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.

'''Swoopulas''' are more powerful species of [[Swooper]]s that absorb [[Heart Point|HP]] from [[Mario]] (taking 2 HP per bite) in ''[[Paper Mario]]'' and ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. The attack is similar to a [[Fuzzy]] attack. Usually at the beginning of battle, they will be perched on the ceiling. To get them down, Mario must hit them with either an item, [[Quake Hammer (Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door)|Quake Hammer]], [[Hammer Throw (Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door)|Hammer Throw]], or a particular partner attack. A [[Superguard]] will also work. In ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'' however, normal Swoopulas start the battle in the air. Unlike the Swoopulas in the first ''Paper Mario'' game, they may only attack once before the battle starts.
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}}.


Swoopula's name is based of the vampire, [[wikipedia:Count Dracula|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]].


==Related species==
===''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door''===
*[[Swooper]]
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.
