Ground Slider - Primordial Malzeno puts its wing on the ground and swipes in front of itself, kicking up rocks and hitting targets in a wide arc in front if it with a violent wave. It will follow up the attack with a second wing swipe from the same wing. Be careful of getting caught by the first wave, as it may guarantee that you will get caught by the second one too.
Backwards Stab - Primordial Malzeno glances behind choosing a target, then stabs at them with its tail and without turning its body.

Qurio Beam - Primordial Malzeno covers itself with its wings while charging up. Three lines of pink/red light appear in front of it while charging up. After a brief moment, it shoots out powerful beams made from the Qurio where the glowing lights were. Position yourself between the three glowing beams to avoid getting hit. Only performed while enraged.
