Spawned on the platform at (E-5)/(F-5) in Ru'Aun Gardens. This area of the gardens cannot be accessed normally like the platforms for Seiryu, Genbu, and Suzaku, but must require going through the Shrine of Ru'Avitau from the entrance beneath the stairs at the teleport pads that lead to the Genbu platform.
Byakko's ??? Location
Spawned by trading a Gem of the West and an Autumnstone to the ???. This ??? will re-appear 15 minutes after Byakko is defeated or de-spawned.
When spawned, Byakko's melee attacks have an additional Light Damage effect to them. This effect cannot be dispelled by magic, but can be removed by hitting Byakko with the East Wind ranged weapon.
Summoned as a pet by Kirin along with Seiryu, Genbu, and Suzaku. Kirin will not summon these in any specific order.
Significantly lower HP than the Byakko spawned in Ru'Aun Gardens.
Shares the entire ability set with the Byakko spawned in Ru'Aun Gardens.
Does not drop anything.
Historical Information
Bai Hu (Byakko in Japanese) is one of the four symbols of the Chinese Constellations, representing the "White Tiger of the West" and of the season of Autumn. The other three symbols being the "Azure Dragon of the East" (see Seiryu), the "Black Tortoise of the North" (see Genbu), and the "Vermillion Bird of the South" (see Suzaku)
Each symbol corresponded to an element in the Five Element system, with Bai Hu corresponding to the element of metal. (In the Five Element system in China, there is a 5th legendary beast known as Huang Long, the Yellow Dragon of the Center. While there is no direct equivalent in Japanese, Huang Long is believed to be linked to the dragon Ouryu (see Ouryu)
I across the pop items for a pretty good price, any chance anyone on Bahamut would be willing to help with the kill? i don't have much gil, and I'm only after the haidate. If anything else drops I'd be willing to pass on all drops, and donate 1m to the ls willing to help out! /tell keiichi on bahamut!

Fought Byakko 4 times a few days ago- and to the most shockin news of my life 4/4 Haidate dropped. It was amazing!!! I was extremely excited about it and I finally have my Haidate!!! I <3 Byakko
Grammar please, as you were referring, Byakko isn't hard and none of the gods are? They are hard, your LS or whoever you're with is probably really prepared, sometimes the gods can act up and do things differently, every fight is different, it's just about how well prepared you are and how good of players you are with.
byakko isnt the hard none of the gods are except Kirin who was burned by bbq on odin in 10 mins so even he can he pulled apart all gods go down very easily Byakko uses perfect dodge u blow him up with blms suzzy chainspell u shadowbind or chainspell stun RDM/DRK or even blm ele seal bind bam! sieryu shadowbind or even have 2 pld 2 hour through it genbu... well he is just a "lol" god and i dont even need 2 go into him so there lol anyways id say byakko strongest close with suzzy tho cos chainspell can be painful but byakko is a peice of piss 2 be fair thats my call =)

ppl who buy gil are worse than ppl who sell it, i have but 1 angel and she knows who she is
Uh, hate to upset ya' but its a Hagun. Look at the end of the hilt... It's abit long. And the blade itself is pretty thick. Dont believe me? /check yourself.
His blade is straight. I can't think of any other high lvl GKatana with a straight blade besides the Relic. Then again the picture taker could have swapped the dat files
Its definitely a Hagun. It appears to be straight, but thats because you're looking straight on to the blade face of the katana, not the side. The handle is far too big and entire katana far too long to be the relic. Also, a samurai with relic wouldn't be wearing fuma for feet >.<
My parse tonight showed 22,906 dmg total dealt to byakko. Factoring in DoT's that don't show up on parse, it would make sense that his HP is about 25k.
Forgot about the 2nd Haidate that went to a Monk. We've actually seen 5 Haidate dropped in 6 kills (And 2 alliance wipes due to not having enough tanks and healers).
My LS has now received 4 Haidate in 5 successful pops. He's also dropped duplicate abjurations twice. Whatever the case, we're giving them out to even RNGs, so I've got mine waiting for when I gain another 23 levels on NIN. I guess SE is making up to us for the dozen straight Roc kills that netted us a total of about 2 million gil.
This @#%^ cat got pwned by us last night. tried twice 1st attempt ever we wiped (1st is always test/practice), 2nd attempt he got smashed up bigtime & quickly.......No deaths & got some okay drops.

