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.

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.
