Notes:

• Lottery Spawn from the Sulfur Scorpions around (E-10).
• Has normal Scorpion TP moves, but her damage seems to greatly increase towards near-death HP (Often hitting for up to 500dmg normal hits.)
• Has a potent En-poison on its melee hits.
• Can mug 0 - 2000 gil.
• Killable by: 5 characters level 74.
• Soloable by BST 72+. (See BST Solo Tips.)
• Soloable by RDM/NIN or RDM/WHM, NIN/WHM, NIN/RDM (HP + MP drinks and Medicine advised) or NIN/DNC.
• Duoable by any NIN (or THF) and Mage combo.
• Death Scissors is her favorite TP move, using it almost 50% of the time. And Death Scissors is just that, has been known to do over 1.4k~1.7k To jobs with lower defense (Such as Mage jobs). As a Thief I was hit by this and took 1,293 damage. So make sure you blink tank it or hope your PLD has good VIT/DEF build.
• This NM is easier done with a small group of players, it loves spamming Death Scissors and the other AOE attacks, so is best to Spike damage her instead of melee DOT.
• Nyzul Isle: The Armoury Crate it leaves behind contains an ??? Axe, which may rarely appraise into a Lohar.

Historical Background

This name follows the standard naming format used for early NMs, an adjective followed by a personal name. Tyrannic is an adjective meaning having or exercising complete political power or control (and has the implication of the abuse of that power or wielding power heavy-handed, This could be linked to the fact she likes to spam Death Scissors that can do upward 1.5k~ Unprotected). Tunnok is a very obscure female name from Old English, specifically the 13th Century CE of unknown meaning.
