Besieged/Enemies in Besieged

Mamool Ja Savages
In contrast to their name, the Mamool Ja Savages are actually a highly disciplined military force. A specific military role is automatically assigned to every Mamool Ja citizen based on social classification, and their discipline is a direct result of the intensive training they receive in order to carry out their duties. The army is comprised of units that specialize in one particular field of battle. Supposedly, to prevent infighting amongst the different classes, the soldiers are given no opportunities to learn skills outside of their specialization. However, this also means that troops trained to undertake a certain task cannot be easily replaced should they fall--a fatal chink in the Mamool Ja's armor.

The warrior class of the Mamool Ja. On the battlefield, these ferocious combatants wield weapons of unique design and are seen as being either incredibly courageous or foolishly reckless. They excel at sudden assaults, but have little patience for drawn-out conflicts.
 * Mamool Ja Fighter

The sage class of the Mamool Ja. Many of the Mamool Ja mages are assigned to positions that utilize their extraordinary intelligence and magical prowess. The ability to swivel their eyes in any direction also complements their roles as officers and physicians.
 * Mamool Ja Mage

The knight class of the Mamool Ja. Mamool Ja hussars mount trained wivres for the purpose of combat. They are skilled in the throwing angons and are decent in the art of white magic. They mostly rely on the wivre for physical power, namely defense.
 * Mamool Ja Hussar

Discovered by Professor Clavauert and named after the eccentric frog princess Samariri, these beastmen were born in the Age of Magic. Feeling sorry for the toads that were trampled on the paths of Windurst Waters, Samariri cast a spell that made the toads grow and allowed them to walk on two feet. The Poroggos eventually learned the Tarutaru language and the arts of magic and saw themselves as brothers and sisters to the people of Vana'diel, but the Windurstian military quickly disposed of what they saw as a threat. They were originally believed to be a myth or extinct but have recently resurfaced and joined the Mamool Ja Savages, presumably seeking revenge on the Tarutaru race.
 * Poroggo

The war birds of the Mamool Ja. Generally employed as pack animals, the ziz possess an aggressive demeanor and are occasionally released to wreak havoc upon enemy forces. They have a tendency to become fixated on prey that is small enough to swallow whole.
 * Ziz

Pronounced "pook," this small, winged beast is believed to be the artificial combination (chimera) of a dragon and some kind of vermin. Also known as "wind wyverns." Puks are capable of comprehending speech, and are known to sometimes enter the service of the Mamool Ja Savages. They are swift fliers, adept at scouting out enemy territory and harrying opponents with wind-based attacks.
 * Puk

Troll Mercenaries
Emerging from the recesses of Mount Zhayolm and Halvung, the Troll Army is a decently organized fighting force. The Trolls' ancestors served as a mercenary unit in the Imperial Army, and were afterwards hired by the Moblins. The reasons for their move to Mount Zhayolm are debatable, but they were able to maintain autonomy over their mercenary lands (also known as Halvung Territory) by paying tribute to the Empire until the conflict for the Astral Candescence began. With the motivating force of recovering autonomy over their mercenary lands, the Troll Mercenaries are a highly determined fighting force. Their might and hostility towards Aht Urhgan make the Trolls the Imperial capital's greatest threat. These Trolls are usually the backline soldiers of the Troll Mercenaries. They are known to carry naptha-powered incendiary weapons. They also have practice in the arts of engineering and magic. While Troll cannoneers lack in heavy armor, they make up for this with their hand-to-hand and dagger skills.
 * Troll Cannoneer

These Trolls are the frontline soldiers of the Troll Mercenaries. They carry mass-produced cast metal helmets. They wear heavy armor and are often seen with a club and a shield. They wield giant swords and axes. Because of their experience in fighting, they often command the Troll Army during battles.
 * Troll Hoplite

The Trolls that undergo anatomy-enhancing surgical operations in order to survive in the harshest of environments. Most of their skills involve utilizing their unique gigantic hammers, usually by wacking their opponents with it.
 * Troll Destroyer

