Hyper Cleft

A Hyper Cleft is a sub-species of Clefts first encountered in Paper Mario at Gusty Gulch. The only real physical difference between a Hyper Cleft and a normal Cleft is that Hyper Clefts are green in color and have purple shoes and eyes. Hyper Clefts are also capable of charging their attacks to do a ton of damage. They are also spiked so jumping on them will not work.

Hyper Clefts reappear in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, this time in the Twilight Region.

 * Tattle: This is a Hyper Cleft. Hyper Clefts have more defense power thannormal. They sometimes charge their power before attacking. That charged attack will take away 8 HP, so watch out when they start to glow. It'll miss you if you can become transparent. Their defense power will fall to 1 if you use an explosion to flip 'em over. And in case you hadn't noticed, they have spikes up top! It'll hurt if you jump on 'em.

 * Tattle: That's a Hyper Cleft. It's basically a Cleft that uses charged-up moves. Max HP is 4, Attack is 3, and Defense is 3. When it charges up, its attack power rises to 9. Couple its rock-hardness with its ability to charge up... and things get scary. If you're confident, you may wanna try doing Superguards to send its attacks back... If you can't, you'd better use some items, or you'd better hightail it out of here.
 * Tattle Number: 82.
 * Tattle Log: A hyperactive Cleft that uses charge moves to boost its Attack power to 9.
