'''Cloaker''' is a jester and high-ranking member of the [[Smithy Gang]], and a boss in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'' and its [[Super Mario RPG (Nintendo Switch)|Nintendo Switch remake]]. He is encountered within the [[Weapon World]], near the last bosses fought in the game. He is fought twice, consecutively, in the course of one battle. He is fought once alongside his partner, [[Domino]], before being fought again immediately after atop his giant pet snake, [[Bad Adder]]. [[Mario]] and his party fight Cloaker and Domino after falling into a trap, challenged to a duel by them.


'''Cloaker''' is a shield and sword-wielding jester and a member of the [[Smithy Gang]]. He is also the partner-in-crime of [[Domino]]. Cloaker resides in [[Smithy]]'s [[Factory]] with his gigantic pet snake, [[Earth Link]].
Cloaker excels at physical attack and defense while having a magic weakness, where his weakness is augmented by his partner, Domino, who excels at magic. If Domino is defeated first, Cloaker retreats and fuses with his pet snake, Bad Adder.


During the events of ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'', [[Mario]] and his party encountered the pair of villains in Smithy's Factory. Cloaker and Domino challenged the heroes to a battle, and the duo proved to be formidable opponents. However, the key to their strength rested in their ability to fight as a team. As a pair, the two jesters could offset each others weaknesses. Domino was strong at magic attacks but physically weak, while Cloaker had high physical attack and defense but could not wield (or withstand) magic. Thus, Mario and his party focused their attacks on one of the jesters. With one villain gone, the other would recognize his own weaknesses and retreat. If Domino was defeated first, Cloaker would be forced to retreat to his pet snake, [[Earth Link]]. Master and pet electronically fused together, hoping their combined powers would be enough to defeat Mario. Ultimately, the effort was futile and both Cloaker and Earth Link were defeated by Mario and his allies.
Cloaker wields both a shield and a scimitar. Much like Domino, his design appears to feature depictions of Middle Eastern culture. He dons a fez in addition to the purple and yellow striped suit of a jester's. Additionally, Cloaker himself resembles the shape of a bottle, with his fez serving as the cork or stopper - this is all the more relevant regarding his use of a cobra in the second phase of this battle.

Cloaker, Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars

Cloaker is a jester and high-ranking member of the Smithy Gang, and a boss in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars and its Nintendo Switch remake. He is encountered within the Weapon World, near the last bosses fought in the game. He is fought twice, consecutively, in the course of one battle. He is fought once alongside his partner, Domino, before being fought again immediately after atop his giant pet snake, Bad Adder. Mario and his party fight Cloaker and Domino after falling into a trap, challenged to a duel by them.

Cloaker excels at physical attack and defense while having a magic weakness, where his weakness is augmented by his partner, Domino, who excels at magic. If Domino is defeated first, Cloaker retreats and fuses with his pet snake, Bad Adder.

Cloaker wields both a shield and a scimitar. Much like Domino, his design appears to feature depictions of Middle Eastern culture. He dons a fez in addition to the purple and yellow striped suit of a jester's. Additionally, Cloaker himself resembles the shape of a bottle, with his fez serving as the cork or stopper - this is all the more relevant regarding his use of a cobra in the second phase of this battle.
