The '''Water Crystal''' is an enemy encountered in battle alongside the optional boss [[Culex]] in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]''. Like Culex and the other crystals, it is from the dimension of [[List of implied locations#Vanda|Vanda]] and met in a portal leading to that world found in [[Monstro Town]].

The Water Crystal is the second weakest crystal. While wielding decent Defense, its Magic Attack and Magic Defense are still lower than that of the [[Fire Crystal]].

It uses mostly ice-based moves, namely [[Ice Rock]], [[Blizzard (Super Mario RPG)|Blizzard]], [[Crystal (move)|Crystal]] and [[Solidify]], as well as the non-elemental [[Diamond Saw]].

Its only weakness are Fire-based attacks.

In the [[Nintendo Switch]] [[Super Mario RPG (Nintendo Switch)|remake]], the Water Crystal initially returns in the Culex boss fight where it retains its two-dimensional 16-bit appearance, offering a stark contrast to the game's revamped and updated 3D graphics. However, a post-game rematch gives it a full model, called '''Water Crystal 3D''', as well as the other crystals and its master. In this form, defeating it causes it to use [[Magic Force]] before shattering, giving all its allies a magic boost.

==Notes==
*All four of the Crystals originally appeared in ''{{wp|Final Fantasy (video game)|Final Fantasy}}'' and featured prominently in ''{{wp|Final Fantasy IV}}'', from which Culex's theme music comes.
*''[[Paper Mario]]'', [[list of Paper Mario pre-release and unused content#Early iterations|which was conceived as a sequel]], has the [[Crystal Bit]]s serving much the same purpose and appearance alongside the [[Crystal King]].
