Zdei
The aggro side of a Zdei
Zdei with nothing out
Zdei with bars out
Zdei with rings out
Often referred to as "pots" or "jars," Zdei appear to be a highly advanced form of the Magic Pots that are often found in many other ancient regions of Vana'diel. They are found only in The Garden of Ru'Hmet and the Grand Palace of Hu'Xzoi and act as guards to various areas within the Celestial Capital. When Zdei are unengaged, they are aggresive by true sight from the front side only. Their "eye" continuously rotates in 360 degrees on the lookout for wayward adventurers. When engaged, they switch between three states (bars out, rings out, and nothing out) about every 15-45 seconds, even if asleep. Each state utilizes a different defense mechanism.

Zdei drop only Luminion Chips, which are actually pieces of seemingly organic tissue and, as their name implies, are only obtainable from Luminions, i.e. Zdei and Ghrah. These chips can be traded to Meret for Virtue Stone Pouches.
