Notes

• Spawned by trading Peiste Pellets to the ??? at (G-10).
• Attacks extremely fast.
• Uses Perfect Dodge.
• Casts Bio II.
• Uses Aqua Fortis, an AoE attack that deals 200-500 damage as well as Poison and knockback to party members moving in or out of close proximity. Staying as close as possible at all times will avoid this.
• Casts Poison on itself to get a very high Regen effect. The poison does not deliver DoT to the NM, thus allowing it to be slept while poisoned.
• (see testimonials)

Historical Background

In Native American mythology, specifically that of the Shawnee, the Kinepikwa (also called the Msi-Kinepikwa) was a large snake which was slain and its body was cut into enough pieces to give each person in the tribe a piece, which was to serve as an amulet or talisman. Kinepikwa served as the source of many medicines and bundles. Msi-Kinepikwa means “great reptile” in Shawnee.