Byakko can easily be done with 2 NIN tanks. My LS on Ifrit did a flawless fight with no deaths today. 2 NIN 2 THF 2 BRD 3 BLM 4 RNG, 3 WHM, 3 RDM and some others that escape me.. I think we had 20 total. Pop Byakko, 72 NIN voke/Spirits, THFs SATA on nin behind, He vokes/warcry/Spirits 2 Bards for NINs for March/Mambo + Haste our main NIN was wearing Kabuto, Jelly Ring, Byakko pants, Earth Staff and that NIN armor.. erm. -6% DMg taken? Arhats? whatever. Thfs go back and forth keeping hate on him every 30 secs (Thf/SAM) and Rngs just go nuts. Blm stun when needed, and whms keep main tank Targetted for Para/Massive heal.. easily done. Byakko is only hard if BLMs/Rngs steal hate and tanks can't recover.. If he's running around he's deadly. If he's on 1 tank, it's an easy fight.
Got some nice drops off this bad boy the other day: -Byakko's Haidate -Byakko's Axe -Neptunal Abjuration: Hands -Divine Log We had some deaths, but it died and thats whats important. XD
Meh, I don't get all this "must have Aerial Armor" stuff for PLDs. I main tanked it a couple days ago without a single SMN or /SMN in the alliance. >_> The only times I got below 50% health was when he hit me with Banish IV (once, 982 damage, ouch), the occassional Fang, and once when I got unlucky and Triple Attacked processed like three times in a row (had about 380 HP when that was done).
He was hitting me for 100-120 each hit. Staff tanked, +50 VIT, permanent Defender, Tavnazian Taco, you know. Average stuff. I did have a BRD for Minne, and we had three WHMs in the alliance.
Byakko is easily the hardest of the 4 Gods... no argument about that. My LS can beat him up pretty easy now but when we first started, he'd just tear through Plds too quick.
----------------------------
75Ranger/75Ninja/75Samurai/75White Mage/67Bard Bastok Rank 10 Zilart: Complete CoP: Complete Leviathan Server My karma rating: Proof that you should never underestimate stupid people in masses.
He's pretty easy. Our regular strategy is 1 tank party of RDM WHM WHM BRD PLD PLD. WHM/SMN do aerial armor every 30 seconds. Next party consists of rangers. 6 rangers if possible. The next party would be the stunning party. BLM + DRK. Stun him every 8-10 seconds, taking turns. People outside alliance backup heal. If you keep aerial armor up on PLD, you will win. If you have crappy white mages, <see you again!>. Rng tear him up, the more rng, the faster you will kill him. I think we've killed him in less than 3 minutes before. Hope this helps :D
this setup is what my LS uses on him. Areial armour and 2 pld. We have a stunner party and a rng party sense we load on both blm and rangers. If u have a good stun order and kepp areail armour up on tanks this fight is very easy. If you dont everyone is going to die. He hit hard and fast. I know that from first hand experiance i.e. I have tanked this. the key is Stunners, areial armour and keeping the tanks HP Full. If you do that u will win. Good Luck
This thing attacks like mad (double-triple attacks and steel cyclone lotsa damage..something fang did 500~1k damage to PLD) SE made em harder after patch......*sigh*
Anyone noticed byakko behaiving differently since the update? ( ie. double and triple attacking like mad, hitting 20-30points harder per hit? spamming banishgaIII more often and generally being a retarded @#%^?)
Seems like they changed him in the march update... Might have just been an unlucky day though.
Byakko is a greedy bastard. Killed him 3 times today and he dropped every abjuration accept E.ABJ.FEET, the one I happen to need. Not to mention he dropped aquarian legs and head twice, greedy bastard. Haidate also once, and 3 hides to go towards dynamis. Of course I get sh*tted on again.
He indeed is not that hard my ls beats him in somewhere between 6-10 minutes. Sata back and forth to ninja and paladin, keep paralyna up, and get a good stun order going and you'll be fine.

