Notes:

• Timed Spawn on the island at (F-8).
• Respawn Time is every 21-24 hours (Earth time).
• Uses all Hippogryph special attacks.
• Uses "Hoof Volley" (critical single-target damage attack that resets hate) after all of its special attacks.

• A tank capable of using Blink or Utsusemi is recommended, as direct physical damage from "Hoof Volley" is likely to be too high. ("Fantod" + "Hoof Volley" is recorded to deal over 2100 direct damage!)

• Uses the Bard two-hour ability Soul Voice. Is capable of using it multiple times during the fight.
• Known to use the following Bard Songs:

• Army's Paeon IV (Possibly V?)
• Advancing March(?)
• Various forms of Etude (unknown types; as this is a 50-capped area, it's assumed he knows all Etudes up to at least Sinewy Etude)

• At least one Bard and/or Red Mage is recommended for use of Magic Finale or Dispel, in order to remove "Fantod" or any songs it places upon itself. Be aware that these dispellers may end up recieving serious Enmity from Boroka by the time the battle is over.
• Is very highly resistant to Bind and Shadowbind.
• Is susceptible to Sleep and Lullaby.
• Can be Aspired.
• Can be Stunned.

Historical Background

In Filipino mythology (specifically the Iloko), the boroka is a cannibalistic witch who appears as a creature with the head of a woman, the body and legs of a horse, and the wings of an eagle. She was fond of devouring children.
