Category:Boss creatures
The Boss Creature System upgrades newly created creatures into bosses, minibosses, or packs. Upgraded creatures have their level and basic stats boosted, and are granted a number of special abilities called boons. Bosses are semi-unique and will always be created with the same special boons, minibosses have randomly selected boons, and packs have randomly selected boons and show up with multiple friends. Boss Creatures have a special adjective not otherwise seen on that creature spawn. Players have alternatively called this "glam critters," "gifted creatures," or "boosted critters."
Killing a Boss Creature will grant long-term experience as well as normal experience
Locations
Below is a list of creatures affected by the Boss Creature System. If a creature inhabits more than one area they may not be affected in every area (particularly if the areas are located in different zones).
These creatures in these locations are setup to create bosses, minibosses, or packs.
Abilities
Boss Creatures may be appraised to receive a hint about what their special abilities are.
>appraise chieftain The hisskra chieftain is medium in size and about five feet high in his current state. You would probably be able to take on the chieftain, but with some risk to your health. The hisskra chieftain appears to be dazzling, drab, and spindly.
Boons
Boons are loosely divided into 3 tiers. Bosses will be granted the same boons every time that they appear, and may have additional special abilities. Minibosses will be granted a random selection of boons, and at most one tier three boon. Packs are granted fewer boons than minibosses, are limited to tier one or two, and the pack will have all of the same boons.
