'''Megabites''' are evil skulls that appear in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'', and can be found in various locations. Their waving purple tails give them a vaguely fish-like appearance. Their name is both a pun and portmanteau of "megabyte", a measurement in computing, and "bite".
'''Megabites''' are strange, evil skulls in the game ''[[Super Paper Mario]]''. They swoop down from the sky at the heroes, dealing 1 damage with each hit. No matter how high the heroes attack power is, they will only take 1 damage per hit. With 4 [[HP]], it will take four hits to defeat.


==Description==
What causes their appearance is unknown. Generally, it is believed they appear when the heroes take too long in a single area in any given level. However, in both Pit Of 100 Trials, they appear immediately upon entrance to the floors they appear on.
In at least one stage within each world, if the player remains in certain areas too long, the game will play an eerie sound cue after 3 to 5 minutes and a Megabite will spawn. They only spawn once per level, and leaving the area won't make them be able to spawn again.


They swoop down from the sky at the player, dealing 1 damage with each hit. Megabites have 4 [[Heart Point|HP]], and will only take 1 damage per hit from any attack.  
Interestingly, the ghostly purple tail they have waves up and down while they are flying, possibly indicating they are vengeful spirits of some kind of fish.


If the player does not defeat a Megabite after about seven swoops, they will eventually [[flee]] without leaving any reward. Megabites appear in the following areas:

*[[Yold Desert]]

*[[Merlee's Mansion]]
*[[The Bitlands]]
*[[Fort Francis]]
*[[Planet Blobule]]
*[[Downtown of Crag]]
*[[Gap of Crag]]
*[[The Overthere]]
 
Megabites have a chance of dropping items such as a [[Shooting Star (item)|Shooting Star]], a [[Thunder Rage]], or, more rarely, a [[Catch Card SP]] upon defeat, as well as lots of [[coin]]s.
 
Megabites won't spawn if [[Mario]] or the other characters are in an elevated area. However, once the player leaves and comes to the ground, a Megabite immediately spawns, if enough time had passed.
