I was in Gusgen Mines as a 33bst... before i reached the bomb room.. my LS static CoP asked for help on CoP 2-3.... so i left went to dunes and used vortex.... i was worried i might die here but i soon found a this (even match) bee ta take as my pet (ranged decent - Tough). It was a great pet, it does Pollen and i got like 280 HP back on the pet. I was fighting a Sheep near the Zone across the bridge and it nearly solo'd it. I really enjoyed its Double attack ^_^ fights seem to go faster then Altep and Gusgen. Best part... lotsa pets to claim, easy to get around, and you got the area mostly to yourself.
