 ==History==
-As explained by the residents there, Hooktail terrorized [[Petalburg]] for a long time, devouring many of its residents. Those who tried to stop her were ultimately devoured as well, including [[Kolorado]]'s [[Kolorado's father|father]] and [[Koopley]]. However, her victims discovered that her weakness was [[Attack FX R|cricket chirps]], noting that she became nauseated and weakened upon hearing them.

-When [[Mario]] visited the [[Thousand-Year Door]] and held the [[Magical Map]] aloft, the map revealed that the [[Diamond Star]] was located in Hooktail Castle. After progressing through it, it is revealed that Hooktail is the guardian of the [[Crystal Star]], and Mario battles her to retrieve it. Wearing the Attack FX R badge in the battle against her will progressively weaken her attacks, making the battle much easier.

-Upon defeat, she tries to bargain with the player. She at first offers 1,000 [[coin]]s, then a "Really Ultra Rare Badge", and finally a chance to sniff her feet. All three are false offers, and she will attack the player if they accept any of them. After this, she eats some of the [[audience]] members, healing her by 10 HP and causing the rest of the audience to run away. Mario then defeats her, and she coughs up the missing Koopley after fainting. He then rewards Mario with the Diamond Star, which was trapped inside her gut.
