'''Cudge''' is a [[Pixl]] in the game ''[[Super Paper Mario]]''. He is the eighth Pixl found in the game. Cudge is used as a [[Hammer]], as his name implies. He can be used to destroy [[yellow blocks]] with eyes or yellow hidden blocks. Interestingly, he notes that he was not always a [[Pixl]], meaning that Pixls might not be an actual species, but just a transformed being. (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.
