Punch/Slap In an attempt to grab you, Mal'Rocher will punch or slap the player/ally randomly.

Dig This ability is used only when Mal'Rocher appeared before the player, mainly in out of boss room events whereas the player and or allies must flee because they are unable to fight him yet.

Haze A times his very presence and or where he walks causes some ooze or haze to form on the ground, causing the player to walk slowly, and eventually become jinxed if remaining in it for too long.
