they use this move called granite skin and it doesnt give a description of what it does but i noticed that when we first pulled one i could attack it face to face and do normal damage, but once it used granite skin it would 'guard' attacks like a MNK mob so i ran to the side of it and it went back to normal damage. so ye
boiling blood = haste and berserk
granite skin = guard?
clobber = spike flail esque move
battle horn = frontal damage(used this when i tanked face to face, wiped 2 shadows)
demoralizing roar = attack down
def. chain busters, but they dont agro so just avoid em and murder the birds.
