| '''Swoopulas''' are gray batlike creatures, and a more powerful variety of the [[Swoop]]er encountered in the ''[[Paper Mario (series)|Paper Mario]]'' series. It attacks by leeching hit points from [[Mario]] or his [[partner]] in a similar manner to a [[Fuzzy]]'s attack. Its name is based off {{wp|Count Dracula}}, due to its similar health-leeching ability.

| ==History==
| | '''Swoopulas''' are more powerful species of [[Swooper]]s that absorb HP from [[Mario]] (takes 2 HP per bite) in ''[[Paper Mario]]'' and ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door]]''. Usually, at the beginning of battle, they will be perched on the ceiling. To get them down, you must hit them with either an item, Hammer Quake, or Hammer. A [[Superguard]] will also work. |
| ===''Paper Mario''===
| |
| In ''[[Paper Mario]]'', Swoopulas appear in the [[Crystal Palace]]. At the start of battle, Swoopulas are perched on the ceiling and can be knocked down with an item, [[List of moves|Special Move]], certain partner moves, or the [[Quake Hammer]] or [[Hammer Throw (badge)|Hammer Throw]] abilities. They fly down briefly to attack but return to their roost unless previously knocked down. They leech two hit points at a time up to five times unless an [[Action Command]] gauge is filled up first, similar to [[Jungle Fuzzy]].
| |
|
| |
|
| ===''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door''===
| |
| In ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'' and its [[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Nintendo Switch)|Nintendo Switch remake]], Swoopulas appear in the [[Palace of Shadow]] and slightly late in the [[Pit of 100 Trials (Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door)|Pit of 100 Trials]]. Unlike the weaker Swoopers, they start battle in the air rather than on the ceiling. Their leeching move now takes four hit points, but cannot hit more than once a turn. An even stronger variant known as [[Swampire]] appears near the end of the Pit of 100 Trials. The Nintendo Switch remake also allows them to use the Swooper's swoop attack.

| | *'''Tattle:''' Swoopulas attack from the air and cling to you to suck your HP. Hit A repeatedly to fight it off or else it'll keep sucking your HP. You can't jump high enough to attack them while they're hanging from the ceiling. An earthquake attack ought to work, though. Flying party members, like Bow or Parakarry, can also attack them with ease. If they fall and begin to flap around, you can attack them by jumping as well. |