serket was soloable b4, when AOE didnt remove shadows, now serket is unsoloable..
Somone needs to tell that to the RDM/NIN with an Enhancing Sword and Joyeuse that I saw solo him a couple days ago.
He was throwing up utsusemi way, way more often than seemed normal (I was actually going to call a GM, I was convinced he was using some sort of hack). I asked him about it later and he said that it was because he was wearing the AF hat and relic body to double up on fast cast improvements and self hasting. According to him the recast time on Utsusemi (and every other spell) is cut nearly in half this way and a 75 RDM/NIN is able to throw out utsusemu every 8 seconds or so.
Edited, Sat Dec 25 07:20:03 2004
----------------------------
Typical reaction to sighting a leopard seal for the first time:
"Daww isn't he cu-HOLY @#%^ING sh*t LOOK AT THOSE TEETH!
Fast Cast does not reduce recast timers, it only decreases casttime on spells, and even then it's random as to how well it reduces the casttime. The only way to reduce recast time on a spell is to be Hasted prior to using it. This is how RDM/NIN can throw up Utsusemi faster than most. Also if you have "Haste"+#% items they reduce recast time as well. Otherwise Fast Cast has nothing to do with it.
Umm... Fast Cast does, in fact, decrease recasting time. Take a spell like Blaze Spikes and cast it with BLM and RDM. There's a BIG difference between the casting and recasting time between a BLM and RDM.
Also, Fast Cast is NOT random. Its a FIXED percent reduction in casting/re-casting time. I believe Fast Cast IV is something like 20% spell casting reduction. (5% for each level + Chapeau.)
So…
Each level of Fast Cast = 5% (75RDM/NIN will have 25% reduction with chapeau and relic body.) Haste recast reduction = 12% Casting time of Utsusemi:Ichi = 3 seconds Recasting time of Utsusemi:Ichi = 30 seconds Casting time of Utsusemi:Ni = 1.5 seconds Recasting time of Utsusemi:Ni = 45 seconds
Time to cast Ichi: (3 * 0.75) = 2.25 seconds Time to recast Ichi: (30 * 0.63) = 18.9 seconds Total time to cast/recast = 21.15 seconds
Time to cast Ni: (1.5 * 0.75) = 1.125 seconds Time to recast Ni: (45 * 0.63) = 28.35 seconds Total time to cast/recast = 29.475 seconds
If you’re casting those back to back, I’d say a RDM/NIN could average around the 8-10 seconds of recasting utsusemi.
Byakko is now striped like a raptor Suzaku is now super cool (pheonix coloured) Seiryu is blueish whiteish Genbu sorta looks the same Kirin is now a mix of orange and red >.< i wish i had pics
Its two-hour ability is Perfect Dodge, and it seems to use when it is low on life.
As said below, all the abilities a normal tiger mob would have, along with Perfect Dodge, Double Attack, and Triple Attack. However, gods seem to use two hours at random, not necessarily when low on life unless it hasnt already done so earlier.
I've heard this done two ways on my server:
Throw an army of about 4 ninjas on him, each at a different angle I assume. Have them count the blinks of the previous ninja in line, take turns, provoke as the last blink of the ninja before you absorbs attack. Continue in cycle as smoothly as possible to minimize damage recieved.
Throw two paladins on it, taking oposite sides, and include two or three summoners into the party. Same strategy as above, but with summoners or whm/summoners rotating blink-ga.
We did this with paladins yesterday, but at 50% life began taking deaths one after the other. Kicked PLDs from PT as died and subbed in replacement, with myself being last in line as ninja. When my turn came to be subbed in, our last PLD hit the dirt right as I engaged. I lasted about two minutes, but tanking it alone was impossible; we were defeated.
I've yet to fight Seiryu, but from what I hear this is the hardest god to defeat by far due to his fast attacks and high damage. As a NIN74 I was hit for 315~375 damage a swing, with an added elemental effect of 40~50. I dont know how much a critical would have caused, b/c he never landed one before I died.
If its your first time trying Byakko, bring ninjas, bring paladins, bring summoners... lots of tanks, you'll need them if anyone dies. Just have them sit outside of alliance and kick/add as deaths occur, and let a WHM outside alliance RaiseIII for them so that they can get back in line.
If you have other strategies for beating him, please tell, I want to try him again.^^;
EDIT: We saved stun for his magic, and used flash spells in marathon to try and lower the number of hits recieved.
serket was soloable b4, when AOE didnt remove shadows, now serket is unsoloable...
Actually as a NIN74 I fought him the past two days with a team of three. The only AOE that destroys copy image that he has used on me so far is Bind-ga, and -ga magic was like that long before the patch changed Utsusemi. Earthpounder is still blinkable, but now occasionally removes two blinks instead of one. Venom Storm has no effect on Utsusemi, nor is it blocked, but does zero damage aside from inflicting poison. Serket is definately still soloable with proper preparation. If you keep him blinded, he misses ninjas with high evasion much more than he actually lands hits.
Uses Light-based magic. Spells include Diaga III, Banishga III, Banish IV, and Holy. Has the weakest magic of the four godbeasts, but high physical attack power. Hits fast and triple attacks fairly often. Uses the following TP attacks:
Razor Fang (single-target massive damage, blinkable) Claw Cyclone (straight-line damage from front of beast) Roar (Paralyzga)
Its two-hour ability is Perfect Dodge, and it seems to use when it is low on life.
well i was watching this anime movie call Mysterious Play which my sister really likes to watch and Suzaku(Phoenix) is south Seiryu is east (dragon) i dont remember but i think Genbu is the west (turtle) and Byakko(tiger) is the north and this is base on Japanese Gods as well i think.... cuz i saw these names wen i played Onimusha lol these 4 sky gods came from Japan i think
No, they're from Japan. The idea of four animals in a south/west/east/north pattern is quite common further their names are written using a Japanese pattern.
I was going to write their names out in hiragana for you but the system won't let me use it or kanji.
Well, the ancient Chinese always associated the four gods with each of the four seasons; each god with their own traits and significance to life on earth. These four gods were particularly held in higher esteem than most other gods. Also, they were different in the sense that they were beast gods, as opposed to human deities.
In Chinese astrology, these four mythical animals are in fact rulers of 'kingdoms' in the skies. The sky is divided into four specific regions, and each of these four gods is set on a cardinal point, on each of the four directions - north, south, east and west. Each of the four regions has their own set of seven constellations. Which is why there are 28 constellations observed in ancient Chinese astrology.
The Turtle
Colour: Black Cardinal Point/Direction: North Season: Winter Planet: Mercury Element: Water Chinese Name: Xuan Wu Japanese Name: Genbu
The Phoenix
Colour: Red Cardinal Point/Direction: South Season: Summer Planet: Mars Element: Fire Chinese Name: Feng-huang Japanese Name: Suzaku
The Dragon
Colour: Green Cardinal Point/Direction: East Season: Spring Planet: Jupiter Element: Wood Chinese Name: Long-wang Japanese Name: Seiryuu
The Tiger
Colour: White Cardinal Point/Direction: West Season: Autumn Planet: Venus Element: Metal Chinese Name: Bai Hu Japanese Name: Byakko

