TheEarth Crystal is an enemy encountered in battle alongside the optional bossCulex inSuper Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars. Like Culex and the other crystals, they are from the dimension ofVanda and met in a portal leading to that world found inMonstro Town.
The Earth Crystal has the highest amount of HP out of all of the four crystals, but balances out with a dismal defense of 70.
Despite being the crystal of earth, it has only two earth-based attacks,Boulder andSand Storm. It also wieldsStorm andWater Blast. It finishes up with the moveBlast.
It is weak against Thunder-based attacks.
In theNintendo Switchremake, the Earth Crystal initially returns in the Culex boss fight where it retains its two-dimensional 16-bit appearance, offering a stark contrast to the game's revamped and updated 3D graphics. However, a post-game rematch gives it a full model, calledEarth Crystal 3D, as well as the other crystals and its master. In this form, defeating it causes it to useValor Force before shattering, giving all its allies a defense boost.
