Crystal Bit

Crystal Bits are enemies featured in Paper Mario.

These small ice-based creatures are the faithful servants to the Crystal King. They appear with him wherever he goes and aid him in battle. In the battle with the king, he beings to suck them up and then spit each of them out, dealing 4 damage with each successful attack. Mario can defend against each of these hits. If the crystals are no longer there, the king may sometimes use his attack to resurrect them. Mario can defeat these crystals if he wants too as well. When the Crystal King uses Divide and Conquer, the crystals disappear until the real king is found.
