The Staff of Paralysis (Japanese: かなしばりの杖) is a staff introduced to the Super Famicom release of Mystery Dungeon: Shiren the Wanderer (game). When swung, it will fire a bolt that will paralyze its target. This effect lasts indefinitely, unless used against Shiren (in which case it lasts for several turns). Monsters of the Tiger Uho family can throw paralyzed Monsters at you or vice versa, waking them up in the process.

Tips For Use

• Paralyzed enemies do not become un-paralyzed if you attack them and miss. So, if you are confident that you are guaranteed to kill an enemy with a single hit, using a Staff of Paralysis before attacking them in combat can be one of the best ways to deal with monsters who have item-destroying, draining, sleeping, or other nasty "single hit will ruin your day"-type powers.
• Paralyzed monsters in hallways effectively block that hallway against other monsters. This technique can be very useful in a Monster House (if you need a rest) or when you are attempting to steal from a Shopkeeper (if you want to "fence in" the Sheriffs and Guard Dogs).
