Hello, and welcome to Monster Appreciation Week!

This week we look at the Balloon Bat, Paolumu!



Interesting Facts About Paolumu

 * Paolumu is a bat-like Flying Wyvern that inhabits the Coral Highlands.
 * It gets the title Floating Sky Wyvern (Japanese 浮空竜) from its ability to float in the sky. Paolumu has unique sacs in its body, used for sucking in large amounts of air, that allow it to float in the sky without the use of its wings. By inflating its neck, Paolumu is able to float in the sky like a balloon. It is also able to breathe gusts of wind at foes, like Kushala Daora, by using some of that stored air in its sacs.
 * Covering Paolumu's tail, underbelly, and legs are a hard material that can easily injure some threats and protect some of its more vulnerable areas.
 * Paolumu's favorite meal is coral eggs. It is known to feed on those when the land coral begins to spawn.
 * It can often be seen eating them with the Raphinos.
 * Paolumu can sometimes be seen fighting Legiana.
 * Legiana are highly territorial in nature.
 * They've also been seen fighting Odogaron rarely.
