'''Bristles''' are spiked monsters made of rock and are found in the game ''[[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, as a spike will pop out from the Bristle once the plumber gets near. This monster is also impervious to [[jump]] attacks and fire. The Special Move [[Earth Tremor]] will defeat a Bristle, as well as a [[POW Block]] or an [[Earth Quake]]. [[Mario]] can even defeat them by simply using [[Superguard|Superguards]], as their HP is very low. Strangely enough, although Mario cannot normally use a hammer attack, he can use any hammer attack if he is equipped with the [[Badge|Spike Shield badge]] - the Bristle (and [[Dark Bristle]]) will not attempt to poke him with its spikes if he is equipped with this badge. If Mario attacks one with a [[Sleepy Sheep]], the Bristle's spikes will still protrude while asleep.

Although Bristles have made no appearances outside of ''Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door'', they were mentioned in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]''. Before the Mario Bros. learned the [[Bros. Ball]] move, [[Young Toadsworth]] told his [[Toadsworth|older self]] that he "looks like he has a Bristle in his britches".

Bristles are spiked monsters made of rock and are found in the game 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, as a spike will pop out from the Bristle once the plumber gets near. This monster is also impervious to jump attacks and fire. The Special Move Earth Tremor will defeat a Bristle, as well as a POW Block or an Earth Quake. Mario can even defeat them by simply using Superguards, as their HP is very low. Strangely enough, although Mario cannot normally use a hammer attack, he can use any hammer attack if he is equipped with the Spike Shield badge - the Bristle (and Dark Bristle) will not attempt to poke him with its spikes if he is equipped with this badge. If Mario attacks one with a Sleepy Sheep, the Bristle's spikes will still protrude while asleep.
