Parassault



Parassault is an early game enemy that is able to trap you in place with Ice Knife. Its Healing Lv 1 heals it for 0 HP due to both low elements(effectively 2) and due to having too low of Hit Points as is. There is no real way to avoid the enemy attack due to its homing properties.

The Gameboy variant is just as bad, but it cannot attempt to heal itself, so whether close or far away, you'll likely be hit by an attack.

Trivia

 * In the N64 versions, this is enemy byte value 5.
 * This is one of the few enemies who will only appear with exactly one other enemy itself, but never by itself directly. Bumbershoot is the only one with the same distinction, being its partner. Many enemies often appear with only one other enemy type nearby, like Gremlin's only partner will ever be Ork Jr.
 * This makes Holy Plain a unique place due to a special group like this.
 * Bumbershoot happens to be named after an umbrella, making the pair fit even more heavily together. Bumbershoot is also Fire, complimenting their differences.
 * Its name origin(in the US games) is Parasol + Assault. It's fittingly a Water monster.
 * It has a palette swap in Gremlin. Bumbershoot shares similar animations as well, being a revision of the model used.
 * This is the only monster with Healing Lv 1 that'll naturally Heal 0 HP. Later monsters Heal more due to simply better stats.
 * The enemy's A.I. is unique between the two game versions. In the N64 version, the far attack is Healing Lv 1. Ice Knife is close/mid range instead. In the Gameboy version, Ice Knife is the far attack, while its close range is Physical.
 * It has a heart on its skirt. Bumbershoot has a clubs on its skirt. And Gremlin has a diamond on its skirt.
 * This has led to a theory that a fourth monster, likely a palette swap of Bumbershoot, was intended at one point. Being Earth to compliment all 3 card suits being unique.
 * The skirts themselves are unique colors, representing the proper elements(Blue for Parassault, Red for Bumbershoot, and White for Gremlin).
 * The suits are also different, being Pink, Black, and Red respectively.
