A '''Moon Cleft''' is a very powerful sub-species of [[Cleft]]s found in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', during Chapter 7 (that is to say on the [[Moon]], as their name implies). These moon-dwelling enemies have insanely high stats but are easy to beat when an explosion, preferably from [[Bobbery]], flips them over, lowering their Defense down to 0. Like their relatives, they disguise themselves as rocks, but they reveal their true form when [[Mario]] comes close enough. Moon Clefts attack by charging at their opponents, and cannot be stomped because of their spikes.


'''Moon Clefts''' are a very powerful lunar species of [[Cleft]]s found in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'' and its [[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Nintendo Switch)|Nintendo Switch remake]]. Aside from the increase of power, they look and act nearly identically to normal Clefts. Moon Clefts are found during the portion of Chapter 7 that takes place on the [[moon]]. These Clefts have high statistics but are easy to beat when an explosion, such as from [[Bobbery|Admiral Bobbery]], flips them over, lowering their Defense down to 0. Like their relatives, they disguise themselves as rocks, but they reveal their true form when [[Mario]] comes close enough. Moon Clefts attack by charging at their opponents, and cannot be stomped because of their spikes. This enemy’s coloration is similar to that of ordinary [[Cleft]]s as they appear in ''[[Paper Mario]]'' and ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'' (which themselves were misidentified as Moon Clefts in Western localizations of ''Super Paper Mario''), whereas ordinary Clefts are pale gray in ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'', matching the color scheme of the [[Boggly Woods]]. Their tattle also states them to simply be a basic Cleft found on the moon. They have the highest defense power in the game, alongside [[Chain Chomp]]s and [[Elite Wizzerd]]s.
They return in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'' in Chapter 5-1, near [[Downtown of Crag]]. Their attack pattern remains the same: they charge at [[Mario]] and his allies as soon as they get close enough. But they also still have the same weakness, as [[Boomer]] can flip them over.  


==Profiles and statistics==
== Trivia ==
===''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door''===
*Since Moon Clefts can be found near Downtown of Crag, it might imply that the [[Land of the Cragnons]] is located on the natural satellite (i.e. "moon") of an unknown planet.

==Trivia==
== Foreign Names ==
*The respective internal file names for Moon Clefts and normal Clefts in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'' indicate that at some point in development, Moon Clefts were intended to be the "base" version of Cleft while the final game's normal Cleft was intended as a variant, explaining Moon Cleft's usage of the original coloration.<ref><tt>c_sinemon</tt> and <tt>c_sinemon_w</tt>, respective file names for Moon Cleft and Cleft in ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door''</ref>
