Vana'diel Bestiary: Akselloak  

Yup, that's what they are. They're a tad more vicious than your normal Bomb though. Here's some info I posted on these mobs in the BST forum some time ago:

Snolls

-Aggro Sight/Magic.
-As or more dangerous as the normal Bomb.
-Self-Destruct causes a LOT of damage.

Weapon Skills:

1. Hydrothermal Combustion - Self-Destruct.
2. Freeze - DoT that will take around 700 HP from you over time.
3. Cold Wave - A big damage attack that I THINK is Ice damage. Not too sure if it's ice damage or not.
4. Berserk - higher attack rating, lower defense rating

NOTE: Self-Destruct is related to how much HP the Snoll has left. Don't be afraid to release your pet when the Snoll has but 1 or 2 hits left in it so you can get the full exp.

I think there might be a couple more abilities they use that I didn't mention. It's been a while since I've been to The Range. Also, I might have some of the abilities names reveresed up a bit (e.g., Cold Wave and Freeze might be reversed), but the effects of the abilities are all correct. I spent quite a bit of time exping on these when I was Lv58-61 I think.

Another thing to note is that there are 3 different versions of Snolls that I've seen so far. I cannot remember the names of them, but Snolls are just the lower level Ice Bombs and the other names are simply higher level Ice Bombs... which leads me to the reason why I am posting here:

The third tier Ice Bomb is called Akselloak. They're either Akselloak or something VERY close to the same spelling. I forgot the actual name, but the next time I am there I will double check and revise my post here. IF they are indeed Akselloak, then Akselloak is not an NM. It's just the 3rd tier Ice Bomb.

This may very well be an NM and I could just have the name of the 3rd tier Ice Bomb wrong because the names are very, very similar (like one or two letters off maybe). But I'm 90% sure that Akselloak is not an NM. Again, I'll repost when I find out for sure.

Hope this helps and use extreme caution when fighting these. They're more vicious than their Bomb cousins because thier DoT is mean. It's like Frost for about 17HP per tick for about 700 damage. So be careful.
