right part of the window in the Japanese version.
