Megabite

Megabites are evil skulls that appear in Super Paper Mario, and can be found in various locations. The waving purple tails coming out of their skulls gives them a vaguely fish-like appearance. Their name is a pun on "megabyte," a measurement in computing, and "bite."

Description
Megabites will appear in various locations if the player remains in a given area too long, spawning after 3 to 5 minutes. The game will make an eerie sound and then the skulls will swoop down from the sky at the player, dealing 1 damage with each hit. Megabites have 4 HP, and will only take 1 damage per hit from any attack. If the player does not defeat a Megabite after about seven swoops, the enemy will flee and leave them with no points.

Megabites have a chance of dropping items such as a Shooting Star, a Thunder Rage, or, more rarely, a Catch Card SP upon defeat, as well as lots of coins.
