OK, here we go.....he's listed as a Clubba due to his English name playing off of it. however, the Japanese name of Clubbas is ''Gabon Hei'', meaning "Gabon Soldier," with "Gabon" being Spike. Clubbas also have, well, clubs. Basically, he seems to just be an oddly-colored large Spike, not a Clubba, as he's not a soldier. Clubbas are specified as Spikes with a specific occupation. He lacks said occupation. Ergo, he is a Spike without that occupation. Ergo, not a Clubba. Ergo, just a Spike. Admittedly, his white belly looks like that of a Clubba, but the early Paper Mario games had some pretty odd off-modelness to them, so I imagine that's why Clubbas looked as they did.

:Another thing is that this is not just a naming difference, but basically the [[Clubba#Profiles_and_statistics|official description]] of a Clubba is that of a Spike soldier that wields a spiked club, neither of which apply to Grubba or Tubba Blubba. Additionally, if you look through the [[Gallery:Spike#Sprites and models|Spike gallery]], you'll see there were instances where Spikes had white bellies, so it isn't strictly a species difference.
