| That's a Dark Bristle. It's an ancient creature made of rock. You can't Jump on it because of its spikes, and you can't approach due to its spears. AND its Defense is high. You'd better take it out with special attacks or items.

The Dark Bristle is a more powerful version of the Bristle fought in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. Dark Bristles are only found in the Pit of 100 Trials, on levels 81-89.
The Quake Hammer badge is incredibly useful against these enemies. It will flip them over for two turns, dropping their Defense to 0 and making them utterly defenseless. Also, if Mario is wearing the Spike Shield badge, they will not extend their spears to poke him if he readies his hammer. Being stomped with Spike Shield also works, as does the Star Power Earth Tremor. Clock Out is also a useful tool when facing Dark Bristles; when it's used they are unable to attack or extend spikes.
