A '''Moon Cleft''' is a very powerful sub-species of [[Cleft]]s found in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', during Chapter 7 (that is to say on the [[Moon]], as their name implies). These moon-dwelling enemies have insanely high stats but are easy to beat when an explosion, preferably from [[Bobbery]], flips them over, lowering their Defense down to 0. Like their relatives, they disguise themselves as rocks, but they reveal their true form when [[Mario]] comes close enough. Moon Clefts attack by charging at their opponents, and cannot be stomped because of their spikes.


They return in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'' in Chapter 5-1, near [[Downtown of Crag]]. Their attack pattern remains the same: they charge at [[Mario]] and his allies as soon as they get close enough. But they also still have the same weakness, as [[Boomer]] can flip them over.

These Clefts have high statistics but are easy to beat when an explosion, such as from [[Admiral Bobbery]], flips them over, lowering their Defense down to 0.

Moon Clefts are a very powerful lunar species of Clefts found in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. Aside from the increase of power, they look and act nearly identically to normal Clefts. Moon Clefts are found during the portion of Chapter 7 that takes place on the moon. These Clefts have high statistics but are easy to beat when an explosion, such as from Admiral Bobbery, flips them over, lowering their Defense down to 0. Like their relatives, they disguise themselves as rocks, but they reveal their true form when Mario comes close enough. Moon Clefts attack by charging at their opponents, and cannot be stomped because of their spikes. This enemy has colors similar to a normal Cleft from Paper Mario, whereas those are pale gray in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door in fitting with the color scheme of Boggly Woods. Their tattle also states them to simply be a basic Cleft found on the moon. They have the highest defense power in the game, alongside Chain Chomps and Elite Wizzerds.
