Battle[]

Machina maw2

Malboro fought in Bevelle.

A moderately difficult enemy due to its Bad Breath attack, it is best to equip a Ribbon to negate any status effects it can inflict, and carry several Remedies to counteract any statuses any other party members may receive.

In Oversoul, it is best to have an Alchemist in the party to avoid it using its Ingest attacks.

If the player tries to learn Bad Breath from Malboro for their Gun Mages, they'll have to alter its HP ten times before it will uses Bad Breath. Both attacking and healing it counts, but the Malboro will need to have MP to be able to use Bad Breath.

Creature Creator[]

In Chapter 3 only, the Malboro can join the party via a Trap pod L in Besaid. It comes into the party having learned its signature Bad Breath attack, as well as Chomp and Ailment Def., the latter of which provides protection against all status ailments.

In battle, the Malboro can eventually learn Staccato and Really Bad Breath, the latter an ability also usable by the Great Malboro, as well as Total Limit Break at a high enough level.

The Malboro boasts large amounts of HP, as well as decent Defense and Magic, high Strength, good Accuracy, and very high Agility. However, its Evasion and Luck are also very low.

Etymology[]

The name may be a reference to Marlboro Cigarettes, since the creatures often spew horrid fumes from their mouths.
