'''X-Nauts''' are soldiers | '''X-Nauts''' are soldiers that work for [[Sir Grodus]] and [[Lord Crump]] of the [[X-Nauts (organization)|X-Nauts]]; they all appear in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. 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 | In battle, they 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-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. | X-Nauts also appear as members of the [[Audience]] during some battles.

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. An X-Naut made a cameo appearance on the ''[[Nintendo Monopoly]]'' board. | |||
