History[edit]
Paper Mario[edit]
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, Special Move, certain partner moves, or the Quake Hammer or 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[edit]
In Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door and its Nintendo Switch remake, Swoopulas appear in the Palace of Shadow and slightly late in the 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.
