Xarc_s just west of OP near the cluster of Cointeaches. Not even gonna try fighting him.

[Rawanz]

Killed Rambukk in East.Ron. Dropped Bukktooth. Guessing something for crafting.

[Clave]

Killed doll NM in Fei Yin near entrance to Qu'Bia Arena. Alternated between Holy and Diaga II, wasn't too bad to duo with THF and WHM, but I would have probably died without support. Never used a single weapon skill.

Dropped an Ex item called Aptant of Secan. Description is as follows: A burnished metallic token bearing an ancient glyph for "attack."

Also just claimed another NM in Fei Yin called Sluagh, it's a ghost. It never used a single spell, but seemed to get TP faster than normal and spammed Grave Reel. Gave 110 exp to 3 people and seemed pretty tough. No drop on him.

[Eanae]

[Darkmagi]

Just killed kraken nm Atkorkamuy at Qufim island. got Aptant of Tachus. No idea what its for. pics inc

[chinis]

There are a lot of "NM"s on Zi'tah that take 0 damage and still hit you. If you try to fight them they just fade away.

Have to use the proper weapon. Skeleton Scuffler or whatever right? Only takes damage from blunt. Fighting them on DRK with a freaking Warp Cudgel. It's retarded. No drops at all.

[aatto.]

Killed Holey Horror in Zitah, seems immune to all dmg forms except piercing. No drop.

Edit: repoped in the time it took to post this >.>

The Sanctuary of Zi'tah F-8

Skeleton Scuffler, warps around after a period of time to full HP. tried all elements and spells, melee, WSs and only thing that hurt it was DOT (bio3) and pet dmg (we only tried jug pet-fly and crab).

no drops, no crystals

repop around 5 mins

[Castellano]

sanctuary of zitah

skeleton scuffler - skeleton that is immune to slashing dmg, i was on nin and unequipped katanas and was able to hit it with h2h
it disappeared after about 5 mins of me fighting it

holey horror - ghost, there were actually 2 up at the same time, couldnt do any melee dmg, slashing and h2h didnt work anyway dunno about piercing. had a rdm with me that could only see to do dmg with dia so maybe only light dmg works? these also disappeared after about 5 mins

*sorry couple people beat me to it

currently 3 holey horror up at same time

[Talint]

Duke Focalor, demon NM in Xarcabard up towards the Uleguerand path.

Looking for others. Yay widescan.

Likho, Ahriman NM in Castle Zvahl Baileys, northern hidden room, behind the iron bar gate.

[ninjafox]

Found Sluagh in Feiyin right next to Cassie, ghost NM. Hit me for 298 and I ran away again lol

That thing looks cool as fuck. That's some Diablo shit right there.

[Wulfgang]

The description is interesting, wonder if "quick" means haste / movement+ / other.

[Talus]

Do these new NMs ALL aggro? Flockbock did not appear aggressive towards a 75 THF running around it (I was on RNG67 at the time). I'm sure some are aggressive but that's kind of a pain in the ass if there's these aggressive, powerful NMs (powerful to a solo 75) in lowbie areas.

[Therin]

There's an NM in Ro'Maeve named Nargun, but it is behind the Moongate and I don't have the pass.

[Cairthenn]

Oupire is a HNM(?) in Alzaadal. It will depop if you die to it. Thorny will probably post a screenshot. :3

[Thorny]

Just tried to kill Oupire in undersea ruins, resisted hojo/kuriyami: ni, jubaku landed.
Had near 100% double attack, hit for 400-450 on NIN/DNC, casted Thunder IV. NM disappeared immediately after I died, didn't do the normal depop where the monster despawns first, then the name slightly after, so I assume it moved somewhere else in the zone. Saw it at (I-10) in the little room.

More details:

It's a Vampyr. Hits for roughly 160 with -50% PDT and seems to have 100% DA(though no h2h animation so may just be a high procrate or zanshin), casts aeroga3 for about 540 damage with -50% MDT and native MDB traits. Slow2 and paralyze stuck easily. Draws in instantly if you get more than 12' away, so kiting is rather worthless. I did 600 damage and it did not go below 99%, so it has either obscene hp or minor auto-regen. When I died, it gave the same message someone mentioned earlier: The monster fades before your eyes, a look of disappointment on its face.

Not soloable.
