Puks

Puks

Found only in the Near East, these diminutive dragons are similar in size (and flight) to the colibri, but are much more dangerous. With lightning quick attacks and the ability to cast magic, these small dragons can be not only a nuisance, but can be deadly. With an otherworldly association with wind, Puks are not only virtually immune to all wind based attacks, but they can actually heal themselves and generate TP based on, among other things, the day and/or weather. Adventurers be warned… this association can instantly change the course of battle when the weather or day changes in the midst of an otherwise routine battle.

Defeated Puks may leave behind their eggs and wings. While their eggs are a delicacy in the Near East, they have not been quite as popular with the chefs – and have been incorporated in only one dish. The wings too have a solitary use in the crafting of some elemental arrows. One final item, Chimera Blood, may be located on a defeated Puk – which has led some to believe that this dragon is hematophagous, and not carnivorous like its dragon relatives.

Absorbs Wind element: Wind-based spells, wind-based weaponskills, added-effect wind damage (such as from Enaero or Sirocco Kukri), and Detonation skillchain damage will heal rather than harm a Puk.
Auto-Regain: On Lightsday and Windsday, and during Light or Wind Weather, Puks have the ability to regenerate TP, much like the Eruca of Mount Zhayolm.
Elemental TP Bonus: If the element corresponding to the elemental day of the in-game Vana'diel week is used on a puk, it will get 100% TP instantly. (e.g. Using Fire II on Firesday.)
Note: Notorious Monsters in this family may use all of the above and/or additional unique special abilities.
