The Armored Harriers - the younger in green and the elder in red.

The Armored Harriers (a.k.a. The Iron Adonis Twins) are two Iron Clefts that appear in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door.

The Armored Harriers are ranked 10th in Glitzville's Glitz Pit. They harbor a huge grudge against Mario after Grubba tells them some rather nasty trash talks that he accredits to Mario (namely the reference to outies running in the family, since their mother apparently had an outie). The Armored Harriers are made of iron that Mario can't break through. He is only able to defeat these two Iron Clefts with the help of Yoshi, whom is able to take an enemy into his mouth with his tongue and spit them back at the other enemy. 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 allies beat the Armored Harriers, the two warriors are downgraded to the Minor League. They form a grudge against Mario and attempt revenge by ambushing the plumber after he duels the Tiny Spinies. Although weakened and surprised, Mario defeats the Armored Harriers a second time.

When Mario has to visit the Minor League locker room while searching for the Dubious Paper, the Armored Harriers become very upset.

Despite the twins' grudge against Mario, they, along with Jolene, KP Pete, 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?

Trivia

  • Despite the fact that only the Yoshi Kid's Gulp move can be used to defeat the two, they are only ranked tenth, meaning that everyone over the tenth rank can defeat them. The other major-leaguers may have found another way to collide the Armored Harriers.
  • Even though both of them have the same stats, they each have a separate tattle entry.
