A '''X-Yux''' (pronounced "Cross-Yux" instead of "Ex-Yux") is an upgrade of the original [[Yux]] found in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. It is the one guard of Grodus' that he trusts to protect his personal room in the fortress. Also, if Mario answers three questions wrong to the [[Thwomp]] in the fortress, he will send out two X-Yuxes to attack Mario. It spawns two [[Mini-X-Yux]] each round, up to a maximum of four per X-Yux. As always, it's invincible while Mini-X-Yux are surrounding it. When an X-Yux is surrounded by four Mini-X-Yux, it shoots five beams at [[Mario]] and his partner. For an easier battle, it is advised to obtain the [[Badge#Feeling Fine|Feeling Fine]] badges from the crane room before fighting the X-Yux, as it protects against most status ailments including Immobilized.


The X-Yuxes, as with the rest of the Yux family, are notable in that their beam attacks pierce all Defend Plus and Damage Dodge badges that Mario and his partner have equipped. This means that full damage will be taken if no guard is performed, and only 1 damage will be blocked with a regular Guard, no matter what. However, the Superguard will, as always, prevent all damage. The Immobilization side effect of the beams can even pierce through a Guard, so one should attempt to [[Superguard]] against this foe whenever possible.
'''X-Yux''' is an upgrade of the original [[Yux]] found in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'' and its [[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Nintendo Switch)|Nintendo Switch remake]].

Although X-Yux is to be read "Cross-Yux", Goombella uses the word "an" before saying the creature's name, indicating that she is pronouncing it as "Ex-Yux".

Variant of Yux

X-Yux is an upgrade of the original Yux found in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door and its Nintendo Switch remake. According to Goombella, its name is pronounced "Cross-Yux" instead of "Ex-Yux", although she opens her tattle with "That's an X-Yux", suggesting that she used the incorrect pronunciation before reading the correction.

A solitary X-Yux is used as the guard of Grodus' room in the X-Naut Fortress. Additionally, if three questions of the 66th Trivia Quiz-Off are answered incorrectly, the player will have to face two X-Yux. In battle, a X-Yux spawns two Mini-X-Yux each round, up to a maximum of four per X-Yux. As such, it is invincible while Mini-X-Yux are surrounding it. When a X-Yux is surrounded by four Mini-X-Yux, it shoots five beams at Mario and his partner. They will likely be immobilized, being set up for an endless combo, and thus preventing retaliation.

The X-Yuxes, as with the rest of the Yux family, are notable in that their beam attacks pierce all Defend Plus and Damage Dodge badges that Mario and his partner have equipped. This means that their attacks and immobilization can only be defended against with the use of Guards and Superguards.
