A portrait of King Croacus I

King Croacus I, also known as the Iron Rose, was the first king of the Floro Sapiens from Super Paper Mario. His existence and history is told by his painting. The Floro Sapiens regard him as their greatest king, since he united them all into the Flora Kingdom. He created the Flora Calendar and set the capital at the Floro Caverns. His nickname, the Iron Rose, comes from his heavy armor and deadly thorns. However, the wilting of his son in the Flora year 444 changed his mentality. He became corrupt, a period referred to as "The Darkening", at which point, his daughter staged a coup d'état and took over the Floro Sapiens. He ruled from the Flora Calendar's year 1 to year 496. His dying words were stated to be "The Iron Rose shan't wither!"
