'''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]]. Gloomtail is the only male sibling out of the trio (although Gloomtail is female as well in the Dutch localization of the remake, Bonetail is male in the English script of the original GameCube release, and Hooktail is male in the European Spanish localization 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 Stone (Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door)|Star Stone]], which is needed to unlock the pedestals in the [[Palace of Shadow Tower]] (and activate its doors in the [[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Nintendo Switch)|remake]]). | '''Gloomtail''' is the middle sibling in the "tail" family in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''.

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]]. He can also [[Charged|charge up]] for his signature and strongest attack: his megabreath move, which does up to 16 damage. He shares his attack and defense stats with Bonetail. | Gloomtail is stronger than his sister.

*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. The hole can be jumped down to enter the aforementioned Grodus room.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=62tag_geM08 Paper Mario: TTYD Visiting Gloomtail secret room postgame], ''ht Zheng'' (April 30th, 2021).

**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.
