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 Stars]], 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.

When [[Mario]] visited [[the Thousand-Year Door]] and held the [[Magical Map]] aloft, the map revealed that the [[Diamond Star]] was located in Hooktail Castle. After progressing through it, it is revealed that Hooktail is the guardian of the [[Crystal Star]], and Mario battles her to retrieve it. Wearing the Attack FX R badge in the battle against her will progressively weaken her attacks, making the battle much easier. | When [[Mario]] visited [[the Thousand-Year Door]] and held the [[Magical Map]] aloft, the map revealed that the [[Diamond Star]] was located in Hooktail Castle.

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 | Hooktail is later referenced near the end of the game when encountering her brother [[Gloomtail]], with one of the party members briefly mistaking him for her and questioning how she survived the encounter. This promptly outrages him and causes him to decide to fight Mario to avenge his sister. | ||
