| ~ Gloomtail |
Gloomtail is a minor antagonist in the 2004 video game Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door and its 2024 remake of the same name. He is a gigantic black dragon, the older brother of Hooktail, and younger brother of Bonetail.
History[]
He is one of the Shadow Queen's 3 pet dragons, and is kept in the Palace of Shadow. When Mario entered, Gloomtail was enraged to discover that Mario killed his sister Hooktail, so he attacked him. In the end, he was defeated, and before he "expired" he coughed up a treasure chest containing a star-shaped stone.
In Battle[]
Gloomtail is one of the tougher bosses, with 80 HP, 8 ATK and 2 DEF. He can power up and use Megabreath (which is yellow). His regular breath is green and can poison Mario. He can also stomp and create an earthquake.

Trivia[]
- He has the fourth strongest enemy attack in the game.
- Gloomtail is somewhat similar to Elder Princess Shroob, as both wanted to avenge their sisters' deaths.
- If Mario brings any of his partners that were unavailable during the battle with Hooktail, they will confuse him for Hooktail, going off on several descriptions Mario told them about offscreen.
- Due to Bonetail being retconned from a male into a female in the remake, this makes Gloomtail the only male in his family.
- Gloomtail is the only dragon boss who doesn't have a counterpart in Super Paper Mario.
