{{otheruses|the treasure which is just the head of a rubber duck|the full body treasure|Rubber Ugly}}
The '''Paradoxical Enigma''' ({{j|超存在|Chōsonzai|Super Existence}}) is a [[treasure]] in {{p2}}. It is the severed head of a {{w|rubber duck}}, and is found in sublevel 2 of the [[Citadel of Spiders]]. [[Captain Olimar]] thinks this treasure is a great work of art, while paradoxically considering the very similar [[Rubber Ugly]] an atrocity.

==Collecting the treasure==
{{guide}}
This treasure is found in [[Citadel of Spiders#Sublevel 2|sublevel 2]] of the Citadel of Spiders, and may be guarded by [[Fiery Dweevil]]s or [[Yellow Wollywog]]s. Defeat the nearby enemies before collecting the treasure.
