Talk:Culex
What about the Crystal's that aid Culex in battle. Shouldn't there be an page on those, or at least include them with Culex. My Bloody Valentine
- Also, is Culex evil, or good? My Bloody Valentine
Neutral. -- Sir Grodus
- Thanks :) My Bloody Valentine
I belive that he is good acctually because he acts as a good guy after you defeat him. Luigibros2
But wasn't his original plan to take over the world for the Dark Mage? This would make his alignment evil. - Random User (talk)
Why is the HP 4700 listed on Mariowiki? He actually has 4096 HP... Won't somebody correct this? - StoneMonkWisdom
And where does it say he has such a random number as his true amount of health? Hello, I'm Time Turner.
Well, several other sources say 4096, and there's always Mallow's Psychopath special to reveal Culex's Health - StoneMonkWisdom
Name these sources. Hello, I'm Time Turner.
I went ahead and used Psychopath on Culex (VC version), and it did indeed say 4096... WikiGuest 17:05, 19 February 2010 (EST)
In regards to the sources requested, most any walkthrough guide on gamefaqs that mentions Culex inside also state his HP being 4096, then if one looked hard enough, there may be a couple youtube videos of the Culex battle where Mallow uses Psychopath on Culex, or you could watch any and add up the damage total yourself proving to be less than 4700. - StoneMonkWisdom
Battle Music
I have played the original Final Fantasy, and the battle music was incredibly similar to Culex's battle music. Yet, I'm hearing that it is only in Final Fantasy IV. Is that true? My Bloody Valentine
- Yes. All Final Fantasy games have similar battle music, but Culex's is directly from Final Fantasy IV. -- Son of Suns
2D or 3D in the infobox

By now most subjects in Super Mario RPG are being represented by their new 3D models in the remake which I 100% agree with, however Culex is an odd case. I'm proposing we decide whether his 2D sprite or 3D model would fit his infobox best.
Not only is this sprite also used in the remake for the initial battle, I think this is most fitting for Culex's characterization of him literally being a 2D sprite
The 3D model of Culex used for a post-game rematch. Some may consider this the "true look" of Culex, but I'm just a bit iffy on this as I don't think it represents Culex's lore as I mentioned and he even returns to 2D sprite form after the battle.
I'm also including an option to use both images together as we have been doing on several pages around the wiki.

2D Sprite
- Swallow (talk) Preferred choice as stated
- Sparks (talk) Per Swallow. If Culex had been 3D when first encountered, I would've chosen the 3D option. This is his signature look.
- Blhte (talk) per all.
3D Model
Both
Comments
Culex appears mostly as a two-dimensional sprite. He only becomes three-dimensional in his rematch. I will think this over, but I'm currently leaning on the 2D side, although both can symbolize his different appearances. I don't think 3D is the way to go here.

Where's the "split into two pages, treating this like an X boss" option? Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 21:35, November 21, 2023 (EST)
- Why would we do that? It's explicitly, definitively, the same character, just having mastered access to the third dimension. 73.171.104.211 22:02, November 21, 2023 (EST)
