Notorious Monster Traits

Notorious monsters may look like normal types of mobs, but make no mistake -- they are very different. Some general differences between normal mobs and their NM counterparts tend to include:

  • SIZE: A notorious monster is often slightly bigger than its normal mob counterpart. For example, check out Spiny Spipi in East Sarutabaruta.
  • IMPOSSIBLE TO GUAGE: Notorious monsters check as this, rather than "incredibly tough," "even match" or other strength levels.
  • TRUE SIGHT/SOUND: Many notorious monsters are either true sight or true sound, meaning you cannot avoid agroing them using sneak or invisible.
  • NAMES: Unlike generically named normal mobs, all notorious monsters have specific names.
  • ABILITIES: Notorious monsters often hit hard, cast high-level spells or use deady special moves that normal mobs don't have.