Although their bodies are pliable and gelatinous, flan also possess large, sharp eyes used in searching out prey, and a flexible mouth filled with fangs. Despite their outward appearance, flan are also known for being highly intelligent, and reports of flan using extraordinarily powerful magic are not uncommon. However, they are unskilled in suppressing their emotions, and a flan's mood tends to have an enormous effect on its actions.
 * Flan

Giant insects that are found in colonies in the Halvung Territory. The Trolls have trained both the full-grown and larval (also known as wamouracampa) forms. These vermin manipulate the power of fire to their advantage, both offensively and defensively.
 * Wamoura

These crimson crawlers live around the volcanic region of the Halvung Territory. They tend to have various behaviours and attributes, depending on the time and weather. They assist the Troll forces with their incinerating breath attacks.
 * Eruca

The Undead Swarm
The undead swarm is very simply organized, consisting only of manipulators and the manipulated. The Lamiae and Merrows themselves created the undead, but have no misgivings about expending them in order to survive or accomplish a goal. The undead can only follow the simplest instructions, and thus present very little threat when alone. In battle, however, the undead are so numerous that losses are of no concern, and storm tactics tend to prevail over sophisticated strategies. These artificially created beastmen (chimeras) command the undead swarm in battle. Although their numbers are few, the Lamiae are extremely cunning, and often confound the Imperial Army with feint attacks and other deceptive strategies. Lamiae always send their troops before them in battle as they decimate their opponents from afar with powerful magic and archery.
 * Lamia

A close relation of the Lamiae, the Merrow is a type of amphibious chimera. Although they reside in the Cyan Deep, Merrows occasionally respond to the Lamiae's requests and venture to the scene of battle accompanied by hordes of undead raised from watery graves. Merrows can also use their enchanting voices to draw in even the most experienced sailors.
 * Merrow

Presumably a type of arcana made mostly from metal and wood scattered about the Arrapago Reef, animated via Lamian and Merrow magic. Acroliths seemingly think of nothing but fighting, even destroying pieces of their body (and sometimes leaving nothing but legs left) to damage opponents.
 * Acrolith

Although qutrub only have a few shreds of their will remaining, they have pledged their undying loyalty to the Lamiae. Still afflicted by the desires of the living and possessing surprising strength, the qutrub are often utilized in raids on Al Zahbi. Their short swords can be used to devastating effect.
 * Qutrub

Supposedly a variety of Near Eastern ghosts that were violently killed and did not receive proper funeral rites. Now they roam dark and empty place, occasionally aiding the Lamiae. They feed on the intestines of the living and their attack on people inflicts sickness or even kills.
 * Bhoot

These undead skeletons are completely controlled by the curse of the Lamiae. Draugar possess no emotion and feel no pain. They merely fight until they can no longer move, but are capable of little more than the most basic behavior. Their ranks are easily replenished, so draugar are often used as a stalling tactic.
 * Draugar

Sub Bosses
The majority of these enemies are the original Notorious Monsters (NMs) of Besieged and have the names of regular monsters in Besieged but have the frame and power of a Notorious Monster. The rest of them are "aerial" NMs that start off inside the city when a Besieged starts and are not seen when the beastmen are advancing. Defeat of these fiends yields no extra Experience Points or Imperial Standing credits.

Note: The "aerial" normal monsters are Dive-Puks, Bombshells, and Bhoot Intruders. The aerial notorious monsters, which are included here, are Phantasmal Puks, Aerial Torpedoes, and Bhoot Invaders. You could say that the aerial NMs are sub boss versions of the regular aerial monsters. There seems to be 4 aerial monsters for every aerial NM, but they do not seem to share enmity or be linked in anyway.

