Variant of Pigarithm

The Dark Pigarithm is a pitch black enemy from Super Paper Mario that can be found in the Flopside Pit of 100 Trials. Its name is derived from pig, referring to its pig-like appearance, and logarithm. The Dark Pigarithm is made up of three black piggy-banks connected to one another. Each time it is attacked, one of the piggy-banks is removed, making it smaller and faster. When the last one is destroyed, the player earns a large amount of coins.

Possibly unintended, despite being the strongest type of Pigarithms, they do not award the players any points upon defeating them.

Tattle It's a Dark Pigarithm. They live in the Flopside Pit of 100 Trials... Max HP is ??. Attack is 6. Three stomps should do it in. It gets smaller and faster every time you stomp it... It's hard to get a jump on them when the ceilings are so low... It might be better to use Thoreau to toss it...
