'''Swoopulas''' are a more powerful variety of [[Swooper]]s in ''[[Paper Mario]]'' and ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. They attack by leeching HP from Mario or his Partner in a similar manner to a [[Fuzzy]] attack. At the start of battle, Swoopulas are perched on the ceiling and can be knocked down with an item, [[List of special moves|Special Move]], most partner moves, the [[Quake Hammer]] or [[Hammer Throw (badge)|Hammer Throw]] abilities, or a [[Superguard]]. In ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'', Swoopulas start battle in the air rather than on the ceiling.

A '''Swoopula''' is a bat like creature. It is a more powerful variety of a [[Swoop]]er found in the ''[[Paper Mario (series)|Paper Mario]]'' series. It attacks by leeching hit points from [[Mario]] or his [[partner]] in a similar manner to a [[Fuzzy]]'s attack. Its name is based off {{wp|Count Dracula}}.
 
==History==
===''Paper Mario''===
In ''[[Paper Mario]]'', Swoopulas appear in the [[Crystal Palace]]. At the start of battle, Swoopulas are perched on the ceiling and can be knocked down with an item, [[List of moves|Special Move]], certain partner moves, or the [[Quake Hammer]] or [[Hammer Throw (badge)|Hammer Throw]] abilities. They fly down briefly to attack, but return to their roost unless previously knocked down. They leech two hit points at a time up to five times unless an [[Action Command]] gauge is filled up first, similar to [[Jungle Fuzzy]].


Swoopula's name is based off of the vampire, [[wikipedia:Count Dracula|Count Dracula]].
===''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door''===
In ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', Swoopulas appear in the [[Palace of Shadow]] and slightly late in the [[Pit of 100 Trials (Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door)|Pit of 100 Trials]] and start battle in the air rather than on the ceiling. Their leeching move now takes four hit points, but is only used once per turn. An even stronger version known as [[Swampire]] appears near the end of the Pit of 100 Trials.
