'''Spanias''' are an orange, spiked variation of [[Spinia]]s. "Spania" is based on a past tense version of "spin," "span." It may additionally be a reference to the country of {{wp|Spain}} due to its spikes somewhat resembling the horns of bulls, which are important in Spanish culture. Since they have spikes, Spanias cannot be jumped on, and like other Spinias, they attack by dashing and spinning to ram [[Mario]] and his [[partner]]s.

In ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'' and its [[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Nintendo Switch)|Nintendo Switch remake]], Spanias, like their relatives, are found in [[Rogueport Underground]] and floors 1-10 of the [[Pit of 100 Trials (Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door)|Pit of 100 Trials]]. After Chapter 5 is completed, most of the Spanias in Rogueport Underground are replaced with [[Koopatrol]]s, [[Hammer Bro]]s and [[Magikoopa]]s, though Spanias can still be found in a secret room accessible with [[Boat Mode]]. Two Spanias also appear in Chapter 3 as members of the [[Glitz Pit]] team [[The Destructors]], who serve as a brief replacement for [[Bandy Andy]] and [[The Hand-It-Overs]] after they were forcibly "retired." Unlike most groups of related species, Spanias are not stronger or weaker than the main species; instead, the only functional differences between them and Spinias are the spikes on their heads. A stronger, pink version called [[Spunia]] also appears.

[[List of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door pre-release and unused content|Unused data]] reveals what could be another Spania variant (seemingly a rainbow-themed one); this Spania-like creature was supposedly going to be an ally of [[Luigi]], as its sprite could be found next to those of Luigi's other partners.
