Bomberman Story
Karabons
Karabons are creatures that can be found throughout Bomberman's quest. Each one has a unique ability that can be used on the overworld - anything from granting the ability to kick bombs or warp around the world, to serving as glorified keys for mystical doors.

There are three types of Karabon:
Normal (ノーマル) Karabon can only be raised as high as Level 60, and have a maximum of 180HP. They only have one Type.
Fused (合成) Karabon have two Types, and can be raised up to Level 70, with a maximum of 210HP. Acquired by fusing two Karabons with SID. Usually.
Legendary (伝説) Karabon have three Types, can and can be raised up to Level 85, with a maximum of 255HP.
Raising Karabons
| Upgrading a Karabon's stats isn't a difficult task. Destroying soft blocks throughout the overworld will net you Karabon Panels - these icons will increase the attack, defence, and special attack stats of your currently selected Karabon.

Karabon battling
TYPE WEAKNESSES 
|
Karabon battling is a rather hands-off affair. You select your Karabon, and then select 3 Strategies: this determines what moves your Karabon will use and in what order, either attack, defend or special attack.
Each Karabon has a type of either earth, electricity, fire or water; this element is reflected by their special attack. If the Karabon is weak against that type attack, they will suffer double-damage; otherwise it will issue regular damage. If they are resistant to it, no damage will be dealt at all.
The Karabons' maximum statistics are listed first (ATK is Attack, DEF is Defence, and SPC is Special), followed by their type. A description of the ability they offer Bomberman, and then where they can be found.
The letter next to their number designates whether they are Normal, Fused or Legendary.
If the Japanese and English names differ, the English names are presented in brackets.
