The '''X-Nauts''' is an evil organization led by [[Grodus]] that serves as the main antagonists in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'' and its [[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Nintendo Switch)|Nintendo Switch remake]]. The majority of the operatives are also called [[X-Naut]]s, though there are other classes of soldiers and creatures in Grodus' employ. Many of the footsoldiers are part of the [[X-Nauts (platoon)|X-Naut platoon]]. Their base of operations is the [[X-Naut Fortress]], which is located on the [[moon]]. | The '''X-Nauts''' is an evil organization led by [[Grodus]] that serves as the main antagonists in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'' and its [[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Nintendo Switch)|Nintendo Switch remake]].

All that is known about the X-Nauts stems from their failed plan to conquer the world using a 1,000-year-old demon known as the [[Shadow Queen]]. Grodus somehow came in contact with [[Beldam]], who told him that the Shadow Queen could only be released from her prison if the seven [[Crystal Stars]] were collected, and a vessel provided for her disembodied soul to possess. The X-Nauts kidnapped [[Princess Peach]] to use as the vessel, and [[Mario]] was manipulated into gathering the Crystal Stars in an attempt to save her from her captors. | All that is known about the X-Nauts stems from their failed plan to conquer the world using a 1,000-year-old demon known as the [[Shadow Queen]].

However, Grodus had been misled by the Three Shadows, and when he tried to command the resurrected Shadow Queen to do his bidding, she destroyed his body. Grodus' robotic head, his second-in-command, [[Lord Crump]], and two regular [[X-Naut|X-Naut soldier]]s and two [[Elite X-Naut]]s were last seen in [[Poshley Heights]], as [[TEC]] destroyed their fortress earlier, and reportedly reformed for the better. | However, Grodus had been misled by the Three Shadows, and when he tried to command the resurrected Shadow Queen to do his bidding, she destroyed his body.
