| '''X-Nauts''' are soldiers of the [[X-Nauts (organization)|eponymous organization]] that are under the command of [[Sir Grodus]] and [[Lord Crump]] in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'' and [[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Nintendo Switch)|its remake]]. They are short and individually weak, but rush to defend their leader, Lord Crump, if he is threatened; [[X-Nauts (platoon)|a large army of X-Nauts]] (exceeding any count of X-Nauts seen where they are standard enemies) is often summoned by Lord Crump. It is unknown what is behind their uniform, as they do not show their true appearance, just like a [[Shy Guy]].

| X-Nauts are known in a pre-release English localization of ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'' as '''Boomer Gangers'''.<ref>{{cite|author=Skawo|date=July 19, 2011|url=youtu.be/VDMEQrZ92IA?t=25m47s|title=<nowiki>[TCRF]</nowiki> Paper Mario 2 - Entire Demo Footage|publisher=YouTube|accessdate=April 8, 2012}}</ref> | | In recent years X-Nauts have been featured in two sci-fi TV shows: "[[Starship X-Naut]]" and (presumably) "[[The Grodus Chronicles]]." There have been many seasons of Starship X-Naut, and the show is a favorite of geeks such as [[Francis]]. Apparently, he favors people who would dump somebody over a conversation about the propulsion system of the spaceship. |

| ===''Paper Mario'' series===
| |
| ====''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door''====
| |

| |
| In battle, X-Nauts attack by charging into Mario or jumping on top of him. They can also use potions to heal each other or make themselves huge; increasing their Attack. They also appear in [[Bowser]]'s platforming levels, where they attack by charging at Bowser if they spot him.
| |
|
| |
|
| Several X-Nauts are encountered in [[the Great Tree]] as they and Crump search for the [[Emerald Star]]. The remaining X-Nauts are forced to retreat once Crump is defeated. Also, some are encountered in the [[X-Naut Fortress]], including [[X-Naut PhD]]s and [[Elite X-Naut]]s. At least four X-Nauts aside from Crump remain by the end of the game, and are shown in the ending sequence: A regular X-Naut soldier, an X-Naut PhD, and two Elite X-Nauts.
| | * '''X-Naut Troopers''' are the lesser X-Nauts, also the weakest. These types of X-Nauts are field troops and the lowest of Grodus' underlings. When led by high-ranking commanders, such as Lord Crump, they can use more attacks. |
| | * '''[[Elite X-Naut]]s''' |
| | * '''[[X-Naut PhD]]s''' |
|
| |
|
| X-Nauts also appear as members of the [[Audience]] during some battles. They typically throw rocks at Mario if the battle drags for too long or if Mario receives contact damage and/or his attack deals no damage. | | == Notable X-Nauts == |

|
| ====''Super Paper Mario''====
| | * [[Grodus]] - ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'' |
| According to ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'', X-Nauts have been featured in two sci-fi TV shows: ''[[Starship X-Naut]]'' and ''[[The Grodus Chronicles]]'' (the latter of which is only known to have featured one X-Naut whose lover had dumped him). There have been many seasons of ''Starship X-Naut'', and the show is a favorite of geeks such as [[Francis]]. Apparently, he favors people who would dump somebody over a conversation about the propulsion system of the X-Nauts' spaceship on the show.

| ===''Super Mario Run''===
| | *'''HP:''' 4 |
| Two X-Nauts had a minor cameo in ''[[Super Mario Run]]'' (ver. 3.2.0) on promotional artwork in the game during its celebration of the release of ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Nintendo Switch)|Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'' ([[Nintendo Switch]]), though their presence on the in-game alert for the event was their only appearance in the game.
| | *'''Attack:''' 3 |
| | *'''Defense:''' 0 |
| | *'''Locations:''' [[X-Naut Fortress]], [[The Great Tree]] |
| | *'''Tattle Number:''' 107 |
| | *'''Tattle Log:''' A foot soldier that uses potions and attacks by ramming. This X-Naut is the lowest of Grodus's underlings. |
| | *'''Tattle:''' That's an X-Naut. Says here it's classified as an `enemy combatant'. This description stinks... You think it means they're just low-level foot soldiers? Max HP is 4, Attack is 3 and Defense is 0. They drink these potions that make them all big and burly and they attack! One's easy, but if there's two or more, better watch out! Use special moves and items! |
| | *'''Items:''' [[Dizzy Dial]], [[Stopwatch]] |

| | *'''Location:''' [[Keelhaul Key]] |
| | *'''Tattle:''' That's an X-Naut platoon. Crump commands them all. Where'd they come from? Their Max HP depends on their condition, but Attack is 5 and Defense is 0. They're gonna come at us with coordinated group maneuvers, I'm sure. ...But they're pretty wimpy, so we should be able to handle it, don'tcha think? |

| ==Trivia==
| |
| *Due to the lack of voice acting in ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'', the pronunciation of "X-Naut" is unknown. It may be pronounced like the letter "X", which is supported by [[Goombella]]'s [[tattle]]s using the article "an" and by [[Koops]] saying "tissues... to the extreme" (i.e. phonetically "ex snot") when first meeting [[Punio]]. However, it can also be pronounced "cross", as suggested by Goombella's tattle on [[X-Yux]], in which case it may be a play on noughts and crosses, an alternative name for {{wp|tic-tac-toe}}.
