Incorrect Naming of the Monster Known as "Stroper"

the stronger versions of this mob in Mor Dhona are called Malboros. Same model, just higher lvl.

Lol. I have always wondered about this. Plant (tobacco) that has bad breath (smoking) and full of diseases... Not condemning smoking if any smokers are reading (I enjoy a cigar every now and then), but just saying.

*giggles*
You're just disappointed that there isn't a phallic stone monster with tentacles (That can become too Soft to live).

I know some are called Stroper in FFXIV, but there are also ones called Marbols as well.

A likely possibility is that it comes from the Japanese onomatopoeia "boro", which is the sound of an upset stomach. Their name may also be derived from the Latin and Greek words "mal" (meaning bad) and "boros" (meaning breath), a reference to their infamous attack. The name could also be a reference to Marlboro Cigarettes, since the creatures often spew horrid-smelling fumes.
