The '''Swampire''' is a green version of the [[Swoop]]er and the strongest of its species in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. Its name is a portmanteau of the words "Swooper" and "vampire". Swampires hide in the darkness, and can suck [[Mario]]'s health and add it to their own. Their coloration is very similar to the Swoopers from ''[[Super Mario World]]''. Swampires have extremely high [[Heart Point|HP]], as well as high attack power. Equipping the [[Zap Tap]] badge or using a [[Volt Shroom]] prevent Swampires from doing any harm to Mario and/or his active partner.

'''Swampires''' are a powerful variant of the [[Swoop]]er and the strongest of its relatives found in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'' and its [[Nintendo Switch]] [[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Nintendo Switch)|remake]]. Its name is a portmanteau of the words "Swooper" and "vampire", referring to its batlike nature and health-sucking ability. Swampires have notably high [[Heart Point|HP]], tied with several enemies for the second highest HP of any non-boss enemy after the [[Dark Koopatrol]]. Like other HP-sucking enemies, such as [[Fuzzies]], they replenish lost health equal to the amount of damage dealt to their attack's target. However, this ability is disabled by the [[Electrified]] status, incapable of damaging the affected target regardless of the Swampire's attack power.
[[Swoopula]]s are lesser cousins of Swampires, and act similar to [[Fuzzy|Fuzzies]].


Swampires cannot be battled during the main story of ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door''. They are only encountered after floor 90 in the [[Pit of 100 Trials (Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door)|Pit of 100 Trials]].
