'''Gloomtail''' is the middle sibling in the "tail" family in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. He is the older brother of [[Hooktail]] and the younger brother of [[Bonetail]], and according to [[Grifty]], once served as a pet of the [[Shadow Queen]].

He is the older brother of [[Hooktail]] and the younger brother of [[Bonetail]], and according to [[Grifty]], once served as a pet of the [[Shadow Queen]]. Gloomtail is the only male sibling out of the trio (although Bonetail is male in the English script of the original GameCube release while Hooktail is male in Spanish localizations of the original and remake) and the only one to not have a ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'' equivalent. He lives in the [[Palace of Shadow]] and guards the [[Star Key]], which is needed to unlock the pedestals in the [[Palace of Shadow Tower]]. When Mario and his [[party member|partner]] (except [[Goombella]] and [[Koops]]) first encounter Gloomtail, the partner confuses him for Hooktail and questions why she is back. Upon hearing this, Gloomtail vows to destroy Mario and company and avenge his sister. After defeating Gloomtail, he coughs up the [[treasure chest]] containing the Star Key. | ||

Gloomtail is stronger than his sister. He attacks by breathing [[poison (status effect)|poison]] on Mario and his partner (taking at least ten turns to wear off), and stomping or chomping the character in front. His earthquake move can be dangerous, but it does not work on [[Vivian]] and [[Flurrie]].

*The room [[Grodus]] is fought in is directly below Gloomtail's room, which would mean that [[Bowser]] was in Gloomtail's room when he fell through the floor. In fact, if the player uses cheats or glitches to go to the hidden area behind Gloomtail's room after defeating the [[Shadow Queen]], a large hole can be seen.

**Goombella's tattle when inside Gloomtail's room acts as though Gloomtail is not present, despite the fact that he is always present until the player lowers the floor of the rooms that lead to his room. This implies that Gloomtail's room was intended to be accessible at any time. | **Goombella's tattle when inside Gloomtail's room acts as though Gloomtail is not present, despite the fact that he is always present until the player lowers the floor of the rooms that lead to his room.
