Strategy/Usage
Normal Form
This form is useless by design. Similarly to the other cats from Tales of the Nekoluga, this cat is not meant to be used until it evolves.
Evolved Form
Balaluga's damage is abysmally low, but can be used as great support due its long-ranged freeze, giving other units more time to attack.
Another use for it would be to stop long-ranged enemies that can constantly attack your units while they are being approached, such as Camelle or Master A. If you have free money, you could use this tactic along with a bunch of Rusher-class cats or to get a free attack with A. Bahamut.
On the flip side, Balalan Pasalan has a long cooldown between attacks, meaning it shouldn't be used as your only source of crowd control in a level, unless the level doesn't require it.
True Form
Piccolan Pasalan gains weaken and has its freeze time increased by 0.67 seconds, leaving it with a freeze time of 3 seconds. The weaken duration is 6 seconds, but effectively only 3, since during the first 3 seconds of the weaken duration the enemy will be stopped anyway, unless the enemy has freeze immune. This combo of abilities makes it very useful for enemies with powerful attacks, as the freeze time will give your cats some time to hit without being hit back, and the weaken afterward will help halve the damage taken after the freeze wears off for 3 seconds.

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 presumably 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/neck/shoulders as well as bone-like objects clutching his torso orb. The attack animation is the same except that the flash is now pinkish-red.

Trivia
- 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, hara (ばら, Stomach).
- "Piccolan" is derived from the Japanese word pika (ぴか), an onomatopoeic word for something that is flashing or glittering, referencing its attack.
- Ironically, Balalan Pasalan and Piccolan Pasalan both deal less damage than their initial form.
- Piccolan Pasalan's design references 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.
- Balalan Pasalan has the lowest attack power of any Uber Rare.
- He has the second lowest DPS out of all cats in the game, with only 11 DPS at level 30, which is even lower than Zamboney Cat's DPS, which is 32 at level 30. Only Healer has lower DPS than both, having only 4 DPS at level 30.
- Balaluga and Papaluga are the only Lugas without traditional cat ears.
- His picture in his True Form is so big that the golden hue is hardly visible (if you have a good eye, you will see it at the bottom-left corner).
