Notes:

• Spawned by trading Clouded Lens to ??? at (K-6)
• Absolutely immune to physical damage(it all misses or the game will declare him out of range) This means he flies like a Wyrm.; Magical Damage, and Ranged damage work.
• Immune to Silence and Gravity; Paralyze II stuck easily.
• Every 20% (79%,59%,39%,19%) Arimaspi pops 3-4 Lesser Arimaspi. They cast high tier BLM spells (saw Thunder V) but are not immune to melee damage. Melee cannot solo adds effectively. Even with Ninja sub.

• Seems not to pop additional adds if one or more are still alive.

• Weak to Ice and Light nukes. 80 RDM/40 WHM casting Banishga II dealt over 200 dmg; BLM80/RDM40 Blizzard IV dealt 900-1000dmg (4-5%~HP). Other spells were heavily resisted and did under 50 dmg. Tested with tier 1 spells to see which element it was weak to. All elemental tier 1s did 1-8 dmg except Blizzard, which did 44. SMN physical BPs were resisted, Nether Blast was 130~dmg, Holy Mist might be very useful since it is weak to light.
• Dybbuks and Ghosts are near pop spot, suggested to move slightly NE, take care of blood aggro.
• PLD/nin tank, BLMs, WHM (it casts break), RDM, and another party to handle the adds. Ranged DD recommended.
