== | ==History== | ||
===Background=== | |||
Much of Hooktail's background is unknown, though according to stories told by [[Grifty]], she, along with her [[Gloomtail|two]] [[Bonetail|siblings]] were once pets of the [[Shadow Queen]] who traveled around the world terrorizing people before the Shadow Queen was imprisoned behind [[The Thousand-Year Door]]. Grifty's stories also mention that Hooktail Castle was created to contain one of the [[Crystal Star]]s, implying Hooktail may have been placed there in order to guard it. | |||

As explained by the residents there, Hooktail terrorized [[Petalburg]] for a long time, devouring many of its residents. Those who tried to stop her were ultimately devoured as well, including [[Kolorado]]'s [[Kolorado's father|father]] and [[Koopley]]. However, her victims discovered that her weakness was [[Attack FX R|cricket chirps]], noting that she became nauseated and weakened upon hearing them. | As explained by the residents there, Hooktail terrorized [[Petalburg]] for a long time, devouring many of its residents.

Upon defeat, she tries to bargain with the player. She at first offers 1,000 [[coin]]s, then a "lovely, rare, extra-special badge", and finally a chance to sniff her feet. All three are false offers, and she will attack the player if they accept any of them. After this, she eats some of the [[audience]] members, healing her by 10 HP and causing the rest of the audience to run away. Mario then defeats her, and she coughs up the missing Koopley after fainting. He then rewards Mario with the Diamond Star, which was trapped inside her gut. | Upon defeat, she tries to bargain with the player.

Hooktail was later referenced nearing the end of the game when encountering her brother [[Gloomtail]], where one of the party members will briefly mistake him for her and question how she survived the encounter. This promptly outraged him and had him decide to fight Mario to avenge his sister. | |||
