Paolumu (female)

Appearance: Bat-like with white fur, pink face, and a hard, scaled tail. Habitat: Coral Highlands (main species) and Wildspire Waste/Ancient Forest (Nightshade). Feeding: Coral eggs (main species). Unique Ability: Expands a neck sac to float and attack with wind pressure. Subspecies: Nightshade Paolumu uses a sleep-inducing gas instead of pure wind pressure. Weaknesses: Fire and blast (both species), can be stunned by attacking the head. Combat Strategies: Stay mobile: Paolumu shifts between aerial and ground combat. Avoid wind pressure: Get out of the way when it uses its neck sac to blow wind. Target the neck: Breaking the air sac reduces its ability to float and use wind attacks. Exploit weaknesses: Fire and thunder elements are effective. For Nightshade: Be aware of the sleep gas and have means to counter it (e.g., Hunting Horn).
