|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!

'''Bristles''' are spiked monsters made of rock and are found in the game ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. Similar to [[Cleft]]s, Bristles have spiked tops, high defense, an immunity to fire attacks, and can be flipped over by an earthquake or an explosion. Unlike Clefts, Bristles do not lose their top-spiked defense when flipped and are also immune to close-range attacks like [[Gulp]] and [[Mario]]'s [[Hammer]], as their large spears pop out to protect against approachers. Bristles will not pop out their spears if paralyzed (i.e. [[asleep]], [[frozen]], or [[immobilized]]), but they are still immune to direct contact moves such as [[Ms. Mowz]]'s [[Kiss Thief]] like with [[Pokey]]s.

Unlike Clefts, Bristles do not lose their top-spiked defense when flipped and are also immune to close-range attacks like [[Gulp]] and [[Mario]]'s [[Hammer]], as their large spears pop out to protect against approachers (even when the Bristle is [[asleep]]).
Despite their copious defenses, Bristles have very low HP and are easily taken out with items (e.g. [[POW Block]], [[Earth Quake]], [[Ice Storm]]), [[Superguard]]s, or Special Moves (e.g. [[Earth Tremor]]). Mario is also capable of simply hammering them should he have the [[Spike Shield]] [[badge]] equipped, though without attack-increasing badges, [[Piercing Blow]], or the [[Ultra Hammer]], it will do no damage.

Although Bristles have made no appearances outside of ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'', they are mentioned in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]''. Before the Mario Bros. learn the [[Bros. Ball]] move, [[Toadsworth the Younger]] tells his [[Toadsworth|older self]] that he "looks like he has a Bristle in his britches".
