'''Bristles''' are spiked monsters made of rock and are found in the game ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'' and its [[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Nintendo Switch)|Nintendo Switch remake]]. 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.
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".

'''Bristles''' are spiked monsters made of rock and are found in the game ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. They have high defense, and if [[Mario]] tries to attack one with his [[hammer]], he'll end up hurting himself, as a spike will pop out from the Bristle once the plumber gets near. This monster is also impervious to [[jump]] attacks and fire. The Special Move [[Earth Tremor]] will defeat a Bristle, as well as a [[POW Block]] or an [[Earth Quake]]. Mario can even defeat them by simply using [[Superguard|Superguards]], as their HP is very low. Strangely enough, although Mario cannot normally use a hammer attack, he can use any hammer attack if he is equipped with the [[Badge|Spike Shield badge]] - the Bristle (and [[Dark Bristle]]) will not attempt to poke him with its spikes if he is equipped with this badge. If Mario attacks one with a [[Sleepy Sheep]], the Bristle's spikes will still protrude while asleep.
