Malboro from FFXI


The Malboro is a mutanous form of plantlife that lacks the ability of photosynthesis and must feed on other creatures to survive. The Malboro is a fearsome foe most despised due to its horrible "Bad Breath" attack which inflicts a vast amount of status effects, capable of obliterating an entire party in a matter of seconds. The Malboro as seen in the various titles developed by Square Enix is a powerful enemy often encountered in middle to late parts of the game. (The name 'Malboro' may be a joke within the Final Fantasy series, naming it after the cigarette brand Marlboro as it uses the ability 'Bad Breath'. It is also possible it was comprised from Latin Mal, meaning bad, and Greek Boros, meaning breath.)


Malboros have appeared in Final Fantasy I, II, IV, VI through XII, Tactics, Tactics Advance, and Crystal Chronicles. They also appear in Chocobo's Dungeon 2, in Chocobo Racing, in Dice de Chocobo, in Final Fantasy Fables: Chocobo Tales, in Itadaki Street Portable, in Mario Hoops 3-on-3 during the Malboro Garden stage, and as a "Marboro Stew" in episode six of Final Fantasy Unlimited. In the GBA remake of Final Fantasy VI, there is a boss called "Worst Marlboro", which uses blaster, an instant kill move, and later, in the battle, the player has to battle four at the same time.
