The Malboro (モルボル Moruboru), also known as a Molbol, Morbol or Oscar, is a recurring enemy from the Final Fantasy series. In early games they attack in large groups, and in later games they tend to attack solo. Malboros appear as large, green, tentacled plants with an anemone-like head and very large mouths. In most games, Malboros are much larger than humans.

Similar to the Tonberry, Malboros have ranked among the more difficult and annoying enemies in the series, as their signature move Bad Breath can inflict many status ailments on its targets, crippling unprotected parties. In addition, Malboros often have other status attacks as well, and other "breath"-based attacks. Common variants include the Great Malboro (モルボルグレート Moruboru Gurēto), and the Malboro Menace (モルボルワースト Moruboru Wāsuto), among others.

The lowest level of Malboro can be encountered in the Pashhow Marshlands, an area that serves as part of the route between Bastok and Jeuno. Almost every single weapon skill Morbols use causes a status effect, except for Vampiric Lash, which drains HP. Impale serves as a simple attack that sometimes inflicts Paralysis, Sweet Breath puts the target to sleep, and Bad Breath (learnable by Blue Mages at a very high level) inflicts a slew of status effects as usual, and is known to be a danger even to players that are capable of easily taking them down.

Malboro-type enemies in Final Fantasy XII are generally much smaller than in earlier games, usually only human height. However, giant Malboros closer to typical Malboro size, can be found during hunts. Malboros are shown to walk with their mouths facing upwards when not in battle - they tilt their mouths down to attack when they engage the party. They have a range of breath attacks, like Cloying Breath and Putrid Breath, each with a variation of status afflictions.

Tập tin:Malboro mariohoops.jpg

The Malboro Gardens in Mario Hoops 3-on-3

Two Malboros appeared in the secret court Malboro Gardens, one behind each basket. The Malboros would sometimes attack with their purple Bad Breath, which knocked down players if hit by it and inflict them with the Poison, which slows down characters. The Malboros stray from their normal appearances, with only five eyes, each very large and pink, but still retaining their green skin.

Etymology[]

The name could be a reference to Marlboro Cigarettes, since the creatures often spew horrid-smelling fumes. A more likely possibility is that it comes from the Japanese onomatopoeia "boro", which is the sound of an upset stomach. Their name may also be derived from the Latin words "mal" (meaning bad) and "boros" (meaning breath), a reference to their infamous attack.
