Spanias are an orange, spiked variation of Spinias. "Spania" is based on a past tense version of "spin," "span." It may additionally be a reference to the country of Spain due to its spikes somewhat resembling the horns of bulls, which are important in Spanish culture. Since they have spikes, Spanias cannot be jumped on, and like other Spinias, they attack by dashing and spinning to ram Mario and his partners.
History[edit]
Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door[edit]
In Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door and its Nintendo Switch remake, Spanias, like their relatives, are found in Rogueport Underground and floors 1-10 of the Pit of 100 Trials. After Chapter 5 is completed, most of the Spanias in Rogueport Underground are replaced with Koopatrols, Hammer Bros and Magikoopas, though Spanias can still be found in a secret room accessible with Boat Mode. Two Spanias also appear in Chapter 3 as members of the Glitz Pit team The Destructors, who serve as a brief replacement for Bandy Andy and The Hand-It-Overs after they were forcibly "retired." Unlike most groups of related species, Spanias are not stronger or weaker than the main species; instead, the only functional differences between them and Spinias are the spikes on their heads. A stronger, pink version called Spunia also appears.
Unused data reveals what could be another Spania variant (seemingly a rainbow-themed one); this Spania-like creature was supposedly going to be an ally of Luigi, as its sprite could be found next to those of Luigi's other partners.
Super Paper Mario[edit]
In Super Paper Mario, Spanias return, unlike the rest of the Spinia family. They appear in Floro Caverns, Castle Bleck, and the Flipside Pit of 100 Trials, with a new, stronger type called Dark Spania appearing in the Flopside Pit of 100 Trials. Due to Spanias being three-dimensional, Flipping into 3D does not prevent Spanias from attacking the player.
