Craw-Daddy

""Foolish mortals...I shall drag you through the gate to the Netherworld!""

- Craw-Daddy

Craw-Daddy, a.k.a. The Dark Gatekeeper, is a fighter in Glitzville found in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. The group consists of a single Dark Craw. He is ranked fourth in the Glitz Pit, below Hamma, Bamma, & Flare but above The Fuzz. That is, until The Great Gonzales knocks him out of fourth into fifth.

Since Craw-Daddy uses his spear to attack, Mario is not able to jump on him without getting hurt - unless he has the Spike Shield. Instead, Mario must rely heavily on hammer attacks or using items. Although he has no defense, he makes it up with high amounts of health and powerful attacks.

Like all Dark Craws, he has red eyes and dark-blue skin, as well as a brown vest and bandana and a red handkerchief clothing compared to the green and tan clothing that regular Craws wear.
