Spawny
This article is about a subject in an upcoming or recently released game. When the game is released, or more information about this subject is found, this article may need major rewriting.

Spawny is a Rabbid that appears in Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle. In the Mushroom Kingdom, he is differentiated from other Rabbids by his white muzzle, blue belly, and ears, and the fused SupaMerge headset that covers his eyes. His ability is to fuse other beings with Rabbids, doing so to create the Pirabbid Plant; however, said power is uncontrollable, and activates whenever he's stressed[1].
His name was given to him by Bowser Jr.[2], who sought to use his powers to take over the Mushroom Kingdom. Although he is a major catalyst for the events of the game and forms an alliance with Bowser Jr., it is unknown if Spawny is evil.
History
Spawny started out as an ordinary Rabbid. However, when he and many other Rabbids were transported to an unspecified location, Spawny stole the SupaMerge and used it to fuse other Rabbids with objects, doing so to create Rabbid Peach and Rabbid Mario. When Spawny enters the Mushroom Kingdom however, his appearance is differentiated from the other Rabbids.[3]
Beep-O informs Mario that the SupaMerge had been corrupted upon entering the Mushroom Kingdom, and he agrees to find Spawny. However, just as Mario and co. were about to catch Spawny on a tower overlooking Ancient Gardens, Bowser Jr. appeared and befriended Spawny. Mario and co. traversed the other three worlds and eventually defeated Bowser Jr. in his mech, Mecha Jr., retrieving Spawny in the process. However, the portal over the Mushroom Kingdom released a dragon which captured Spawny and harnessed his power to unleash more beings. Mario and co. ended up defeating the dragon and freeing Spawny and Bowser (who had also been corrupted by the dragon). Spawny is then seen in the pre-credits scene, where he admires the statue erected in honor of Rabbid Peach.
Personality
When he was still a regular Rabbid, Spawny was mischievous, curious, and playful like his fellow Rabbids, while always causing trouble without thinking about the consequences. After his transformation, Spawny became timid, naïve, and childlike. This causes Bowser Jr. to take advantage of him, pretending to be his friend so he could use his abilities. Because his power comes from fear and stress, Spawny has little to no control of his abilities.
Trivia
- Spawny's mask is meant to be a reference to the Studio Ghibli film Castle in the Sky[4].