This NM is hella hard... you know why? Cause getting there with an alliance, people will screw up and die along the way, and cause others to die and everyone will die in shrine just to get to this island. The NM itself isn't that hard, but again, you need the right PT setup. I pretty much agree with RitanX on this one. Hardest fight in the game so far for me would be the AA BCNM (alliance version). That's one hell of a fight. I think I died 3 times during the fight and ate 3 raise 1s ><;;

1. This NM is hella hard, if this is your first time fighting it EVER... Otherwise he is more than manageable. If you are going with an experienced LS, and you are new to gods, don't panic too much. No one person can easily screw this fight up, and a well balanced alliance can take him down in 5 minutes CONSISTENTLY with zero deaths. RNG, if you are below 73, expect to miss OFTEN, at 71 I was literally only around 50% accurate even with full R. Acc gear, Squid sushi, and the Bard stacking double prelude on me >.> I actually had better accuracy on Kirin than I did Byakko at 71 :P
As far as people dying just getting to the island, if your alliance of 70+ players can't keep sneak on through the shrine , maybe they bought their account >.> (Sure even the best of us make mistakes, but it shouldn't be common)
For the most part as a RNG you will find yourself off to the side shooting, stepping up a bit for Slugshot/Sidewinder. One peice of advice that seems obvious but I often forget... BE SURE to have fresh shadows up, and maybe even have your recast timer ready before using a weaponskill. If Byakko gets one of his WS in on you with shadows down, it will be instant death. (last time we fought him he hit me with Razor Fang (I think..?) for about 1200 damage right after ripping through my shadows)

