'''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.
'''Moon Clefts''' are very powerful 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 high stats but are easy to beat when an explosion, preferably from [[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 has the same colors of a normal [[Cleft]] from ''[[Paper Mario]]'', whereas those are grey in ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door''.
 
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. They still have the same weakness, as [[Boomer (Pixl)|Boomer]] can flip them over. Moon Clefts will occasionally drop a [[Cake Mix]] when they are defeated.

==Notes==
{{BoxTop}}
*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>
