Spunia
Sprite from Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door
First appearance	Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (2004)
Latest appearance	Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Nintendo Switch) (2024)
Variant of	Spinia

Spunias are a more powerful variant of Spinias found in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. Spunias resemble pink Spinias and possess spikes like Spanias. They have fangs coming out of their mouths. Spunias are mainly found in the Pit of 100 Trials on floors 81-89, and one is found in the Rogueport Underground in a Spania-infested room that can only be visited after Chapter 5, making it the deepest enemy in the Pit of 100 Trials that can be fought above the pit, barring Amazy Dayzee. In the original game, the Spunia is on a small platform, which prevents it from spinning into Mario. In the Nintendo Switch remake however, it inhabits the lower elevation of the room, moving and spinning in sync with four Spanias. Spunias are the strongest version of Spinias, having a large amount of HP and attack power, as well as being far stronger than its relatives. They also have defense, unlike their relatives, Spania and Spinia.
