The '''Wind 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 Wind Crystal is offensively the weakest of all the crystals, but has massive physical defense, making it take far longer to defeat than the others.

The Wind Crystal has mainly electrical-based attacks, such as [[Bolt (move)|Bolt]], [[Electroshock]], [[Lightning Orb]] and [[Static Electricity]]. It also has two attacks that may inflict status effects on Mario and his party. [[Petal Blast]] causes the entire party to transform into mushrooms, which prevents any party member from attacking or using an item, but heals a small amount of HP each turn.

The Wind Crystal is also armed with the [[Light Bubble]] attack, which leaves the party under the sleep status. Once defeated, the Wind Crystal will disappear like the other three crystals until the battle ends.

It is weak against [[Jump]]ing attacks, making it the only crystal susceptible to physical rather than special attacks.

In the [[Nintendo Switch]] [[Super Mario RPG (Nintendo Switch)|remake]], the Wind 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 '''Wind Crystal 3D''', as well as the other crystals and its master. In this form, defeating it causes it to use [[Nimble Force]] before shattering, giving all its allies a speed boost.
