Battle Edit
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 Edit
Curing Virus with Vaccines should be a priority. Eiko can bypass the effects of Virus by equipping the Guardian Mog ability.

Etymology Edit
"Malboro" may derive from the Japanese onomatopoeia boro, the sound of an upset stomach. Their name is most likely derived from the Latin and Greek words mal (meaning bad) and boros (meaning breath), a reference to their infamous attack. The name could also be a reference to Marlboro Cigarettes, since the creatures often spew horrid fumes.
