| The '''Earth Vellumental''' is a [[Vellumentals|Vellumental]] and the first [[List of bosses|boss]] fought in ''[[Paper Mario: The Origami King]]''. It is a giant origami turtle with a color scheme that makes it resemble a [[Koopa Troopa]]. It resides in the [[Earth Vellumental Temple]] within [[Picnic Road]], worshipped as a god by the Koopa Troopas. [[Mario]] and [[Olivia]] encounter it after falling down a hole deep inside of the temple. It is based on the {{wp|Black Tortoise}}. | | |image=[[File: PMOK Earth Vellumental.jpg|200px]] |

| [[File:PMTOK Mario vs Earth Vellumental.jpg|thumb|left|Mario faces off against the Earth Vellumental]]
| | To defeat this boss, the player must first hit its tail, which makes it tuck inside of its shell. Then, the player must land on the [[1,000 Fold Arms]] space to grab its shell and hit it multiple times, defeating it. |
| The Earth Vellumental's shell is invulnerable to damage; as Jump attacks land there, they are ineffective. Instead, Mario must end up either in front of its legs, head, or tail (its main weak spot) and use a Hammer or Flower attack, dealing damage and causing the hit limb to retract. Attacking in the space between the limbs will do very little damage.
| |
|
| |
|
| When the Earth Vellumental attacks, if a leg was attacked the previous turn and the head is still exposed, it will use Sandblast. If the head was attacked and a leg is exposed, it will use Earthquake. If neither attack can be used, it will use Tremor Tail.
| | After defeating it, Olivia gets the power to transform into the Earth Vellumental on certain [[Magic Circle]]s. She does so to help Mario out of the temple and to lower the [[Overlook Tower]]. |
|
| |
|
| When battled the first time, Olivia will instruct Mario to hit the boss's front left leg, then its front right leg, before the player can choose their target.
| | ==Attacks== |
| | | *'''Sandblast''': The boss spits dirt three times at Mario, it uses this attack when only his legs are attacked. |
| Once the player thinks they are able to finish the Earth Vellumental off, the player can then hit its tail, which deals heavy damage to the boss and makes all of its limbs retract. It then uses Rough Landing and starts charging Mega Earthquake. The player must then use the [[1,000-Fold Arms]] to grab its shell, flip it, and initiate a rush attack by hitting it multiple times. However, if the attack does not defeat the Earth Vellumental, it will use Terrepair. As such, the player must be wary of how much damage they think the rush attack will do and plan to hit the tail accordingly.
| | *'''Earthquake''': It hits the ground with one of its legs to create an earthquake on the column of spaces where Mario is. It uses this attack after his head is attacked. |
| | | *'''Tremor Tail''': It turns around and smashes its tail on Mario. It uses this attack when only its tail is exposed. |
| After defeating the Earth Vellumental, its [[Magic Circle]] appears, along with its [[Bibliofold]]. Olivia uses the Bibliofold to learn how to fold into the Vellumental, and uses it to raise the arena ground.
| | *'''Rough Landing''': It pounds the ground with its shell. This happens after it tucks its entire body in its shell. |
| | | *'''Mega Earthquake''': It charges for two turns and afterwards jumps high in its shell and hits the ground, creating an earthquake that covers the entire arena and causes a lot of damage. |
| Additionally, in the first phase of his battle, [[King Olly]] may transform into the Earth Vellumental during his boss fight. If he does so, he will immediately charge up to use Mega Earthquake the next turn. Additionally, hitting his tail will not make it retract. Instead, Mario must use the [[Ice Vellumental]] to freeze him.
| | *'''Terrepair''': If Mario fails to finish off the boss with the 1,000 Fold Arms, it heals itself and returns to its first phase. |
| | |
| ===Attacks===
| |
| *'''Sandblast''': The boss spits dirt three times at Mario. This hits for 6-8 damage on the first ring, 5-7 damage on the second ring, and 4-6 damage on the third ring. | |
| *'''Earthquake''': The boss hits the ground with one of its legs, creating an earthquake on the column of spaces where Mario is. If Mario is in one of the two rings closer to the boss, it deals 9-12 damage, but if he is in the rings father away, it deals 8-11. | |
| *'''Tremor Tail''': The boss turns around and smashes its tail on Mario, sending him back to the first ring. This attack deals a maximum of 11-14 damage on the first ring, but the amount decreases by 1 for each ring farther away Mario is. | |
| *'''Rough Landing''': The boss jumps and pounds the ground with its shell. This deals a maximum of 6-10 damage if Mario is on the closest ring, but the amount decreases by 1 for each ring farther away he is. | |
| *'''Mega Earthquake''': The boss charges for two turns and afterwards jumps high in its shell and hits the ground, creating an earthquake that covers the entire arena. It deals a maximum of 34-39 damage on the first ring, but the amount decreases by 5 for each ring farther away Mario is. | |
| *'''Terrepair''': The boss heals itself for around 40 HP and exposes some of its limbs, returning to its first phase. | |
| | |
| ==Magic Circle locations==
| |
| With the Biblifold of the Earth Vellumental in hand, Mario is required to use its power for the following actions:
| |
| *Lower a mound of dirt holding up [[Overlook Tower]] on top of [[Overlook Mountain]].
| |
| *Raise the [[Temple of Shrooms]] from the ground in [[Scorching Sandpaper Minor]]. The Magic Circle appears after lighting the four Toad towers around the desert.
| |
| *Raise up the central portion of the Crescent Moon Island, turning it into [[Full Moon Island]]. The Magic Circle appears after defeating a [[Sidestepper]] fished from the fishing area.
| |
| *Lower a mound of dirt holding up the [[Trial of Power]] in [[Diamond Island (Paper Mario: The Origami King)|Diamond Island]].{{footnote|main|1}}
| |
| *Lower a mound of dirt holding up the Earth Vellumental pillar on top of the [[Sea Tower]].{{footnote|main|1}}
