==Trivia==
*[[Yoshi Kid]]'s [[Gulp]] provides the only known way to defeat the Armored Harriers. It is effective even when one Iron Cleft remains. If [[Grubba]] (or [[Jolene]]) asked the player not to use any [[FP]], or not to let the partner attack, that would make victory impossible for that particular match. It is unknown whether or not they can actually make these demands for this particular fight, but it's unlikely.
*Since every character in the [[Glitz Pit|major league]] would have to beat the Armored Harriers in order to stay ranked above them, it is plausible that they have other weaknesses (or that the Major League fighters knew their main weakness).
**It is also possible that the [[Red Spike Buzzy|Red Spike Buzzies]] in the Glitz Pit kept them in their place. The Iron Clefts have an Attack of 4, while the Spike Tops have a Defense of 4 despite the fact that their attack pierces defense.

Iron Clefts are a powerful type of Cleft found in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. The only known Iron Clefts are the two members of the Armored Harriers team in the Glitz Pit. They are large Clefts with a blue coloration, and as their name implies, they are made of impenetrable metal. Even if Mario manages to have the Piercing Blow badge equipped, he still will not deal damage, and a correctly-timed Superguard will not hurt them either. Yoshi's Gulp provides the only known way to defeat the Armored Harriers, as it involves hitting one of the Iron Clefts with the other.
