Hooktail is a dragon that appears in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door in Hooktail Castle. She terrorizes Petalburg and kills many of the townspeople. Mario must defeat her to save some of the characters that she previously swallowed, including Kolorado's Father, Old Man Skoo, and Koops' dad.

Hooktail and her brothers, Bonetail and Gloomtail, once belonged as pets to the Shadow Queen.

When Mario, Goombella and Koops came to obtain to her castle to obtain the first Crystal Star, the Diamond Star, they had to face her in combat. After a long battle, they defeated her and Koops' dad burst out of her mouth, saying that he survived in Hooktail's stomach by hiding in his shell.

Later on the game, when Mario and company visit Hooktail's lair, they find no trace of her. Goombella briefly ponders where did she go, but decides that her absence is a good thing.

Hooktail resembles Valoo from The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, and her name alone may be a reference to Valoo's tail.
