I've been browsing various forums for a while and saw with the July 05 update, a handful of NMs were added with the unique property of *not* killing the placeholder: Taisaijin, Noble Mold, Snow Maiden, Father Frost, Colorful Leshy, Defoliate Leshy, Rose Garden, and Voluptuous Vilma (which seems to have a disputed existence [if someone checks .dats for Yuhtunga, we'd have the definitive answer]).
I've read the threads and seen pics of all of the above except for Defoliate Leshy. I'm wondering if anyone encountered it and has screenshots of it?
I had a thread going on Alla for a few days before it fizzled out on the rarest monster (excluding event NMs like Twinkling Treant, Gigantoad, Unlucky Beak, Wayward Worm, and those Genji Armor Fomors). I'm curious what people here think is the rarest monster. That thread came down to Goblin Wolfman (not of the don't-hurt-the-placeholder bunch, but still of unknown popping conditions) and Bloody Vrukwuk, a Ghelsba Outpost NM people haven't seen in a looooooooong time.
Oh yeah, and anyone know Ereshkigal's pop conditions (Xarcabard)? It was one of the few other ones that Somepage had blank.
