Notable members Craw-Daddy

Dark Craws are enemies in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door and its Nintendo Switch remake. Like Gus, they throw their spears, and charge toward the player with them. Because of the Dark Craw's spear, Mario takes damage if he jumps on one.

A Glitz Pit fighter named Craw-Daddy is a Dark Craw with no changed stats and is usually ranked within the top five fighters of the Glitz Pit.

Dark Craws are also found in the Pit of 100 Trials, between floors 61 and 69. They appear more frequently, and often in groups.

	Tattle	That's a Dark Craw. Yikes. What a ghastly-looking spear-thrower. Max HP is 20, Attack is 6, and Defense is 0. Wow, that's some serious Attack power. You don't wanna Jump on it if its spear is pointing up. 'Cause that... would hurt. For a run-of-the-mill spear-tosser, he sure looks like he's got a POINT to make! Ha ha!
