Template:Character-infobox Durmite X is a boss the appears in the Gauntlet in Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story and its remake, Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey. It is a stronger variation of Durmite that can only be fought after she has been defeated. Durmite X is Class 1 of the Gauntlet and initially costs 200 coins to fight, with a recommended minimum level of 18; Mario and Luigi have only 5 turns to defeat her. Winning the battle for the first time awards them with 1000 coins in the original, and 600 coins and the Sequel Scarf in the remake.
Durmite X also appears as part of Class 7 with the same stats, fought as the first of its seven bosses.
Battle
Like the other X bosses in the Gauntlet, Durmite X uses the same attack patterns as her base form; she may attack multiple times per turn, with the attacks coming faster and dealing more damage.
Durmite X lines up with Mario or Luigi and pulls back, turning her body segments red before she launches herself straight at the target brother; they must counter the attack using their hammer. The speed at which she turns red varies. Durmite X also spits a sticky string from her snout and sweeps it at the Mario Bros., who must dodge by jumping over the string. If Mario or Luigi are caught, Durmite pulls them into her
mouth, heavily damaging them; she lines up with the other brother and ejects her victim from either her back end or mouth towards them. The former is dodged by jumping, while the latter causes the brother to fly overhead. Being hit by either part of the attack does high damage and potentially inflicts the POW-Down status; if Mario or Luigi is caught and spat out, stomping on them while dodging with the other does no damage. If Durmite X KOs one of the Mario Bros. with the first part of the move, she simply spits them back out.
Every few turns at random, up to three Biffiduses X appear, and attack as regular Biffiduses do: they each point their spears forward and charge at one of the Bros., who can dodge and counter by jumping. If any of the Biffidus X are present during Durmite X's turn, she may eat them all and shoot their spears from her snout at Mario and Luigi, with each spear pointing towards its target; the spears come at a much faster rate, and must be avoided by jumping. As with their base forms, defeating Durmite X with any Biffiduses X present will cause them to jab at her during the defeat animation, with the explosion of stars blowing them off-screen.
Durmite X may produce her proboscis-like straw at the end of any turn after taking damage, and plant it into the battlefield. The straw is now green, and she will heal 80 HP during her next turn and each turn after; destroying the straw prevents Durmite X from healing. Defeating Durmite X with the straw present destroys it before her death animation plays.
