Water Vellumental

The Water Vellumental is a boss in Paper Mario: The Origami King that has the power to manipulate water to it's will. It is a Vellumental who makes it's lair in the Water Vellumental Shrine found at Autumn Mountain. It was folded by King Olly into Origami in the early events of the game.
After defeating it, Olivia can learn it's folding techniques, and will be able to transform into her version of the vellumental.
== Profile ==
=== Physical description ===
The Water Vellumental is an origami dragon. It has four pointy dark blue legs, a cyan head, and a long cyan tail. It's body is cyan on top, with light blue on it's belly. It has light blue wings, and a row of five spikes on it's spine.
Usually, the dragon flies. However, once attacked, it must stay low.
It's head, legs and tails are it's weaknesses, which Mario can attack with hammers dealing massive damage when it's grounded.
Defeating the Vellumental drops a Water Bibliofold, which allows Olivia to learn how to fold into a Water Vellumental.
=== Powers and abilities ===
==== Before Spin ====
* Summon Spouts - Summon a number of water spouts to the Inner Circle, each targeting an angle of the battlefield. The number of spouts varies, from 2 to 6. They will stay until it uses Wash Away at the end of it's turn.
** Wash Away: When Mario finishes spinning the battlefield, it uses the Wash Away ability. The spouts go on their respective lines, wiping out things on their way.
==== On its turn ====
* Bite- If the Vellumental is grounded and Mario is facing it, it will bite him, dealing damage once.
* Flying bite - If Mario is on high ground (risen by Olivia's Earth Vellumental power), and the Vellumental is Flying, it will use Flying Bite. Deals damage once.
* Wing Ding - If the Vellumental is not flying and mario is at it's side, it uses its wing to hit Mario, dealing damage once.
* Big Wave - If the Vellumental's belly is full (after using Soak Up 3 times), it uses Big Wave. It throws the water out, deals big damage to units on the board. Mario can dodge if he is on high ground.
* Skip turn - It does nothing on it's turn.
==== End of turn ====
* Soak Up (unofficial name) - When it is not drained, it uses Soak Up. It will suck up water into its belly, getting bigger each time. After 3 times, it will then use Big Wave.
* Fly (unofficial name) - After Drained or Ground phase, it uses Fly to return to its Flying phase.
=== Hints ===
* When a water vellumental takes flight, bring its down with a jump, then follow up with your hammer!
==Biography==
== In Paper Mario: The Origami King ==
The Water Vellumental makes it's lair in the Water Vellumental Shrine found on Autumn Mountain. By defeating it, Olivia can learn it's folding techniques, allowing to transform into her version of the vellumental.
===Combat===
==== Belly states ====
During combat, the Water Vellumental will Soak Up, filling it's stomach with water at the end of it's turn. There are a total of 4 states: Empty, 1/3 filled, 2/3 filled, and Full.
When Mario begins combat, it begins with Empty phase. It will Soak Up after any attack, except for Big Wave, where it becomes Drained instead.
After three Soak Ups, it reaches Full state. During Mario's turn, it cannot be forced to change from Flying phase to Ground phase using Jump attacks. During it's turn, it will use the Big Wave ability. This forces it to Drain Phase and Empty belly state.
==== Flying phase ====
Water Vellumental is quite invulnerable in it's flying phase. Mario cannot hit it with Olivia's Earth Vellumental attack, hammer attack or 1,000-Fold Arms attack, and jumping does very little damage but forces it to the ground.
==== Ground phase ====
After Mario jumps on it, it will drop to the ground, becoming vulnerable to other attacks. It can not be grounded when Full. After it's turn, it will rise again into the air, unless Drained.
==== Drained phase ====
The Water Vellumnetal is very vulnerable in its drained phase. It would skip one turn after entering this state. After skipping it's turn, it enters flying phase, repeating the process until defeated.