Wow I really really suprised at this battle. Most of the people with us said Byakko was the hardest god(except Kirin) and ALWAYS caused tons of trouble. But he really wasnt to hard at all. Note his doe hit VERY HARD and VERY FAST, he cast Banishaga III and Banish IV, and does the normal Tiger AoE attack(Claw Cyclone). Really your best bet is TP up your melees pre battle w/Spirits within or any other wepon skills, just make sure all melees and tanks are at 300% TP. Have all darks stun banishaga and make sure your tank part has multiple ppl subbing smn( for aerial armor) we took him with 18 people and only 2 deaths( lol me and the main tank). Really wasnt as hard as I expected, just watch out claw cyclone and his other stupied tiger attacks,(I got killed by one of them). It took us about 20 or so minutes to kill him. Note: You CANNOT kite Byakko^^
Of all the HNM's in Sky, this is probaly the toughest one. His double and triple attack eats through Utsemumi and paladins get hit hard. You can't "kite" it like Genbu cuz Byakko is quick. Honestly to beat this HNM you need 2 good ninja's with no lag and a backup pld with mages healing pld at all times.

Solo'd HNM's? Yeah I saw that. A SMN taking on Aquarius with -just- Carbuncle. At the rate he was going, would've taken him a few hours of running around in a circle with Carby doing 5-10 pts a hit. Fun to watch.

High because it's level is above the current level cap of 75. There were HMN's when the level cap was 50 that get slapped around daily now by any and everyone. These would be mobs much lower than Serket or Aquarius (both very solo-able...)
ok, SE didn't implement the abbreviation HNM, players did. So make of it what you will, it was originally "Hard" Notorious Monster, as seen on the japanese sites. Many american sites have defined it as High, Hyper, and a few others that sound even more rediculous. Stick with what you know, but in the end it all means the same, a rediculously hard NM. now shush about what the H stands for.
can it get any smaller~ all HNM's can draw you in. easy way to tell. as for what the H means it dont really matter does it? its a hard ass NM basicaly.
This subject came up in my LS today. One guy said it stands for "horny" but was just kidding. It seems most people on alexander call it hyper notorious monster, but i think it probably is hard NM instead. There are some dummies on alexander. (i'm not saying any names so please don't flame)
It's an interesting thought, that all HNMs can draw you in. I've heard of a HNM cockatrice in meriphataud that can do it, and know that the ram HNM in la theine can as well.
Side note: When i loaded this page, the posts didn't squish down to size like normal. I think it has to do with this topic going out so far. I tried to resist the urge to continue this silliness, but dammit.... conformity strikes again XD
i wanna see how far this pushes out >.> anyways, i've heard high, hard, honorific (meaning it gives you a title), hyper,huge, etc. i just dont care anymore what the H stands for, they're just fun. so i'm going to say HNM stands for "Hella-fun" Notorious Monster
Did I mention I want the Dryadic Abjurations and the Haidate of this kitten so my Samurai can pwn someday? Ok, just thought I'd add that for posterity.
isnt there a set of armor related to the 4 saint beast thingys? i saw a 75 bard in jeuno yesterday wearing pieces of gear as follows: Kirins Osode,Byakkos Haidate,cant remember the others,but you know....etc.
esterday i was just running around in bastok on Fenrir server and i see a tiny taru like me with really dark armor, so i check him . . .

Byakko is very very strong to Light and very weak to Dark. Slightly weak to Fire. Very strong to Ice.
Somone needs to tell that to the RDM/NIN with an Enhancing Sword and Joyeuse that I saw solo him a couple days ago.
He was throwing up utsusemi way, way more often than seemed normal (I was actually going to call a GM, I was convinced he was using some sort of hack). I asked him about it later and he said that it was because he was wearing the AF hat and relic body to double up on fast cast improvements and self hasting. According to him the recast time on Utsusemi (and every other spell) is cut nearly in half this way and a 75 RDM/NIN is able to throw out utsusemu every 8 seconds or so.

