'''Iron Clefts''' are a powerful type of [[Cleft]] found in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. The only known Iron Clefts are the two members of the [[Armored Harriers]] team in the [[Glitz Pit]]. They are large Clefts with a blue coloration, and as their name implies, they are made of impenetrable metal. Even if [[Mario]] manages to have the [[Piercing Blow]] [[badge]] equipped, he still will not deal damage, and a correctly-timed [[Superguard]] will not hurt them either. [[Mini-Yoshi|Yoshi]]'s [[Gulp]] provides the only known way to defeat the Armored Harriers, as it involves hitting one of the Iron Clefts with the other.

Tattle That's an Iron Cleft. That guy is SCARY. Period! Max HP is 6, Attack is 4, and Defense is...UNKNOWN?!? What's WITH this book? It says no attack will work against Iron Clefts! It says nothing in the world is as hard as an Iron Cleft, so its Defense is impenetrable. If that's true, the only way to beat one is to whack it with the other one... Running away may not be a bad idea at this point.

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.
