Not quite the iconic Malboro of later games in the series (those show up later), Malboros are beefy creatures with a Paralyzing attack. Er, make that five Paralyzing attacks. Lightning works well against them, as does the Orichalcum.

Malboros are pains in the ass. Their Breath ability causes every status ailment in the book, and they'll often follow it up by one-shotting the victim with a physical attack. Turning the tide on them by turning them to Toads is quite amusing, though.

Mad Oscar gets the award for "worst localization of Malboro/Morbol" in the Final Fantasy series. Their Sour Mouth (Bad Breath) Ability hits a single target and inflicts Dark, Poison, Imp, Mute, Muddled, and Psyche. Fire can help cut through their 2,900 HP before they can use Sour Mouth a second time.
