Can't get enough Monstrosity action? Wish you could take down some of your most hated creatures as an Orobon or a Crab? That wait will soon be over. In the upcoming February version update, a new Monstrosity family, Aquans, will be introduced, bringing along a host of new monster Instincts to be implemented! For those that prefer to battle opposing players rather than just taking it to wild monsters, the Infamy and prestige system has been adjusted.

For more details on the Infamy changes, be sure to check below the break. Can't wait to be a Ruszor? Let us know about it over on the ZAM forums!
