'''Spinias''' are green creatures made of thin, papery discs in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'' and its [[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Nintendo Switch)|Nintendo Switch remake]]. They commonly appear in [[Rogueport Underground]] prior to completing Chapter 5 alongside their later-found spiked version called [[Spania]]s. As their name suggests, they and their attacks are derived from "spinner". Spinias and Spanias are also found in floors 1-10 of the [[Pit of 100 Trials (Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door)|Pit of 100 Trials]], which also features the very powerful [[Spunia]]s. Two Spinias also appear in Chapter 3 where they help make up [[The Destructors]], a [[Glitz Pit]] team who served as a replacement for [[Bandy Andy]] who had "retired". However, The Destructors exit the rankings when Bandy Andy comes back and takes their place.

They commonly appear in Rogueport Underground prior to completing Chapter 5 alongside their later-found spiked version called Spanias. As their name suggests, they and their attacks are derived from "spinner". Spinias and Spanias are also found in floors 1-10 of the Pit of 100 Trials, which also features the very powerful Spunias. Two Spinias also appear in Chapter 3 where they help make up The Destructors, a Glitz Pit team who served as a replacement for Bandy Andy who had "retired".
