Malboro (Final Fantasy Tactics)
From Final Fantasy Wiki
- "Monster that eats anything with a huge mouth. Its sticky body fluid emits a foul smell."
- —Description
Malboros in Final Fantasy Tactics are the familiar tentacled monstrosities that appear in so many other Final Fantasy games. They have a large amount of HP, but no evasion at all. Malboros' special abilities generally focus on debilitating their enemies with various status effects. They can move on the surface of water and have a weakness to Ice.
[edit] Ranks
- Rank I: Malboro (Morbol)
The quickly-recognized Malboro appears as the standard green monster with orange eyes and a gaping maw.
- Rank II: Ochu
Ochus should be familiar to many Final Fantasy veterans. Their Goo ability can adhere enemies to the ground.
- Rank III: Great Malboro (Great Morbol)
Disgusting Great Malboros can cause a plethora of devastating status effects with "Bad Breath". They also have a ton of HP and can use Malboro Spores to turn a generic enemy permanently into a Malboro.
