'''Wracktail''' is a giant, lavender robotic dragon that appears in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]''. He stated that he was a wrathful god who was locked away by the [[Tribe of Ancients]], and [[Tippi]] says that he was the prototype for [[Fracktail]], who looks identical to Wracktail except for his color. Before the fight, he expresses anger at the heroes for disturbing his slumber and decides to kill them in turn. Wracktail is found at the bottom of the [[Flipside Pit of 100 Trials]] and upon his defeat, [[Dashell]], a [[Pixl]], is obtained, and a Pipe appears, leading [[Mario]] and company back to the entrance of the Pit. Just as Fracktail is the ''Super Paper Mario'' equivalent of [[Hooktail]] from ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', Wracktail is the counterpart to [[Bonetail]].
'''Wracktail''' is a white robotic dragon that appears in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]''. He stated that he was a wrathful god who was locked away by the [[Tribe of Ancients]], and [[Tippi]] says that he was the prototype for [[Fracktail]], who looks identical to Wracktail except for his color. Wracktail is found at the bottom of the [[Flipside Pit of 100 Trials]] and upon his defeat, [[Dashell]], a [[Pixl]], is obtained, and a Pipe appears, leading [[Mario]] and company back to the entrance of the Pit. Before the fight, he expresses anger at the heroes for disturbing his slumber and threatens to murder them in turn. Just as Fracktail is the ''Super Paper Mario'' equivalent of [[Hooktail]] from ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', Wracktail is the counterpart to [[Bonetail]]. Wracktail is the largest boss in the [[Mario (franchise)|''Mario'' franchise]], also sharing that title with Fracktail.


To defeat Wracktail, the same tactics must be utilized as those used to defeat Fracktail. The player must wait for the boss to dive low along the ground, then jump on his back and use [[Thoreau]] to grab the [[Wrackle]]s and throw them and Wracktail's antenna, which must be hit 30 times to defeat the dragon. It is also possible to damage the antenna by stomping it, either via [[Luigi]]'s [[Super jump (Super Paper Mario)|super jump]], or by landing on it when Wracktail flies in a loop.

The player must wait for the boss to dive low along the ground, then jump on his back and use [[Thoreau]] to grab the [[Wrackle]]s and throw them and Wracktail's antenna, which must be hit 30 times to defeat the dragon. The player can also use [[Luigi]]'s [[Super jump (Super Paper Mario)|super jump]] to continuously jump onto the antenna, and [[Princess Peach|Peach]]'s parasol move can be used to easily jump back onto Wracktail's head when he does a loop, potentially making the battle easier than the earlier Fracktail battle. However, contrary to his Catch Card's claims, Wracktail is only ten times stronger than Fracktail, not 100 times.


Upon defeat, Wracktail warns the heroes that he was not the only monster created by the Ancients, referring to [[Shadoo]], and directs them to the [[Flopside Pit of 100 Trials]].
After being beaten by them, he acknowledges that he was done, but then hints that he [[Shadoo|wasn't the only monster]] created by the Ancients, and that they go to the Flopside Pit of 100 Trials to find the other monster before being destroyed.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*Contrary to what his Catch Card description in English versions claims, Wracktail is only ten times stronger than Fracktail, not 100 times.
*Unlike Fracktail, who speaks almost entirely in caps lock, Wracktail's speech is in the game's standard style.
*His Catch Card description in the Japanese version claims he is Fracktail's "father" and simply mentions that he is stronger than his "son" despite fighting the same way. It also does not directly mention his status as the boss of the Flipside Pit of 100 Trials, instead stating that he lurks "somewhere in this world".<ref>inu651225 (October 23, 2010).

*Unlike Fracktail, who speaks almost entirely in capital letters, Wracktail's speech is in the game's standard style. This is partially reversed in the Japanese version, where Fracktail only lapses into mostly-katakana speech when "scanning" Mario and while under Dimentio's spell, and Wracktail speaks entirely in katakana and kanji with katakana furigana.
