Sprite from Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door
First appearance	Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (2004)
Latest appearance	Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Nintendo Switch) (2024)
Variant of	Bald Cleft

A Hyper Bald Cleft (or H. Bald Cleft) is a variation of the Cleft species that appears only in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door and its Nintendo Switch remake. As with other Hyper variants, it can empower itself with the Charged status effect. Its attack power is two, but when Charge is in use, it becomes eight. If the player tattles the Cleft with Goombella, Goombella recommends using attack items to defeat it. Cleftor and his Glitz Pit teammates, The Punk Rocks, are the only Hyper Bald Clefts in the game.

	Tattle	That's a Hyper Bald Cleft. Like Clefts and Bald Clefts, this is also a rock monster. Max HP is 3, Attack is 2, and Defense is 2. This hyper version can build up its energy, boosting its Attack to 8 on the next turn. It has low HP, but its body is rock-hard and impervious to fire, making it super-tough. It says here that item attacks are pretty effective. Beat it before it goes hyper!
