Swoopula

Swoopula appeared in 2000 video game called Paper Mario. Swoopulas are a more powerful variety of Swoopers in Paper Mario and Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. They attack by leeching HP from Mario or his Partner in a similar manner to a Fuzzy attack. At the start of battle, Swoopulas are perched on the ceiling and can be knocked down with an item, Special Move, most partner moves, the Quake Hammer or Hammer Throw abilities, or a Superguard. In Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, Swoopulas start battle in the air rather than on the ceiling.

Swoopula's name is based off of the vampire, Count Dracula.