If you think I'm full of it, read this thread: http://www.ffxionline.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=40109&highlight=fast+cast
Includes research from the greatest RDM across all worlds, Grendal (Apple Pie).
Also, Fast Cast is NOT random. Its a FIXED percent reduction in casting/re-casting time. I believe Fast Cast IV is something like 20% spell casting reduction. (5% for each level + Chapeau.)
So…
Each level of Fast Cast = 5% (75RDM/NIN will have 25% reduction with chapeau and relic body.)
Haste recast reduction = 12%
Casting time of Utsusemi:Ichi = 3 seconds
Recasting time of Utsusemi:Ichi = 30 seconds
Casting time of Utsusemi:Ni = 1.5 seconds
Recasting time of Utsusemi:Ni = 45 seconds
Time to cast Ichi: (3 * 0.75) = 2.25 seconds
Time to recast Ichi: (30 * 0.63) = 18.9 seconds
Total time to cast/recast = 21.15 seconds
Time to cast Ni: (1.5 * 0.75) = 1.125 seconds
Time to recast Ni: (45 * 0.63) = 28.35 seconds
Total time to cast/recast = 29.475 seconds
If you’re casting those back to back, I’d say a RDM/NIN could average around the 8-10 seconds of recasting utsusemi.
Fun! ^^

As said below, all the abilities a normal tiger mob would have, along with Perfect Dodge, Double Attack, and Triple Attack. However, gods seem to use two hours at random, not necessarily when low on life unless it hasnt already done so earlier.
I've heard this done two ways on my server:
Throw an army of about 4 ninjas on him, each at a different angle I assume. Have them count the blinks of the previous ninja in line, take turns, provoke as the last blink of the ninja before you absorbs attack. Continue in cycle as smoothly as possible to minimize damage recieved.
Throw two paladins on it, taking oposite sides, and include two or three summoners into the party. Same strategy as above, but with summoners or whm/summoners rotating blink-ga.
We did this with paladins yesterday, but at 50% life began taking deaths one after the other. Kicked PLDs from PT as died and subbed in replacement, with myself being last in line as ninja. When my turn came to be subbed in, our last PLD hit the dirt right as I engaged. I lasted about two minutes, but tanking it alone was impossible; we were defeated.
I've yet to fight Seiryu, but from what I hear this is the hardest god to defeat by far due to his fast attacks and high damage. As a NIN74 I was hit for 315~375 damage a swing, with an added elemental effect of 40~50. I dont know how much a critical would have caused, b/c he never landed one before I died.
If its your first time trying Byakko, bring ninjas, bring paladins, bring summoners... lots of tanks, you'll need them if anyone dies. Just have them sit outside of alliance and kick/add as deaths occur, and let a WHM outside alliance RaiseIII for them so that they can get back in line.
If you have other strategies for beating him, please tell, I want to try him again.^^;
EDIT: We saved stun for his magic, and used flash spells in marathon to try and lower the number of hits recieved.

In Chinese astrology, these four mythical animals are in fact rulers of 'kingdoms' in the skies. The sky is divided into four specific regions, and each of these four gods is set on a cardinal point, on each of the four directions - north, south, east and west. Each of the four regions has their own set of seven constellations. Which is why there are 28 constellations observed in ancient Chinese astrology.

1. This NM is hella hard, if this is your first time fighting it EVER... Otherwise he is more than manageable. If you are going with an experienced LS, and you are new to gods, don't panic too much. No one person can easily screw this fight up, and a well balanced alliance can take him down in 5 minutes CONSISTENTLY with zero deaths. RNG, if you are below 73, expect to miss OFTEN, at 71 I was literally only around 50% accurate even with full R. Acc gear, Squid sushi, and the Bard stacking double prelude on me >.>
I actually had better accuracy on Kirin than I did Byakko at 71 :P
As far as people dying just getting to the island, if your alliance of 70+ players can't keep sneak on through the shrine , maybe they bought their account >.> (Sure even the best of us make mistakes, but it shouldn't be common)
For the most part as a RNG you will find yourself off to the side shooting, stepping up a bit for Slugshot/Sidewinder. One peice of advice that seems obvious but I often forget... BE SURE to have fresh shadows up, and maybe even have your recast timer ready before using a weaponskill. If Byakko gets one of his WS in on you with shadows down, it will be instant death. (last time we fought him he hit me with Razor Fang (I think..?) for about 1200 damage right after ripping through my shadows)

High because it's level is above the current level cap of 75. There were HMN's when the level cap was 50 that get slapped around daily now by any and everyone. These would be mobs much lower than Serket or Aquarius (both very solo-able...)

It's an interesting thought, that all HNMs can draw you in. I've heard of a HNM cockatrice in meriphataud that can do it, and know that the ram HNM in la theine can as well.
Side note: When i loaded this page, the posts didn't squish down to size like normal. I think it has to do with this topic going out so far. I tried to resist the urge to continue this silliness, but dammit.... conformity strikes again XD
