The '''Swampire''' is a green version of the [[Swooper]] in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''; its name is even a combination of the words ''Swooper'' and ''vampire''. Swampires hide in the darkness, and can suck [[Mario]]'s health and add it to its own. Swampires resemble the Swoopers from ''[[Super Mario World]]'', as they, too, were green. Swampires have  extremely high [[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.


[[Swoopula]]s are lesser cousins of swampires, and act similar to a [[Fuzzy]].
'''Swampires''' are a powerful variant of the [[Swoop]]er and the strongest of its relatives found in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. 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.

Variant of Swooper

Swampires are a powerful variant of the Swooper and the strongest of its relatives found in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. Its name is a portmanteau of the words "Swooper" and "vampire", referring to its batlike nature and health-sucking ability. Swampires have notably high 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.

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.
