'''Clefts''' are animate rock enemies resembling spiked skulls that appear in the ''[[Paper Mario (series)|Paper Mario]]'' series. Their name comes from the word "cleft", which can alternately refer to a crack in a rock or an indentation of the chin, both of which are characteristics of the Clefts. Clefts have a large amount of variant types, all of which are very strong and sturdy and are capable of disguising themselves as ordinary rocks, though they are also easily flipped over with an explosion or the [[Quake Hammer]], rendering them helpless. They pursue and attack [[Mario]] by charging into him, are immune to fire, and, aside from a few variants, have spiked heads preventing him from [[jump]]ing on them.
'''Clefts''' are burly rock monsters that appear in the [[Mario (franchise)|''Paper Mario'' series]]. Their name comes from the word "cleft", which can alternately refer to a crack in a rock or an indentation of the chin, both of which are characteristics of the Clefts. In the first ''Paper Mario'' game, Clefts are brown with red shoes, but in ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'', they are gray with black shoes, while the original coloration is seen in [[Moon Cleft]]s instead.


==History==
Clefts inhabit [[Mt. Rugged]] in ''[[Paper Mario]]'', and [[Boggly Woods]] in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', though their many sub-species can be found in a variety of other areas as well, including the [[Moon]]. In ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'', if three questions of the [[Super Fun Quirk Quiz]] are answered incorrectly, the player will have to face four Clefts. Although regular Clefts don't appear in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'', Moon Clefts do, as well as [[Bald Cleft]]s.
===''Paper Mario''===
In ''[[Paper Mario]]'', Clefts inhabit [[Mt. Rugged]]. They are initially disguised as white rocks on the overworld, but when they detect Mario, they change into a dull brown and gain their features. When encountering one, [[Goombario]]'s [[tattle]] suggests running away if the player finds them too difficult to defeat. Green [[Hyper Cleft]]s inhabit [[Gusty Gulch]] and are additionally capable of [[Charge (move)|charging]] their attacks to boost their power.


===''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door''===
All the species of Clefts have high defense and high attack, and will attack by ramming [[Mario]]. If Mario flips them over with an explosion or a Quake Hammer, their defenseless undersides are exposed to attack. [[Earth Tremor]] does not flip them, but if executed well enough, it can defeat them automatically.
In ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', Clefts inhabit [[Boggly Woods]], and in fitting with its aesthetic, are monochrome. [[Earth Tremor]] does not flip them, but if executed well enough, it can defeat them automatically. Additionally, if three questions of the [[65th Super Fun Quirk Quiz]] are answered incorrectly, the player will have to face four Clefts. The original active coloration of Cleft makes a cameo on a poster in [[Glitzville]], though due to the placement of buildings it is very difficult to see in-game.


Hyper Clefts also return, and several new variants of Clefts are introduced. These are the spikeless [[Bald Cleft]] and [[Hyper Bald Cleft]], which are safe to jump on but still have high defense; the large and nigh-invulnerable [[Iron Cleft]], which can only be defeated with [[Mini-Yoshi|Yoshi]]'s [[Gulp]]; and the [[moon]]-dwelling [[Moon Cleft]], which uses a brighter version of the original coloration for Cleft in ''Paper Mario'' and is said to simply be an ordinary Cleft on the moon, despite also being stronger.

*[[Cleftor]] &ndash; ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''
Clefts appear in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'' in Chapter 5-1, near [[Downtown of Crag]], and in room 71 of the [[Flipside Pit of 100 Trials]]. However, the Western localizations mistakenly refer to them as '''Moon Clefts''', despite them not being found on the moon or in any cosmic locations. Their attack pattern remains the same: they charge at Mario and his allies as soon as they get close enough. They still have the same weakness, as [[Boomer (Super Paper Mario)|Boomer]] can flip them over. They will occasionally drop a [[Cake Mix]] when they are defeated. A shadowy version, called [[Dark Cleft]], appears in the [[Flopside Pit of 100 Trials]].

|tattle=This is a Cleft. Clefts are pretty strong, so you'd better be careful. Their specialty is pretending to be rocks, so watch your step on the mountain. You'll get hurt if you jump on the spikes on their heads. You know, there's courage in running away sometimes...

|tattle=That's a Cleft. A rock-head jerk with spikes on his noggin. What a rocker! Max HP is 2, Attack is 2, and Defense is 2. That hard head is a major pain. Fire doesn't hurt it, but other types of items are pretty effective, usually. If nothing seems to work on it, you can always just run.
