If an enemy's HP drops below 25%, Quina can eat it; this defeats the enemy and Quina can learn any Blue Magic from the enemy (if they are available from the enemy).
This does not work on Bosses and certain other enemies.
This ability is required to learn Blue Magic and an enemy only needs to be eaten once to learn the Magic.
Blue Magic is Quina's unique skillset that is a useful set of Magic spells that can only be learned by eating an enemy that knows the spell. These can range from powerful attack spells to defensive and healing spells.

It can still not be used on Bosses.
Quena's Ultimate Weapon is called Gastro Fork.
The weapon can be obtained as a reward for catching 99 frogs in the Frog catching Mini-game.
After catching 99 frogs, Quale will appear and challenge you to a battle and the reward for doing all of this is the Gastro Fork.
