Stats[]
Battle[]
Bad Breath.
While less powerful than the Malboros of other games, it still gives quite an bit of Experience and AP. If eaten, Quina will learn the useful Bad Breath spell. Malboro can inflict Virus.
Strategy[]
Curing Virus with Vaccines should be a priority. Eiko can bypass the effects of Virus by equipping the Guardian Mog ability. Quina's LV3 Def-less works against the Malboro.
