'''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.
'''Spanias''' are a species of [[Spinia]]s that are found in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'' and ''[[Super Paper Mario]]''. Unlike most groups of related species, Spanias are not stronger or weaker than the main species; instead, the only differences between them and Spinias are their brown colouration and the spikes on their head. Their name may be a pun on "Spaniard", since their appearance slightly resembles a bull; "Spania" is also the Nowergian and Romanian name for the country of Spain.
==History==
===''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door''===
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.
Since they have spikes, Spanias cannot be jumped on. They attack by dashing and spinning in order to ram [[Mario]] and co. Although they are rather weak, they move very fast, and their charges can be tricky to [[Guard|block]] or dodge. Two Spanias also appear in Chapter 3 of ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'', as a member of the [[Glitz Pit]] team the [[Destructors]] who serve as a brief replacement for [[Bandy Andy]] and the [[Hand-It-Overs]], who "retired".
Spanias mostly live in underground places such as [[Rogueport Sewers]], the [[Pit of 100 Trials (Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door)|Pit of 100 Trials]] in [[Rogueport]], the [[Floro Caverns]], [[Castle Bleck]] and the [[Flipside Pit of 100 Trials]]. They are the only kind of Spinia that appear in ''Super Paper Mario'', along with a new species called a [[Dark Spania]], which is a stronger, pitch black version of Spanias that is only found in the [[Flopside Pit of 100 Trials]].


===''Super Paper Mario''===
==''Super Paper Mario'' Stats and Information==
In ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'', Spanias return, unlike the rest of the Spinia family. They appear in [[Floro Caverns]], [[Castle Bleck]], and the [[Flipside Pit of 100 Trials]], with a new, stronger type called [[Dark Spania]] appearing in the [[Flopside Pit of 100 Trials]]. Due to Spanias being three-dimensional, [[Flip]]ping into 3D does not prevent Spanias from attacking the player.
