In fact, these creatures are not only magical staffs, but powerful magic users as well. As such, Orb Users were used as guards in [[Booster Tower]], aiding other minions of [[Booster]] in combat by using their magic spells. Orb Users never fight by themselves. |

| The top of an Orb User's body is a red head with two black eyes and two large horns. In between the horns is a glowing magical orb that hovers above the Orb User's head. Using this powerful orb, the Orb Users can use a wide variety of magical spells, primarily fire-based attacks. These spells include [[Flame (move)|Flame]], [[Flame Wall]], [[Bolt (move)|Bolt]], and [[Recover]]. | | The top of the Orb User's staff has an orange head with two black eyes and two large horns. In between the horns is a glowing magical orb that hovers above the Orb User's head. This orb is the source of the monster's magic. Using this powerful orb, this strange creature can use a wide variety of magical spells, primarily fire-based attacks. These spells include [[Flame]], [[Flame Wall]], [[Bolt]] (a weak wind-aligned magic attack), and the curative technique [[Recover]]. |

| An Orb User has a very high defense rating, making most attacks deal only one [[Heart Point|HP]] worth of damage. Fortunately, an Orb User only has eight Hit Points, offsetting their high defense and recovery spells.

| A more powerful variant of Orb User, known as [[Orbison]], appears in [[Nimbus Land]] when it is taken over by [[Valentina]].
| | Interestingly, for some unknown reason, Orb Users hate [[Kinklinks]]. |
