Cat
Evolves into Balalan Pasalan at level 10.
Evolves into Piccolan Pasalan at level 30 using Catfruit.
Pros
- Uber long range.
- Can stop all enemies with 100% chance, including White and Metal enemies.
- True Form increases Freeze duration and 100% Weakens all enemies.
Cons
- Extremely slow recharge time, even for an Uber Rare.
- Slow attack rate and movement speed.
- Pathetic attack damage, along with low health for an Uber Rare. (Though his low damage can be good for stacking.)
- Initial form is useless.
- Only 1 Knockback
Strategy/Usage
- Universally among the Nekoluga family, it's better to use his evolved form or True Form.
- Like the other Nekolugas, this cat is meant to be used in its evolved form as a support unit. It is pointless when it comes to taking out enemies by himself, but it can, however, stop any enemy unit within its very high range attack radius. For this reason, it can be used as a protective enemy-stopping shield for your other Uber Rares or Bahamut Cat to protect them from enemies that progress quickly through your meatshields.
- Another use for it would be to stop long-ranged enemies that can chew through your unit's HP while being approached (such as Camelle or Master A.). If you have free money, you could use this tactic along with a bunch of Lion Cats and Crazed Giraffe Cats.
- On the flip side, this cat has a long cooldown between attacks, meaning it can only be used as a luxury support character, and will never guarantee your victory without a proper line-up or strategy.
- This cat can be used effectively against The Perfect Cyclone, freezing the Cyclone then immediately sending Awakened Bahamut will get at least one knockback on the Cyclone.
- You can use it in Draconian to freeze the Manic King Dragons and send A. Bahamut to deal heavy damage.
Description
English Version
- Normal Form: Not sure if this is a Cat... There's just something about that belly...
- Evolved Form: No. Way. This can't be right... Seems like this one stops all enemies in range.
- True Form: A totally unknown extraterrestrial lifeform of unimaginable power...or just a weird cat? Freezes and weakens all enemies in area attack range.

Appearance
- Normal Form: A small Nekoluga creature, except this one is round, has a long mouth, and has two wisp-like things above his head. Attacks with an energy flash from the wisps (and presumbly from the belly?)
- Evolved Form: Balalan is now giant, with his elbows and mid-torso being replaced by dark orbs. His body appears to be melting around his torso orb. Attacks by lowering himself and then using the orbs to freeze his opponents with a bright blue flash.
- True Form: Balalan remains mostly the same, but now has grey flaps sticking out of his head as well as bone-like objects clutching his torso orb. Attack is the same except that the flash is now pinkish-red.
Trivia
- Among Nekoluga family, his name indicates that he has separate limbs/body parts. Bala-luga might be taken from bara (ばらばら; bara bara), an onomatopoeic word that is used to express scatter/separate/split, or perhaps 腹 (ばら, Stomach).
- Its true form name, piccolan, is derived from the Japanese word pika, ぴか, an onomatopoeic word for something that is flashing or glittering, referencing its attack.
- In its normal form, it does more damage than its evolved form but it does not have its freeze ability (level 20-30).
- Piccolan Pasalan's design greatly resembles the Angel Sachiel from the anime Neon Genesis Evangelion. Similarities include the red core in the center of their bodies, the flaps on the sides of their heads, the "lances" inside their arms, and the rib-like bones clutching their core, in addition to having similar body shapes. Its description states that it may be an extraterrestrial of unfathomable power, further referencing the Angels from the series.
- This may be why it requires one more Yellow (Angel) Catfruit to evolve when compared to the other types of Catfruit it needs.
- This unit has the lowest damage of any Uber Rare.
- Balalan Pasalan is currently the third-longest ranged Uber Rare in the game. (While the first place being Assassinlan Pasalan, second being Evangelist Cat.)
- Balalan Pasalan is one of the only cats in the game with an ability that is effective against all types of enemies, including White and Metal. The others are Asilan Pasalan, Li'l Nyandam, Slug Jockey Cat and God.
- He has the second lowest DPS out of all cats in the game,only 11 DPS at level 30,which even lower than Zamboney Cat's DPS,which is 32 at level 30.Only Magical Healer has lower DPS than him,having only 4 DPS at level 30.
- Among the Nekoluga family, Balaluga is the farthest from looking like a cat. As a matter of fact, it does not have any discernible features remotely close to cat.
