Characteristics: Paolumu eats eggs in the Choral Highlands. It can fly, using its air sack, and attacks with its hard tail.

Habitat: Choral Highlands

In order to stand the best chance against this enemy, consider the following information:

1. Paolumu cannot move freely when its sacks are not inflated. Try aiming at the inflated parts of its body or performing longer attacks in order to force the creature to use the accumulated air. The best strategy is to fight the monster on the ground.
