This article is about the bestiary of the Nintendo Switch remake. For the bestiary of the original game, see Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door bestiary.

The Tattle Log menu

The following is a bestiary for all enemies as encountered in the Nintendo Switch remake of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. Please note that some of these enemies are variations of a single enemy, were fought in a grouped-battle, or had several battles where the enemy had a different stat-spread or form. For convenience, these variations are listed as separate enemies. This bestiary also serves as the Tattle Log, providing all Tattle information provided by Goombella and records of enemies in the Tattle Log in-game. All enemies are listed in the order they appear in the game.

Legend

• Name: The name of the enemy.
• HP: The enemy's HP at the start of the battle.
• Attack: The enemy's general attack power, as listed in Goombella's Tattle. Some enemies have several attacks that inflict different attack powers.
• Defense: The enemy's defense.
• Level: The enemy's level. If the enemy's level exceeds Mario's level, Mario will earn additional Star Points from it.
• Exp. points: The basic amount of EXP gained from the enemy (having a lower level than the enemy increases the EXP gained).
• Status Ailments: The chances of the enemy being afflicted with a status effect successfully.
  • Sleep?: The chances of the enemy falling asleep with Sleepy Sheep or Sleepy Stomp.
  • Dizzy?: The chances of the enemy becoming dizzy with Dizzy Dial, or Tease.
  • Confuse?: The chances of the enemy becoming confused with Infatuate, Ruin Powder, or Head Rattle
  • Shrink?: The chances of the enemy becoming shrunk with Shrink Stomp, Mini-Egg, or Mini Mr. Mini.
  • Stop?: The chances of the enemy becoming immobilized with Stopwatch or Emerald Star's Clock Out.
  • Soft?: The chances of the enemy becoming softened with Mr. Softener or Soft Stomp.
  • Burn?: The chances of the enemy becoming burned with Shade Fist, Fiery Jinx, or Fire Drive.
  • Freeze?: The chances of the enemy becoming frozen with Ice Storm or Ice Smash.
• Fright?: The chances of the enemy running away with the Fright Mask.
• Gale Force?: The chances of the enemy being blown away from the battlefield with Flurrie's Gale Force.
• KO?: The chances of the enemy being instantly defeated with Garnet Star's Showstopper

Notes on Enemies

• Any fire based enemy will regain HP when attacked by a fire-based move (e.g. Vivian's fire moves, or a Fire Flower), and possibly even multiply. Similarly, any ice based enemy (e.g. Ice Puffs or Frost Piranhas) will regain HP when hit by an Ice Storm or ice based attack, but thunder based enemies are a special case: Dark Puffs will not be healed by a Thunder Bolt or a Thunder Rage; they will take damage as normal, but Ruff Puffs will be healed. A Frost Piranha's bite is not considered an ice-based attack - it is a non-elemental attack that can inflict Frozen. This can be observed if they are Confused; they will still damage each other.
• Fuzzies, Swoopulas, Swampires, Bandits, Big Bandits, and Badge Bandits cannot steal HP or items if the player wears Zap Tap.
• If Bulky Bob-ombs or Bob-ulks are attacked with an explosion, lightning or any fire-based attack except Shade Fist, it will set off a chain reaction of explosions. Shade Fist is an exception because it is not actually a fire-based attack - it is a non-elemental attack that causes the Burn status if the Action Command is correctly performed. This Burn status, however, will set off the explosion at the end of the turn.

Tattle Log #: 1	Log	The underling of underlings. No other distinguishing characteristics.
	Tattle	That's a Goomba. Umm... Yeah, I'm one of those, in case you hadn't noticed. Ahem... It says here, "Goombas are underlings of underlings. No standout features to note." That's totally rude! Maximum HP is 2. Attack power is 1, and their Defense is 0. Oh... I kinda get the "underling" thing now.

Paragoomba

Tattle Log #: 2	Log	A Goomba with wings. Can't reach it with a hammer while it's in the air, but if you jump on it or squish it down, its wings get clipped. It's kind of sad, really.
	Tattle	That's a Paragoomba. Basically a Goomba with wings. I'm jealous! Maximum HP is 2, Attack is 1, and Defense is 0. You can't hammer it while it's flying, but rough it up with a jump, and it'll totally plummet! If it loses its wings, does it become a regular Goomba for the rest of its life? No one ever talks about this!

Spiky Goomba

Tattle Log #: 3	Log	A Goomba that wears a spiked helmet. Slightly higher Attack power than a typical Goomba.
	Tattle	That's a Spiky Goomba. A spiky-headed Goomba. What a creative name. Maximum HP is 2, Attack is 2, and Defense is 0. Guess that spike helps boost its Attack compared to the average Goomba. The addition of the spike means you'll hurt your feet if you jump on it. Duh!

