Armored Harriers

The Armored Harriers are two Iron Clefts that appear in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. The Armored Harriers are made of iron that Mario can only break through with the help of Yoshi. One of the Armored Harriers wears red shoes, and the other one wears green shoes. This type of red and green symbolism appears often in the Mario series. After Mario and his friends beat the Armored Harriers, they were demoted to the Minor League. They then form a grudge against Mario, and later challenge him to a duel a second time, only to get beaten again.
