'''HP Drain''' is a [[badge]] in ''[[Paper Mario]]'' and ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. In ''Paper Mario'', it can be bought from [[Merlow]] at [[Star Hill|Shooting Star Summit]] for fifteen [[Star Piece (Paper Mario series)|Star Piece]]s. In ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'', it is found in [[Rogueport]], at an area near the docks accessible through [[Boat Mode]], near [[Fahr Outpost]], inside a red [[? Block]] on the path to the Outpost, and possibly dropped after battle by [[Green Fuzzy|Green Fuzzies]] and [[Swoop]]ers. If [[Mario]] equips it, his attack drops by 1. Additionally, in ''[[Paper Mario]]'', the Badge heals Mario for every enemy he hits, regardless if any damage is dealt, capping at 5. This means a Jump attack will heal 2 [[Health Point|HP]] as opposed to 1 HP gained from using a Hammer attack, whereas Quake Hammer or Multibounce against 5 enemies will net 5 HP. This behavior was changed in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', where any number of attacks will always heal Mario for an amount equal to the number of badges equipped. The badge has a variant named [[HP Drain P]] that affects solely Mario's partner.
