Contents

[edit] Appearance

Paras is very crablike, having six legs. The front two legs are very large, allowing Paras to grip on to prey and its environment. The most distinct feature are the two mushrooms on its back.

[edit] Special Abilities

Paras can have the ability Effect Spore or Dry Skin. Effect Spore allows Paras to have a 10% chance to paralyze, burn, or poison a foe. The foe must be using a physical attack in order for this to happen. Dry Skin causes Paras to recover HP when it is raining and lose HP when it is sunny. The mushrooms on Paras' back have a mutualism with each other. The mushrooms get energy from Paras, while Paras gets to create spores.
