A = Aggressive; L = Links; S = Detects by Sight; H = Detects by Sound; HP = Detects Low HP; M = Detects Magic; R = Detects Resting; Sc = Follows by Scent; T(S) = True-sight; T(H) = True-sound

Notes:

  • Spawned by trading at Distilled Water to the ??? at J-10.
  • The ??? will only take another Distilled Water every 50 minutes real time.
  • When it has progressed from trading a Distilled Water, it will give the message The sprout is looking better. It can take many trades before the NM spawns (this generally seems to take at least 3 proper trades to spawn, sometimes many more.)
  • When a trade is done and the message A repulsive creature emerges from the ground! appears, the NM will spawn, automatically aggro to whoever spawned it.
  • Around 950HP


Historical Background

In Aboriginal Australian mythology, it is a small red man with a giant head and octopus-like tentacles with suckers for fingers. It was a vampire and would jump on top of people sitting beneath fig trees. I guess this is where the Sapling link comes in. After consuming its victims, it would regurgitate them up alive, albeit a little bit shorter. If Yara Ma Yha Who would attack the same person repeatedly, the person will continually be regurgitated each time, getting a little bit smaller and a little bit redder until they became a Yara Ma Yha Who themselves.
