In Battle
Appears With
- Final Froggit
- Astigmatism
- Parsnik (Hard Mode)
- Moldessa (Hard Mode)
Attacks
- Butterflies circle the protagonist's SOUL counter-clockwise (2 of these butterflies will be green if you Pray).
- Butterflies rise from the bottom of the screen three at a time in rapid succession.
Strategy
- To spare this monster, you first need to Pray and then collect at least one of the green butterflies on screen. These also heal the protagonist for 1HP each.
- It is also possible to spare this monster by praying twice, even if no green butterflies are collected.
- It is also possible to spare this monster by consoling it.
- If found with Astigmatism, challenging Astigmatism will also meet Whismalot's spare conditions.
- Note that this method will also work for Final Froggit.

Trivia
- Whimsalot's name comes from Whimsun and Lancelot, the most famous knight of King Arthur's Round Table. Its name also may come from the fact that it "whims a lot."
- Whimsalot is part of the Reaper Bird, one of the Amalgamates.
- Losing its mask when spared or killed may be a reference to the battles with Meta Knight from the Kirby series. When defeated, the character in question loses his mask, then disappears.
- As well as Whimsun, Whimsalot has quotes and flavor text that may be interpreted as references to depression and suicide.
