'''Bristles''' are spiked monsters made of rock and are found in the game ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'' and its [[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Nintendo Switch)|Nintendo Switch remake]]. Similar to [[Cleft]]s, Bristles have spiked tops, high defense, an immunity to fire attacks, and can be flipped over by an earthquake or an explosion. Unlike Clefts, Bristles do not lose their top-spiked defense when flipped and are also immune to close-range attacks like [[Gulp]] and [[Mario]]'s [[Hammer]], as their large spears pop out to protect against approachers. Bristles will not pop out their spears if paralyzed (i.e. [[asleep]], [[frozen]], or [[immobilized]]), but they are still immune to direct contact moves such as [[Ms. Mowz]]'s [[Kiss Thief]] like with [[Pokey]]s.


The '''Bristle''' are spiked monsters made of rock in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. They have high defense, and if [[Mario]] tries to attack one with his hammer, he'll end up hurting himself, since the spikes will pop out once mario gets near. Plus, this monster is impervious to fire.
Despite their copious defenses, Bristles have very low HP and are easily taken out with items (e.g. [[POW Block]], [[Earth Quake]], [[Ice Storm]]), [[Superguard]]s, or Special Moves (e.g. [[Earth Tremor]]). Mario is also capable of simply hammering them should he have the [[Spike Shield]] [[badge]] equipped, though without attack-increasing badges, [[Piercing Blow]], or the [[Ultra Hammer]], it will do no damage.

Although Bristles have made no appearances outside of ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'', they are mentioned in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]''. Before the Mario Bros. learn the [[Bro Ball|Bros. Ball]] move, [[Toadsworth the Younger]] tells his [[Toadsworth|older self]] that he "looks like he has a Bristle in his britches".
The Special Moves, [[Art Attack]], [[Supernova]], and [[Earth Tremor]], will defeat a Bristle, as well as a [[POW Block]] or an [[Earthquake]]. [[Mario]] can even defeat them by just using [[Superguard|Superguards]].

Bristles are spiked monsters made of rock and are found in the game Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door and its Nintendo Switch remake. Similar to Clefts, Bristles have spiked tops, high defense, an immunity to fire attacks, and can be flipped over by an earthquake or an explosion. Unlike Clefts, Bristles do not lose their top-spiked defense when flipped and are also immune to close-range attacks like Gulp and Mario's Hammer, as their large spears pop out to protect against approachers. Bristles will not pop out their spears if paralyzed (i.e. asleep, frozen, or immobilized), but they are still immune to direct contact moves such as Ms. Mowz's Kiss Thief like with Pokeys.

Despite their copious defenses, Bristles have very low HP and are easily taken out with items (e.g. POW Block, Earth Quake, Ice Storm), Superguards, or Special Moves (e.g. Earth Tremor). Mario is also capable of simply hammering them should he have the Spike Shield badge equipped, though without attack-increasing badges, Piercing Blow, or the Ultra Hammer, it will do no damage.

Although Bristles have made no appearances outside of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, they are mentioned in Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time. Before the Mario Bros. learn the Bros. Ball move, Toadsworth the Younger tells his older self that he "looks like he has a Bristle in his britches".
