'''Pattans''' are miniature [[Whomp]]s that appear in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', being similar to [[Thwimp]]s in that they are smaller versions of an already existing species that attempts to crush the player. Unlike normal Whomps, they only have one tooth, their faces are flatter, they have square, arm-less hands, and they are less rectangular. They only appear in the [[Throwback Galaxy]] mission [[Return of the Whomp King]]. They help the [[Whomp King]] in his battle against the player. In the second and third phases of the Whomp King battle, the king will stomp a foot to make three (five in the third battle phase) Pattans break off from the ground. After that, the Pattans will instantly start chasing after the player.
