Notes:

  • Can change to standing mode, does not appear to be linked to moon phase. Standing Lobisons seem to have higher attack, lower accuracy, higher defense, and guard more and apparently resistant to sleep. Repose is effective.
  • Lobison seem to stand when presented with an extremely large hate spike. Provoke is effective for many players, but when that failed, spamming high-damage Blue Mage spells such as Disseverment, Hysteric Barrage, Frenetic Rip and Actinic Burst were effective in convincing them to stand 100% of the time.
  • Using Exuviation whilst under the effect of Diffusion (making the spell AoE) creates a large enough amount of enmity to make Lobison stand.
  • The Lobison present in Jugner Forest [S] and La Vaule [S] will only detect by sound when standing.

Historical Background

In Argentinian mythology, the Lobisón (or Luisón) was a werewolf-like creature, a black or gray wolf the size of a small horse. According to legend, the 7th consecutive son in a family will become a lobison. They hunt at night under a full moon, preferring to prey on cattle rather than people. The 7th consecutive daughter born to a family will become a witch. This superstition was held into the 20th century, resulting in the seventh-born children being abandoned. The Argentine government passed a law forbidding this practice in the 1920s.
