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, Special Move, certain partner moves, or the Quake Hammer or Hammer Throw abilities. They fly down briefly to attack, but return to their roost unless previously knocked down. They leech an amount of health proportional to the amount of damage they have already taken.
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 and start battle in the air rather than on the ceiling. Their leeching move now takes four hit points regardless of their health. An even stronger version known as Swampire appears near the end of the Pit of 100 Trials.

| Tattle | This is a Swoopula. Swoopulas attack from the air and cling to you to suck your HP. Max HP: 8, Attack Power: 2, Defense Power: 0 Hit  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.
