Monster Ability

If a Rice Baby family monster trips on a Riceball Trap, it will level up.

Level 1: No special ability.

Levels 2 & 4: Can use its "rice breath" to turn one of Shiren's items in the inventory into a Big Riceball. If a jar is turned into a Big Riceball, its contents are lost.

Effect when Sealed

When Sealed, Rice Baby family monsters can no longer turn Shiren's items into Big Riceballs, or turn Shiren into a riceball. They will instead always attack.
