Notes:

• Nihniknoovi has an extremely fast attack rate.
• Chance of spawning from one of the FallenEgg that load at various spots in the zone. The FallenEgg have been seen at I-6, J-6, L-7, L-10, L-11. If one is selected and it does not spawn the NM, it can give just a message, or a Bird Egg. Either way, the FallenEgg will disappear and respawn elsewhere in around 5 minutes.
• Killable by: Solo at level 25, duo as level 15 PLD w/ NPC; Boiled Crayfish & Protect averaged out at around 6 dmg per hit on

PLD (Fast attack rate made self cure pretty difficult, yet ended up with 5/85 MP remaining, no invincible used ^^

Historical Background

In Native American mythology (specifically the Kawaiisu of Southern California), Nihniknoovi (sometimes called Nihnoovi) is a fierce hawk which snatched people off the land and carried them off to the mountains, where it devoured them. It is commonly known as the “man-carrying bird”. It is unclear what it means, but niwinookaridi means “person-carrying” in the Kawaiisu language.
