Swoopula



Swoopulas are more powerful species of Swoopers that absorb HP from Mario (takes 2 HP per bite) in Paper Mario and Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door. Usually, at the beginning of battle, they will be perched on the ceiling. To get them down, you must hit them with either an item, Hammer Quake, or Hammer. A Superguard will also work.

Paper Mario Stats

 * HP: 8
 * Attack: 2
 * Defense: 0
 * Location: Crystal Palace
 * Tattle: Swoopulas attack from the air and cling to you to suck your HP. Hit A repeatedly to fight it off or else it'll keep sucking your HP. You can't jump high enough to attack them while they're hanging from the ceiling. An earthquake attack ought to work, though. Flying party members, like Bow or Parakarry, can also attack them with ease. If they fall and begin to flap around, you can attack them by jumping as well.