Goomboard
	Max HP	N/A	Attack	0	Defense	0
	Location(s)	Rogueport, Petalburg, The Great Tree, Glitzville, Twilight Town, Keelhaul Key, Riverside Station, Fahr Outpost	Role	Training	Level	0

Tattle Log #: 10	Log	This Goomboard was handmade by the Battle Master for training purposes. It's so sturdy, not even Bowser could splinter it! At least, not on the first try.
	Tattle	That's a Goomboard! It's...a Goomba drawn on a board. I think the master made this. He's surprisingly talented! It's...unclear what its Max HP is. No Attack or Defense either. This thing is STURDY though! It won't break no matter how hard you hit it, so don't hold anything back!

Spinia

	Location(s)	Rogueport Underground, Glitz Pit, Pit of 100 Trials (Levels 2, 4, 7, 9)	Role	Common	Level	7

	Exp. points	0	Coins	0 - 1	Items	Mushroom, Pretty Lucky P, Sleepy Sheep
Tattle Log #: 49	Log	A strange creature made of thin, papery boards. Still a completely mysterious species.
	Tattle	That's a Spinia. A totally weird creature made of thin, papery boards. It certainly looks unique. Nobody knows much about these creatures, actually. Max HP is 3, Attack is 1, and Defense is 0. Its attacks are super swift, but it should be pretty easy. Just give it a "Hee-YAAA!"

	Gale Force?	60%	KO?	50%	Moves	Spear Throw (3); Spear Charge (3)
	Exp. points	0	Coins	N/A	Items	None
Tattle Log #: 44	Log	A super-annoying guy with a big pointy spear that he tends to throw at people. Some people think he's a bunch of sass talk, but he's tough.
	Tattle	That's Gus. He's super annoying and tries to take tolls from everyone. Max HP is 20, Attack is 3, and Defense is 0. All in all, he's pretty tough. Oh, and I'm sure it's super obvious... but that pointy spear of his hurts if you stomp on it. I wonder if this guy watches people pass 365 days a year. Talk about a workaholic.

Blooper
	Max HP	12	Attack	1	Defense	0

	Gale Force?	0%	KO?	0%	Moves	Ink Blast (1)
	Exp. points	0	Coins	50	Items	None
Tattle Log #: 101	Log	A giant, squidlike thing that attacks with its ink and tentacles. Based on its dialect, it may come from the western sea.
	Tattle	That's a Blooper...and a really super-humongous one too! EWWWWW! It's all slimy! I just totally can't STAND slimy, nasty, icky things. G-R-O-S-S, gross! Max HP is 12, Attack is 1, and Defense is 0. It attacks with tentacles and ink. Once you damage both its tentacles, it'll fall down... And then it's attack time! By the way, the tentacles each have 3 HP. Now relax and make seafood out of that slimy, nasty Blooper!

Tattle Log #: 11	Log	Koopa Troopas have been around forever. Jump on them to flip them over and drop their Defense to 0.
	Tattle	That's a Koopa Troopa. They've been around forever! Gotta respect the longevity! Max HP is 4, Attack is 2 and Defense is 1. Their shells are hard, but flip them over and their Defense drops to 0. And you know how to flip them over, right? Yep! Jumps and POW Blocks! So get in there and get stomping!

Bald Cleft
	Max HP	2	Attack	1	Defense	2
	Location(s)	Shhwonk Fortress	Role	Common	Level	12
	Sleep?	50%	Dizzy?	50%	Confuse?	50%

	Exp. points	0	Coins	5	Items	None
Tattle Log #: 80	Log	Basically a rock monster with a sharp, craggy face. It attacks by charging, and is impervious to fire.
	Tattle	That's a Bald Cleft. Basically, a rock monster with a sharp, craggy face. Uh... This is kind of mean, but bald guys... really just don't do it for me. Max HP is 2, Attack is 1, and Defense is 2. Yeah. This guy is rock solid. Fire doesn't even hurt it. It might be best to attack with, say... a POW Block.

Bristle

	Sleep?	40%	Dizzy?	40%	Confuse?	40%

	Exp. points	0	Coins	5	Items	None
Tattle Log #: 87	Log	A petrified, spine-covered monster that attacks by charging at you and is impervious to fire. If you approach, its spikes will pop out and poke you.
	Tattle	That's a Bristle. Totally covered in spikes. They're so prickly! Max HP is 2, Attack is 1, and Defense is 4. AND they're impervious to fire. Even trying to get close enough to whack it with a hammer is dangerous! Seriously, its spikes will totally pop out! So, since you can't jump on it or use your hammer... you'd better use an item!
