Template:Species-infobox Clefts are burly rock monsters that appear in the 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 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 3 questions of the Super Fun Quirk Quiz are answered incorrectly, the player will have to face 4 Clefts.

Their color tends to vary with their environment; in the first Paper Mario game, Clefts are brown, and in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, they are gray.

Clefts and their sub-species generally 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.

Although regular Clefts don't appear in Super Paper Mario, Moon Clefts do, as well as Bald Clefts.
