Eeltail Beast

Earth Grass Final Form Original Form

Its head has almost no vision; it relies mainly on its mouth to sense airflow for direction, occasionally charging recklessly across the ground. When roaring, the bell-shaped flower in its mouth vibrates, producing ringing chimes. They communicate with companions through these sounds.

Notes
  • Eel Tail Beast's trait 'Lily of the Valley Evening Bell' causes it to lose half its current HP upon first entry, meaning it starts at low health and needs quick healing or low-HP mechanics.
  • Base stats: Physical Defense 138 is high, Magic Defense 113 is moderate, both offenses 91 are low, Speed 65 is extremely slow. Positioned as a slow tank/attrition pet.
  • There are multiple Counter skills in the skill pool (Mud Skin, Burrow, Enzyme Adjustment, Earth Spike, Branch Whip), suitable for counter-attacking and attrition battles
  • Salt Gathering is the only stable self-healing method, and can grow permanently, almost mandatory
  • With extremely slow speed, securing initiative is nearly impossible, thus relying on counter mechanics and weather/field control to fight.
