He is encountered by [[Mario]] and [[Mallow]] in [[Kero Sewers]] and by the whole party in [[Land's End]]. During the first battle, the monster will eat Mallow after a few turns. Mario can rescue Mallow by attacking Belome continuously, although Belome may still eat him subsequent times. If Mario falls while Mallow is in Belome's stomach, the game will end. Besides eating Mallow, Belome can also attack by licking his opponents and casting [[Scarecrow Funk]]. | |||
In the rematch, Belome trades the Scarecrow Funk attack for more sleeping spells, including [[Light Bubble]] and [[Aurora Flash]]. He also not only eats party members, but also creates clones of them: [[Mario Clone]], [[Mallow Clone]], [[Geno Clone]], [[Bowser Clone]], and [[Peach Clone]] (called "Toadstool 2" clone in the original SNES game, to stay under the character limit). If Mallow uses [[Thought Peek]] on the clones, their thoughts reflect the actual characters' thoughts, with the exception of Mario, whose "....." is a reference to his role as a silent protagonist in the game. In the original game, any active clones must be defeated if Belome is defeated first, whereas in the remake once Belome is defeated, any active clones are instantly defeated. | |||
==History== | |||
Before entering [[Kero Sewers]], [[Mallow]] advises [[Mario]] that [[Frog Sage|his grandfather]] told him to "watch out for Belome", although Mallow does not appear to know what Belome is beyond his name. | |||
[[File:BelomeRPG.png|thumb|left|Belome battling Mario and Mallow in Kero Sewers]] | |||
After exploring the sewers, Mario and Mallow enter a large, mostly empty room with Belome standing in the center. Mallow panics upon realizing the monster before them is Belome, who then attacks them. After battling and defeating him, he tells the heroes the cryptic message: "If you defeat me, you still won't beat me. Beware the flood!" and warps away. When he leaves, the [[! Switch|switch]] he stands on is released, causing the floodgate to open, with the water sweeping Mario and Mallow into [[Midas River]]. | |||
Later in the game Mario and his allies travel to [[Land's End]], where they discover [[Belome Temple]] and find Belome in it. Mario's party again battles Belome and defeat him. After this battle, Belome declares he is starving and disappears for the rest of the game. However, if Mario and his party travel back to Belome Temple, they will discover a Belome in the form of a golden statue, guarding a room full of treasure. If Mario presents Belome the key from [[Monstro Town]], Belome will eat the key and disappear, allowing him to claim the treasure for himself. | |||
In the Nintendo Switch remake, Belome makes a wish after [[Smithy]] is defeated. His wish is for his scratchy throat to go away. Mario and his allies can find Belome in his temple, in which they can battle him again to help remove his scratchy throat. In this fight, he creates stronger clones of the characters he eats, with each summoned clone providing a barrier to protect Belome. After the battle, Belome's throat is cured. Belome also appears in the ending photo. After [[Culex|Culex 3D]] is defeated, and before the credits start, Belome can be seen at Tadpole Pond with [[Toad (species)|Mushroom People]], [[Toadofsky]] and the Frog Sage. | |||

- “C-can't s-stand it! The hunger-the HUNGER!”
- —Belome, Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars
Belome (pronounced "Bel-õm")[1] is a dog-like monster that is perpetually hungry and a minor boss featured in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars and its remake. He is encountered by Mario and Mallow in Kero Sewers and by the whole party in Land's End. During the first battle, the monster will eat Mallow after a few turns. Mario can rescue Mallow by attacking Belome continuously, although Belome may still eat him subsequent times. If Mario falls while Mallow is in Belome's stomach, the game will end. Besides eating Mallow, Belome can also attack by licking his opponents and casting Scarecrow Funk.
In the rematch, Belome trades the Scarecrow Funk attack for more sleeping spells, including Light Bubble and Aurora Flash. He also not only eats party members, but also creates clones of them: Mario Clone, Mallow Clone, Geno Clone, Bowser Clone, and Peach Clone (called "Toadstool 2" clone in the original SNES game, to stay under the character limit). If Mallow uses Thought Peek on the clones, their thoughts reflect the actual characters' thoughts, with the exception of Mario, whose "....." is a reference to his role as a silent protagonist in the game. In the original game, any active clones must be defeated if Belome is defeated first, whereas in the remake once Belome is defeated, any active clones are instantly defeated.
History[edit]
Before entering Kero Sewers, Mallow advises Mario that his grandfather told him to "watch out for Belome", although Mallow does not appear to know what Belome is beyond his name.
After exploring the sewers, Mario and Mallow enter a large, mostly empty room with Belome standing in the center. Mallow panics upon realizing the monster before them is Belome, who then attacks them. After battling and defeating him, he tells the heroes the cryptic message: "If you defeat me, you still won't beat me. Beware the flood!" and warps away. When he leaves, the switch he stands on is released, causing the floodgate to open, with the water sweeping Mario and Mallow into Midas River.
Later in the game Mario and his allies travel to Land's End, where they discover Belome Temple and find Belome in it. Mario's party again battles Belome and defeat him. After this battle, Belome declares he is starving and disappears for the rest of the game. However, if Mario and his party travel back to Belome Temple, they will discover a Belome in the form of a golden statue, guarding a room full of treasure. If Mario presents Belome the key from Monstro Town, Belome will eat the key and disappear, allowing him to claim the treasure for himself.
In the Nintendo Switch remake, Belome makes a wish after Smithy is defeated. His wish is for his scratchy throat to go away. Mario and his allies can find Belome in his temple, in which they can battle him again to help remove his scratchy throat. In this fight, he creates stronger clones of the characters he eats, with each summoned clone providing a barrier to protect Belome. After the battle, Belome's throat is cured. Belome also appears in the ending photo. After Culex 3D is defeated, and before the credits start, Belome can be seen at Tadpole Pond with Mushroom People, Toadofsky and the Frog Sage.
