'''Cudge''' is a [[Pixl]] in the game ''[[Super Paper Mario]]''. He is the eighth Pixl found in the game. His name is a pun on "cudgel", referring to a blunt weapon such as a [[Hammer]], which Cudge manifests in the user's hands to replace actual Hammers featured in past ''[[Paper Mario (series)|Paper Mario]]'' games. Cudge can be used to destroy both easily seen or camouflaged [[yellow block]]s. He notes that he was not always a [[Pixl]], meaning that Pixls might not be an actual species, but just transformed beings. (Indeed, [[Carson]] reveals in one of his many stories that Pixls are created through putting the spirit of an unknown entity into a man-made vessel designed for a certain purpose.) This [[Catch Card]] description may be referring to this when it says "he's a real people Pixl", or it may be referring to him having good social abilities.

Cudge is a Pixl in the game Super Paper Mario. He is the eighth Pixl found in the game, and one of the twelve original Pixls created by the Ancients. His name comes from "cudgel", referring to a blunt weapon such as a Hammer, which Cudge manifests in the user's hands to replace actual Hammers featured in past Paper Mario games. Cudge can be used to destroy both easily seen or camouflaged yellow blocks. He notes that he was not always a Pixl, meaning that Pixls might not be an actual species, but just transformed beings. (Indeed, Carson reveals in one of his many stories that Pixls are created through putting the spirit of an unknown entity into a man-made vessel designed for a certain purpose.) This Catch Card description may be referring to this when it says "he's a real people Pixl", or it may be referring to him having good social abilities.
