Notes:

  • Located amongst the Thalassinon at (F-5).
  • The Thalassinon do not aggro nor link with this NM.
  • Appears to be completely immune to stun (physical and magical stuns).
  • Will immediately go into its shell when aggroed and open with a spell.
    • While inside its shell, it is highly resistant to all damage; except when it's casting a spell.
    • When out of its shell, it takes normal damage (whether from mighty strikes, or doing a TP attack).
  • Casts Flood II, Quake II, Stonega IV, Waterga IV. Casting range is the same as BLM casting range if not bigger. IV -ga's still connected @ 30yalms. Appeeared to be 40yalms to outrun IV's
  • Uses Mighty Strikes multiple times and a unique version of Turtle Stomp called Tortoise Stomp while outside of its shell.
    • Tortoise Stomp is a Conic AoE (unknown range) centered around the target. Tortoise stomp frequently removes 2 shadows, occasionally 1, and sometimes 3.
    • Has extremely potent Fast Cast, Stonega IV only took 5-6 seconds to cast
    • Upon coming out of its shell, it will run to whoever has hate and will be able to be moved to a safer area.
    • Appears to only come out of its shell immediately after using Mighty Strikes and re-enters the shell as soon as the effect wears off.
    • Will come out of the shell when it's target is near melee distance to perform Tortoise Stomp when it has tp. Seems to have very potent TP Regain.
    • Takes normal damage from Quick Draw, whether inside or outside of shell.
    • Exited shell randomly most times, and at an accelerating rate as HP diminished.
    • Will not move while head is in shell.
    • Has a slight Regen when in the shell. Does not regen when out of its shell, Bio III witnessed to remove 1% HP while out of the shell, and it gained 1% while in the shell, albeit rarely.
    • Can activate its '!!' weakness with a Sidewinder during 2HR.
  • Gave 760 Experience Points and 144 Cruor to an alliance of 12.
    Gave 1050 Experience Points and 254 Cruor to an alliance of 8. 1300 exp/272 cruor to party of 5, Awarded 1500 Experience Points and 296 Cruor solo.
