Monstrosity: Acquiring Species

[Karbuncle]

If Bee/Fly don't fit the instinct whatever them I'm 99% Sure it'll be Ladybug.

If Bee/Fly don't fit the instinct whatever them I'm 99% Sure it'll be Ladybug.

I have 52 fly, 55 bee, 60 ladybug. It could be getting all 3 to 60, that's what I'm working towards.

[Karbuncle]

My Bee/Fly are 60 and Ladybug is like 15 or so I think... Haven't fiddled with monstrosity in a few days but plan on going back to it shortly... Like to figure out where Gnat is but got dejected when Party play nor Higher level zones for Big mobs were added in this Update..

[fantasticdan]

So far the only things that require multiple families at X level are purchased, and gnat isn't purchased. It's probably just ladybug at 90 or something.

[Upbeatglitch]

I didn't even think about that. I plan on taking ladybug to 99, but someone will probably get it there before I do.

[Ligray]

Already leveled ladybug to 90 only got instinct, thinking it might be bee or fly though.

[Qoh]

I refused to let the blue box defeat me and finally finished ram/buffalo/marid all to 60 and nothing came of it. wasnt sure if anyone else ever finished the trio, i assume any trying is still trying to chase that demon on a marid.... what a pain

[hakrev]

Just finished sheep to 90 got nothing but the instinct

[Cairthenn]

Here's the DAT list of species in order. I don't have the names because I don't understand dat encryption, but most are known anyway. POLUtils is picking up these files as "images" but if you change the header, it reads sort-of properly.

These are all known from instincts, but maybe the order will give a hint to unlocks:

Rabbit
Behemoth
Tiger
Sheep
Ram
Dhalmel
Coeurl
Opo-opo
Manticore
Buffalo
Marid
Cerberus
Gnole

Funguar
Sappling

Mandragora
Sabotender
Flytrap
Goobuue
Rafflesia
Panopt

Crawler
Fly
Scorpion
Spider
Antlion
Diremite
Chigoe
Wamouracampa
Ladybug
Gnat

Lizard

Wamoura(3)

Very interesting. I can confirm currently there's only wamouracampa and wamoura at 99, no other variations. This makes me even more excited to see what comes from the next update.

Did you try talking to the quest NPC while wearing the other skins? Whether or not you get a quest is skin dependent.

[Upbeatglitch]

I tried on both and only get the normal "Dost the thought of sinking thy claws..."/Engage in friendly banter.. No other options.

[Cairthenn]

When Radec (or somebody else) is able to figure this out, all the species variants have official names, too. For example, the rabbits are Rabbit, Onyx Rabbit, Alabaster Rabbit, and Lapinion.

For reference, there was the initial Wamouracampa, then one additional whitebox Wamouracampa, followed by two bluebox Wamouracampa, so one other Wamouracampa and then two Wamoura.

[Byrthnoth]

Upbeat, do you have access to all the TP moves on this page when you're on one of your two Wamouras?: https://www.bg-wiki.com/bg/Wamouracampa_%28MON%29

It's also possible there is some other requirement to trigger the quest being offered, like having capped Infamy or having >10000 Infamy, which we currently cannot.

[Cairthenn]

Cerberus is Orthrus, most likely.

Funguar is the coppercap version.

Morbol should be Pygmy, the pink variety, the Vivian model, and Purbol.

Sapling is mostly treants, so it's probably all of the leave versions.

Mandragora I'm pretty stumped.

Crawler is Eruca, Emerald Pygmy, and something else.

Antlion other model is Formiceros or something (the model that uses Gravitic is different).

Wamoura has the curled and uncurled variety, as well as the Tax'et version.

Gnat, no idea as well.

And yeah, it's purple peiste.

[Rocl]

There's a regular Emerald version of the Crawler I'm 60% sure in addition to the pygmy Emerald.
Gnat has the regular brownish black model and the newer NM green model from VW/Mastop.

Formiceros is the Horned Antlion and exists, as does purple peiste (Sibilus) and Ferromantoise (Tetsudo)

I talked to the NPC with 10k infamy. It could definitely be more than 10k.

Campa gets:
Amber Scutum
Vitriolic Spray
Thermal Pulse
Heat Barrier
Vitriolic Shower

Cannonball is missing from the list


Wamoura gets:
Magma Fan
Erratic Flutter
Proboscis
Erosion Dust
Exuviation
Fire Break

Benumbing Blaze is missing

So most likely curled up campa gets cannonball and pink wamoura gets benumbing blaze.

[fantasticdan]

Four of the five alternate treant skins should be: green, orange, pink, and leafless. Twinkling is another model, but they implied that would be a holiday skin, so I'm not sure that would be in the game yet? I don't think there's another skin thou, and there's no purchasable pygmy skin in the dats.

EDIT: Someone on ffxiah has 99 peiste and no sibilus. Seems likely we can't buy HNM type skins yet...

EDIT EDIT: The last mandragora skin could be seed.

[xMerlinx]

Got Behemoth yesterday. Already had 90 Tiger, 90 Coeurl, 76 Opo, 75 Gnole, Had to take Rabbit to 75 b4 it unlocked checking every level.

[Asymptotic]

Things don't have to necessarily be unique models/skins, mind you. See: Unusual Scorpion (it's just a different job).
