'''Cloaker''' is a boss in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]''. A high-ranking member of the [[Smithy Gang]], he is encountered within [[Factory (Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars)|Smithy Factory]], near the last bosses fought in the game. He is fought twice, consecutively, in the course of one battle. He is fought once alongside his partner, [[Domino]], prior to being fought again immediately after atop his giant pet snake, [[Earth Link]].
'''Cloaker''' is a boss in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]''. He is encountered within the [[Factory (Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars)|Factory]], near the last bosses fought in the game. He is fought twice, consecutively, in the course of one battle. He is fought once alongside his partner, [[Domino]], prior to being fought again immediately after atop his giant pet snake, [[Earth Link]]. [[Mario]] and his party fight Cloaker and Domino after falling into a trap, challenged to a duel by them.


While exploring the factory, [[Mario]] and his party unexpectedly encounter Domino and Cloaker after falling into a hole. Cloaker becomes thrilled they have fallen into their trap, and challenges them to a duel, as they quickly prove themselves to be formidable opponents. Domino and Cloaker appear to offset the respective weaknesses and strengths of the other - Domino is strong at magic attacks while being physically weak, whereas Cloaker possesses high physical attack and defense while having no use of magic. Upon Domino's defeat, Cloaker retreats and fuses with his pet snake, Earth Link. This effort, too, is futile, resulting in the quick and simultaneous defeat of them both. With the group now defeated, Mario and his party are able to progress.
Cloaker excels at physical attack and defense while having a magic weakness, where his weakness is augmented by his partner, Domino, who excels at magic. If Domino is defeated first, Cloaker retreats and fuses with his pet snake, Earth Link.


Cloaker wields both a shield and scimitar. Much like Domino, his design appears to feature depictions of Middle Eastern culture. He dons a fez in addition to the purple and yellow striped suit of a jester's. Additionally, Cloaker himself resembles the shape of a bottle, with his fez serving as the cork or stopper - this is all the more relevant regarding his use of a cobra in the second phase of this battle.
