Birdtrap spawns around (I-9 and I-10).

Notes (Carpenters' Landing)

• Lottery Spawn from a Birdtrap at (I-9)/(I-10) of the first map. This part of the map can be accessed from the east entrance in Jugner Forest.
  • Minimum re-spawn time is 1 hour, however average re-spawn time is 1.5 to 3 hours. As a Lottery Spawn, has taken as long as 7 hours to respawn.
  • The placeholder is located near the bottom of the Wide Scan list, between a Sabertooth Tiger and a Diving Beetle followed by more Birdtraps. If lightning weather is prevalent in the area, a Thunder Elemental may also be present between the Sabertooth Tiger and the Diving Beetle.
    • The Diving Beetle may not always appear. If you do not see the above setup, look for pugils at the bottom of the list. The placeholder is the first of 3 Birdtraps above this, underneath the tiger.
  • Placeholder re-spawn time is 5 minutes.
• Has fast attack speed.
• Defeating Orctrap is required for the Hand-to-Hand Trial 70 for the weapon Simian Fists.
• Can be defeated solo by Beastmaster at around level 40, Puppetmaster at level 44, Dragoon at level 45, and most jobs at level 50. (see testimonials)

Notes (Nyzul Isle)

• The Armoury Crate it leaves behind contains a ??? Dagger, which may rarely appraise into a Nikkariaoe.

Historical Background

Many Flytrap monsters have the suffix -trap, with the prefix being some creature. Orctrap would imply that this plant catches Orcs in it. That would be quite a considerable feat, a plant preying on one of the beastman races, especially since Orcs are larger than the Orctrap and would thus be difficult to devour. However, this name is likely not literal and may merely be an exaggeration or instance of creative naming.

Another possibility is that the Orcs, who are known to tame some of the wild creatures that inhabit Vana'diel, have tamed the Orctrap and it is a pet used to catch prey for the Orcs, but that would break the typical pattern of flytrap names.
