The '''Poto''' is a recurring enemy species in the ''[[Mana (series)|Mana]]'' series. They are generally depicted as a cross between a reptile and a marsupial with rounded features. Potos are one of the most recurring regular enemies in the franchise.

==General Information==
===Physical Description===
Potos have large angular heads with a single rounded horn protuding at the top. They have droopy eyes which can may them look perpetually tired and have a long lizard-like tongue used to attack their target. Their body is stumpy, with oversized hind legs similar to kangaroos and stubby arms. They are mostly colored light-green, but white versions are also prevalent.

===Attributes===
Potos typically roam frozen wastelands and icy caves. They can, however, be also spotted near water or in other damp places.

They have an affinity for casting and resisting [[Wisp|light]] magic, but some games have shown them to favor [[Undine|Water]]. Depending on the installment, they are either weak to [[Shade]] or [[Jinn]] spells.

=== Variants ===
The Poto variants are themed after family members.

*[[Marmpoto|Marmpotos]] are named after the mother nickname "Mama". They typically harbor a peach to orange hue and cast stronger light magic at the heroes. In some games, they can be summoned by the Potos.

*[[Parpoto|Parpotos]] are Papa potos and are the strongest variant of Poto in games they appear in. They are shown to cast [[Holy Saber]] on themselves to hit the party with light-elemental damage.

Potos return in ''Trials of Mana'' and can be seen inside the [[Seaside Cavern]] of [[Beuca Island]] and later in the [[Frostbite Fields]]. Though not particularily difficult to defeat, they can cast a mulit-target [[Healing Light]] to recover their HP and can summon [[Marmpoto (Trials of Mana)|Marmpotos]].
