Bad Breath, also known as Breath or Sour Mouth, is an enemy skill used by the recurring Malboro enemies. In most games the attack can be learned as Blue Magic. It inflicts multiple status ailments, occasionally with a small amount of damage.
The attack itself is used by Chimera Sphinx enemies, which appear in the Jade Passage (second-to-last dungeon). However, the Malboro enemies instead can inflict a myriad of status effects by simply attacking.
Only the final boss The Cloud of Darkness can use this ability, it only affects one party member.
The Malboro enemies use Breath as their opening attack. It only affects one party member.
The Malboro and Great Malboro use this attack sometimes when left alone. Strago can learn it as a Lore from them. It only affects one party member.
Bad Breath is an Enemy Skill learned through the enemy Malboro. It casts a variety of status effects on all enemies, including: Frog, Mini, Poison, Silence, and Sleepel.

Quistis can learn this as a Limit Break from the Malboro Tentacles. It inflicts various statuses to all enemies depending on Quistis' Crisis Level:

Kimahri can learn this Ronso Rage by using Lancet on a Malboro or Great Malboro. The latter enemy always opens battle with this attack.
