'''Bald Clefts''' are rocky enemies introduced in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. They can be found on pedestals in [[Shhwonk Fortress]], during Chapter 1, and attack by charging at [[Mario]] and his partners. Because [[Mario]] faces them so early in the game, there are limited strategies to pierce their high defense. The best and most effective strategy is to use a [[POW Block]] on them or a special [[Badge]].


'''Bald Clefts''' are a type of [[Cleft]] without spikes on their heads that appears in the ''[[Paper Mario (series)|Paper Mario]]'' series.
Bald Clefts appear again in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'' as enemies in the [[Yold Desert]]. Like their relatives, they disguise themselves as rocks, and reveal their true form when Mario gets close enough. They attack the same way as they did in ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door''. However, the ''Super Paper Mario'' variety aren't as tough as their other ''Paper Mario'' counterparts, as they can easily be defeated with [[Boomer (Pixl)|Boomer]]. None have the ability to flip dimensions. They appear in the [[Flipside Pit of 100 Trials]] in rooms 13, 34, and 71.

===''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door''===
*[[Hyper Bald Cleft]]
Bald Clefts first appear in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'' as well as its [[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Nintendo Switch)|Nintendo Switch remake]]. They can be found on pedestals on the path leading to [[Shhwonk Fortress]] during Chapter 1, and attack by charging at [[Mario]] and his partners. After that, there is no way to refight this enemy, making it the only one-time enemy to be unrelated to the [[X-Naut]]s.


Due to their lack of spikes, they are safe to jump on, although they still have a high amount of defence relative to most other enemies, especially the ones found near them. This can be negated by flipping them upside-down, much like normal Clefts. Fire elements, including a [[Fire Flower]], do not damage them since their hides are compressed of rock. A [[POW Block]] defeats them easily.

Bald Clefts appear again in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'' as enemies in the [[Yold Desert]]. Like their relatives, they disguise themselves as rocks and reveal their true form when a hero gets close enough. They attack the same way as they did in ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door''. However, the ''Super Paper Mario'' variety is not as tough as their other ''Paper Mario'' counterparts, as they can easily be defeated with [[Boomer (Super Paper Mario)|Boomer]].
