Notes:

• Spawned by trading Pectin to the ??? at J-8 in Mount Zhayolm (in the tunnel, at the drop-off point).
• Claret does not appear to perform any normal attacks, relying instead on TP moves only. TP Moves of note include:

• Fluid Toss: Ranged attack, 150-800 Damage, absorbed by Shadows, nearly always inflicted 100hp/hit Poison.
• Fluid Spread: AoE damage, absorbed by 1-3 shadows
• Digest: Single target HP Drain
• Mucus Spread: AoE Slow
• Epoxy Spread: AoE Bind

• In addition, Claret "attacks" by sitting on top of the player who has hate. While on them, it inflicts a poison effect with 100hp/tick Damage. The Poison generally lasts 3-5 ticks, unless Claret remains on top of your character.

• Claret does not drain HP while sitting on players, but it does have a high Regen rate (about 1% every 30 seconds).
• This poison effect overrides the effect of Poison Potions.

• Moves with enhanced movement speed.
• Susceptible to Gravity.
• Cannot be slept.
• (see testimonials)

Historical Background

Claret is the English word for a red wine from Bordeaux. In Medieval English, claret was a spicy drink made from combining red wine with a mixture of spices (anise, fennel, cinnamon, cardamom, and caraway, among others). More recently, claret is used as slang for "blood" in certain areas of the UK.
