Behind the scenes[edit]

This creature and its descriptions are derived from the notorious Malboro of Final Fantasy, which debuted in Final Fantasy II. These unsightly tentacled meat-eating mutant plants are known to inflict an array of status ailments on their foes with a series of attacks called Bad Breath. The name itself has multiple possible origins, but the most likely to be accurate is that it combines the Latin prefix mal-, meaning bad, and the Japanese onomatopoeia for the gurgling of a sour stomach.
