Craw-Daddy, also known as The Dark Gatekeeper, is a Dark Craw and fighter in Glitzville found in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. His name is a play on both his species and "crawdad," a name sometimes used for the crayfish. He is ranked fourth in the Glitz Pit, below Hamma, Bamma, and Flare but above The Fuzz. Once Mario wins the championship, he is moved into fifth.
Since Craw-Daddy uses his spear to attack, Mario is not able to jump on him without getting hurt unless he has Spike Shield. Instead, Mario must rely heavily on hammer attacks or using items. Although he has no defense, he makes up for it with a high amount of health and powerful attacks.
Like all Dark Craws, he has red eyes and dark-blue skin, as well as a brown vest and bandana and a red handkerchief, compared to the green and tan clothing that regular Craws wear.
