Count Malboro

The Count Malboro is an enemy in Final Fantasy IV: The After Years.

Found only in the Lunarians' Tale, it has several powerful attacks that can easily take off a good chunk of your HP or turn the battle against you in a split second. Noteworthy attacks are Bad Breath (which inflicts Toad, Silence, Mini, Pig, and Confuse on one party member), Bile (which inflicts physical damage and Drain on one party member), and Poison Gas (which inflicts Poison and tries to inflict physical damage on all party members). It can also restore HP using its Heal ability. This, coupled with its high HP, high physical attack power, and auto-counter attacks, can easily wipe out even a prepared player.

Casting Slow on it and then barraging it with powerful Black Magic, such as Flare or even Meteor (if you can spare the MP), can be a great help in assuring victory. Having Float cast on your party also seems to help to some extent.

You cannot run away from a battle with a Count Malboro.
