'''Iron Clefts''' are a powerful sub-species of [[Cleft]]s found in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''.
==Trivia==
 
*Despite Goombella's tattle mentioning the only way to damage the Iron Clefts is to whack them into each other, neither the Super Hammer nor the Ultra Hammer moves are able to damage them, despite both moves being capable of hitting enemies into each other.
Iron Clefts are larger than normal Clefts and have a dark gray coloration. As their name implies, they are made of impenetrable metal. Even if Mario manages to have the [[Piercing Blow]] [[badge]] equipped, they still won't take damage.
 
The only known Iron Clefts are the [[Armored Harriers]].

Iron Clefts are a powerful type of Cleft first seen in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door and its Nintendo Switch remake. The only known Iron Clefts are the two members of The Iron Adonis Twins team in the Glitz Pit. They are large blue Clefts made of impenetrable metal. Because their defense is considered to be unknown, no attacks will do any damage to them, even moves that bypass defense and if a character executes a perfectly timed Superguard. Yoshi's Gulp provides the only known source of damaging these Iron Clefts, as it involves hitting one of the Iron Clefts with the other.
