Frying pan

Frying pans are used as weapons in all of the Mother games, primarily in the first and second games. They are mainly used by Ana and Paula, but can also be utilized by Kumatora. Their main purpose is to increase a character's Offense.

The frying pans in Mother are equippable items that only can be used by Ana. There is a total of three different frying pans that can be obtained throughout the game, with varying Offense increasing values.
