Stats[]
Battle[]
Malboro is probably the least dangerous of the enemies in Darill's Tomb, as it is the only one that cannot inflict the 
Zombie status. Instead, they have a 33% chance of using Bad Breath on their second turn, inflicting one character with various status ailments. Their special attack, Drool, inflicts sap on a party member. Fira spells work best to defeat them quickly.
