You can't jump high enough to attack them while they're hanging from the ceiling. An earthquake attack ought to work, though. Flying party members, like Bow or Parakarry, can also attack them with ease. If they fall and begin to flap around, you can attack them by jumping as well.

'''Swoopulas''' are gray batlike creatures, and a more powerful variety of the [[Swoop]]er encountered in the ''[[Paper Mario (series)|Paper Mario]]'' series. It attacks by leeching hit points from [[Mario]] or his [[partner]] in a similar manner to a [[Fuzzy]]'s attack. Its name is based off {{wp|Count Dracula}}, due to its similar health-leeching ability.
'''Swoopulas''' are more powerful species of [[Swooper]]s that absorb [[HP]] from [[Mario]] (taking 2 HP per bite) in ''[[Paper Mario]]'' and ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. Usually at the beginning of battle, they will be perched on the ceiling. To get them down, Mario must hit them with either an item, [[Quake Hammer|Hammer Quake]], [[Hammer Throw (badge)|Hammer Throw]], or a particular partner attack. A [[Superguard]] will also work. In ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'' however, normal Swoopulas start the battle in the air. Unlike the Swoopulas in the first ''Paper Mario'' game, they may only attack once before the battle starts.


==History==
Swoopula's name is based of the vampire, [[wikipedia:Count Dracula|Count Dracula]].
===''Paper Mario''===
In ''[[Paper Mario]]'', Swoopulas appear in the [[Crystal Palace]]. At the start of battle, Swoopulas are perched on the ceiling and can be knocked down with an item, [[List of moves|Special Move]], certain partner moves, or the [[Quake Hammer]] or [[Hammer Throw (badge)|Hammer Throw]] abilities. They fly down briefly to attack but return to their roost unless previously knocked down. They leech two hit points at a time up to five times unless an [[Action Command]] gauge is filled up first, similar to [[Jungle Fuzzy]].


===''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door''===
==Related Species==
In ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'' and its [[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Nintendo Switch)|Nintendo Switch remake]], Swoopulas appear in the [[Palace of Shadow]] and slightly late in the [[Pit of 100 Trials (Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door)|Pit of 100 Trials]]. Unlike the weaker Swoopers, they start battle in the air rather than on the ceiling. Their leeching move now takes four hit points, but cannot hit more than once a turn. An even stronger variant known as [[Swampire]] appears near the end of the Pit of 100 Trials. The Nintendo Switch remake also allows them to use the Swooper's swoop attack.
