Paralysis (パラライシス, Paralysis) is a PSI ability in all three games of the Mother series. It works on a single enemy, or all enemies, depending on the power level, and causes the affected target to become numb. Paralysis is learned in EarthBound Beginnings by Ana, in EarthBound by Ness, and in Mother 3 by Kumatora.
