'''Spanias''' are a species of [[Spinia]]s that are found in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'' and ''[[Super Paper Mario]]''. Unlike most groups of related species, Spanias are not stronger or weaker than the main species; instead, the only differences between them and Spinias are their brown coloration and the spikes on their head. "Spania" is based on the past tense of "spin", "span", and derived from its parent species' name, "Spinia". "Spania" is also the Norwegian and Romanian name for the country of Spain. | '''Spanias''' are a species of [[Spinia]]s that are found in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'' and ''[[Super Paper Mario]]''.

Since they have spikes, Spanias cannot be jumped on. They attack by dashing and spinning in order to ram [[Mario]] and his partners. Two Spanias also appear in Chapter 3 of ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'', as a member of the [[Glitz Pit]] team the [[Destructors]] who serve as a brief replacement for [[Bandy Andy]] and the [[Hand-It-Overs]], who "retired". | Since they have spikes, Spanias cannot be jumped on.
