Battle[]
Great Malboro's attacks can inflict a plethora of status effects, including Paralysis, Venom, Silence, Sleep, Confuse, and Mini. Things can go downhill quickly when two or more characters are immobilized by these ailments, and Great Malboros can often come in groups of four.
Etymology[]
The name may be a reference to Marlboro Cigarettes, since the creatures often spew horrid fumes from their mouths. The word "mal", originating from Latin, means "bad" or "evil" across many languages, including English, where it is not used on its own but can be found within words such as "malevolent" or "malefic".