Bosses
These adversaries are noticebly stronger than normal enemies and sub bosses that appear during Besieged. These enemies are not seen when their respecteve beastman forces are advancing. They can be divided into "beastman bosses" (begin to appear in level 3 battles),and "monster bosses" (begin to appear in level 5 battles). They seem to be assisted by 3 similar foes each, whom supposedly have hate linked to their "master" (but presumably not vice versa or with each other), but they are not resummoned if defeated. One beastman boss seem to always appear in the first wave of enemies, but the monster bosses do not seem to have any consistency concerning which wave they appear in, although it might always be the second wave. Defeat of these beasts does not give any extra EXP/IS. They quickly run to the Serpent Generals when they appear.

Beastman Bosses
Fleetfingered Mobel Ja (Mamool Ja Savages); Assisted by Mamool Ja Ravager x3

Vyurvarjur the Nimble (Troll Mercenaries); Assisted by Troll Forager x3

Lamia No.4 (Undead Swarm); Assisted by Lamia Freebooter x3

Monster Bosses
Brontobugard (Mamool Ja Savages); Assisted by Bull Bugard x3

Killing Claw (Troll Mercenaries); Assisted by Slaughterous Scorpion x3

Pining Abazohn (Undead Swarm); Assisted by Qutrub Forayer x3

Mega Bosses
These beastmen vary from level to level. These enemies are stronger than normal enemies, sub bosses, and bosses in Besieged. They lead their troops while advancing but appear in the later waves. They have special abilities unique to even other NMs of their kind. Defeating these beastmen earns participating players an extra 80 EXP/IS.

Note: All of the original mega bosses, plus a new one, appear for level 8 attacks, presumably the final level of Besieged.

Beastmen Leaders
Each time a beastman army approaches at level 5 or higher, also leading it will be a unique HNM with significantly higher stamina if they are not defeated outside of Besieged. If they are present, they do not appear inside of the city until the final wave. These HNM's are easily distinguished by their unique character model, size, resiliance and TP moves, and can take well over 30 minutes to defeat even with 700 players focusing all their attention on them. For this reason, it is highly recommended that they be isolated from the rest of the group, and delt with last. Defeat of the Beastmen Leaders yields 200 extra EXP/IS to participating players in Besieged.


 * Gulool Ja Ja - Mamool Ja Savages
 * Uses Mijin Gakure at low health.
 * Vorpal Wheel: Ranged single-target damage (~800) used immediately on anyone who casts elemental magic or a successful enfeeble on it
 * Tyrranic Blare: AoE damage, bypasses shadows
 * Miasma: AoE Poison, Plague, and a strong Slow
 * Decussate: AoE extreme damage, possible to absorb with shadows
 * Rushing Slash: Single-target 4-hit physical damage
 * Gurfurlur the Menacing - Troll Mercenaries
 * Uses Hundred Fists at 50% health.
 * Arcane Stomp: Converts magic damage taken to HP. Highly recommended mages refrain from nuking for the entirity of the fight. Popular conception among players holds that Gurfurlur takes heavy damage from drain and drain-type spells, however other testing has revealed that the player casting drain does not recover HP from the drain. It has also been observed by players who have seen this NM "drain-bombed" that Gurfurlur's HP is recovered, despite the chat log wording. Popular conception is incorrect; Drain should not be used.
 * Head Snatch: Heavy damage (1200+), single target.
 * Haymaker: Moderate AoE front attack. Added effect: Amnesia.
 * Sledgehammer: Moderate AoE front attack. Added effect: Petrify
 * Incessant Fists: Moderate damage, single target.

Main Article: Beastmen Leaders

Besieged-Related
These beastmen, much like the Beastmen Leaders, appear in the beastmen strongholds, but instead of appearing in Besieged, their defeat lowers their respective beastmen military force by 1 point. They behave similar to other Besieged monsters as they will cast buffs randomly and they will even cast buffs that they already have on. Much like Mega Bosses, they have abilities unique even among NMs, but not as unique as beastmen leaders. They now drop equipment that gains extra effects during Besieged.
