Dark Bristle

Dark Bristles are enemies in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door.

This is one of the most feared enemies in the game. This powerhouse has only eight hit points, but its almost impenetrable defense makes it one tough pony. Dark Bristles are only found in the second to last section of the Pit of 100 Trials. These enemies are also much more deadlier than their original counterparts, dealing more than triple the damage. An easy way to defeat them is to use earth quaking items. Occasionally, they'll even have healing items on them, making their defeat even further.
