Prior to the start of ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'', Grodus learns of the [[Shadow Queen]] buried beneath Rogueport from the [[Shadow Sirens]].

Grodus soon begins his plans to find the Crystal Stars and use them to revive the Queen in order to conquer the world. He learns the location of three of the Crystal Stars ([[Hooktail Castle]], [[the Great Tree]], and [[Rogueport Sewers]]), and the Shadow Sirens inform him that a "pure maiden" is needed as a host for the Queen. The X-Naut organization eventually comes into possession of the Magic Map's treasure chest, though Grodus was unable to open it. He then decides to use the chest as a way of finding the pure maiden, since only a pure person can open it. | ||

While Mario fights Bowser and Kammy, Grodus escapes to the resting place of the Shadow Queen with Peach. Once Mario defeats Bowser and Kammy, he goes down to the Queen's resting place, where Grodus is waiting. Declaring himself as the new ruler of the world, Grodus summons the Shadow Queen, presenting Peach as a vessel for the Queen's spirit. Unfortunately, when Grodus tries to order the Shadow Queen to destroy Mario, the Shadow Queen does not obey and blasts him, destroying his body and leaving him as merely a head. The Queen attacks him again, apparently finishing him. The Shadow Sirens then appear to explain that they tricked Grodus into thinking that he could control the Queen in order to revive her. | While Mario fights Bowser and Kammy, Grodus escapes to the resting place of the Shadow Queen with Peach.
