'''Moon Clefts''' are a very powerful lunar species of [[Cleft]]s found in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. Aside from the increase of power, they look and act nearly identically to normal Clefts. Moon Clefts are found during the portion of Chapter 7 that takes place on the [[moon]]. These Clefts have high statistics but are easy to beat when an explosion, such as from [[Admiral Bobbery]], flips them over, lowering their Defense down to 0. Like their relatives, they disguise themselves as rocks, but they reveal their true form when [[Mario]] comes close enough. Moon Clefts attack by charging at their opponents, and cannot be stomped because of their spikes. This enemy has colors similar to a normal [[Cleft]] from ''[[Paper Mario]]'', whereas those are pale gray in ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'' in fitting with the color scheme of [[Boggly Woods]]. Their tattle also states them to simply be a basic Cleft found on the moon. They have the highest defense power in the game, alongside [[Chain Chomp]]s and [[Elite Wizzerd]]s.
