According to stories told by [[Grifty]], Hooktail Castle was built long ago in order to harbor one of the [[Crystal Stars]], which had been scattered throughout the land to exert the [[Shadow Queen]]'s power. Since the castle was built to "accommodate Hooktail's bulk", it is likely that Hooktail, being one of the Shadow Queen's pets, was tasked with guarding the Crystal Star by her master and given Hooktail Castle to live in while doing so. Alongside containing traps to prevent potential thieves from reaching Hooktail and the Crystal Star at the top of the castle, the castle contains torture devices such as the [[wikipedia:Rack (torture)|rack]], a [[wikipedia:Flail (weapon)|flail]], and a ball-and-chain. There are also many prison cells in the castle. As such, it is possible that Hooktail Castle was additionally utilized to imprison and torture enemies of the Shadow Queen, not dissimilar to her [[Pit of 100 Trials (Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door)|Pit of 100 Trials]].

Following the Shadow Queen's sealing behind [[the Thousand-Year Door]], one of the [[List of implied characters#Four heroes|four heroes]] travelled to Hooktail Castle and transformed into a [[black chest]] after losing the Diamond Star they had in their possession. Hooktail got ahold of the Diamond Star and began guarding it in her castle, just as she had done with the Crystal Star she had before.  


At some point, [[Korvallis]], [[Kolorado]]'s father, decided to travel to Hooktail Castle to defeat the dragon, but only made it to the second room past the front door before dying. 10 years prior to the events of ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'', [[Koopley]] would aim to do the same. While he was much more successful in his quest compared to Korvallis, managing to make it all the way to Hooktail, he ultimately lost the battle with her and was eaten.
