'''Kleptos''' are larcenous, heavy-lidded condors that first appear in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'', and they have not often appeared since. Their name comes from "[[wiktionary:klepto-|klepto-]]," a prefix originating from Ancient Greek and meaning "theft."

In ''Super Mario 64'', Klepto, also known as '''Klepto the Condor'''<ref>{{cite|author=Pelland, Scott, and Dan Owsen|title=''Super Mario 64'' Player's Guide|page=70&ndash;71|date=1996|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us}}</ref> or '''Big Bird''',<ref>{{cite|author=Nintendo Power Source|deadlink=y|archive=web.archive.org/web/19980224211720/http://www.nintendo.com:80/n64/super_mario64/boss12.html|title=Big Bird - (Course 8)|publisher=Nintendo: Super Mario 64 Strategy|accessdate=February 23, 2018}}</ref> is seen in [[Shifting Sand Land]]. It holds one of the [[Peach's Castle|Mushroom Castle]]'s [[Power Star]]s, flying around between the course's four pillars, so [[Mario]] must reclaim it from its talons. Mario can attack the bird, knocking it out for a short period of time. Klepto eventually regains its senses, and after losing the Power Star, it attempts to steal [[Mario Cap|Mario's cap]]. In later stages, Klepto can be found near the oasis and still attempts to steal his cap. If it does manage to steal it, it will fly around the pillars, carrying it similar to before. If Mario leaves and still has no cap, it remains in the course in which he lost it.

Klepto has the same Power Star and purpose in ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]''. Another Klepto also appears in another level, [[Sunshine Isles]]. A third one makes an appearance on [[Tiny-Huge Island]] when the player character is big. Additionally, while Kleptos steal Mario's, [[Luigi]]'s, and [[Wario]]'s [[cap]]s, they can damage [[Yoshi]]. The Klepto in Sunshine Isles, however, cannot steal anyone's cap; instead, it inflicts one point of damage to the player.

Unlike Klepto in ''Super Mario 64'', it here has two toes pointing forward and one pointing backward on each foot. It shares this trait with the Kleptos of ''[[Mario Pinball Land]]''. Also, its design is somewhat different from previous games, with two tufts of hair, visible purple bags underneath its eyes, and a shady frown instead of a tired-looking expression.{{br|left}}

===''Mario Golf'' series===
In ''[[Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour]]'' multiple Kleptos can be seen flying on the [[Shifting Sands]] course. Klepto's name (erroneously spelled as '''Kelpto''') can be seen sometimes on the scoreboard of a golf match.
Klepto also appears in ''[[Mario Golf: Advance Tour]]'' in the back of the [[Marion Course|Marion Club]]'s training grounds, in which the player must rescue a [[Koopa Troopa]] hanging from its claws.

In ''[[Mario Party Advance]]'', Klepto guards a treasure chest at [[Klepto Ruins]]. He is encountered alongside [[Mr. E (Mario Party Advance)|Mr. E]], who entered the ruins in order to discover the treasure's ruins. Klepto is asked by Mr. E about the treasure's location, and flies up to reveal a treasure chest under his body. He then says that the treasure has a four-digit code, and that the code is his "favorite word." The code is the same word he stutters throughout the conversation, "for", and therefore 4444. If the code is entered incorrectly, Klepto berates the player and bluntly says that "for mean four." If the code is entered correctly, the chest opens to reveal a giant pile of shiny treasure, and Klepto congratulates the player. Klepto offers the treasure to Mr. E, but he refuses as it is not a mystery any more and quickly runs away. Klepto again praises the player for solving his riddle and gives them the [[Map Maker]] [[Gaddget]] as a reward. The ending reveals that Klepto changed the chest's code in order to better protect the treasure.

In ''[[Mario Tennis Aces]]'', Kleptos can be seen in the background of [[Bask Ruins]]. Unlike in ''Super Mario Odyssey'', these Kleptos use an updated version of their design from ''Super Mario 64 DS'' to ''Mario Party 8''. This is the only game after ''Mario Party 8'' where Kleptos use this design.
