The Iron Adonis Twins
The Armored Harriers (a.k.a. The Iron Adonis Twins) are two Iron Clefts that appears in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door.
The Armored Harriers were ranked 10th in the Glitzville's Glitz Pit. The pair are made of iron that Mario cannot break through, and only with the help of Yoshi, who is able to take an enemy into his mouth with his tongue and spit them back at the other enemy, was Mario able to defeat these two Iron Clefts. It is unknown why they are ranked 10th instead of 1st if they are indeed invincible. One of them wears red shoes, while the other wears green shoes, implying that the former is older. This type of red and green symbolism appears often in the Mario series.
After Mario and his friends beat the Armored Harriers, the two warriors were downgraded to the Minor League. They formed a grudge against Mario, and attempted revenge by ambushing the plumber after he dueled the Tiny Spinies Although weakened and surprised, Mario defeated the Armored Harriers a second time.
When Mario had to visit the Minor League locker room while searching for the Dubious Paper, the Armored Harriers became very upset.
Despite the twin's grudge against Mario they, along with Jolene, King K., Rawk Hawk and a few others cheer him on in his battle against the Shadow Queen.
Field Tattles
- That's the older of the Iron Adonis Twins. You can tell he's older by his red shoes. I don't think they took their loss to you too well, Mario. I'd be careful around them...
- That's the younger of the Iron Adonis Twins. He and his brother totally hate you. Is it a rule that older brothers wear red shoes and younger brothers wear green?
