The monster is very powerful and can be very dangerous to travellers. It has a tough hide which can defend against physical attacks quite well, and it can take many hits. It is, however, weak against magic spells, especially cold ones.
This creature is wild, but their numbers were particularly high, and their behaviour particularly aggressive during Smithy's invasion. Some suggest that these creatures (as well as Starslaps) may have been provoked by Shy Guys which entered the area around the time Smithy attacked. While there is no proof, the theory is that the Shy Guys were hired by Smithy.

Day-O..." -SMRPG
Attack Pattern: They can poison characters with the Venom Drool attack, and they can also use regular attacks, naturally.
Battle Plan: These should be your one of your last targets, because they tend to have more defense power than the other enemies you find along Rose Way. Regular attacks are probably best, but Thunder or Jump will work. Don't use fire, it costs a lot of FP, and causes little damage.
Advanced Strategies: Using Mallow's Thunder attack will weaken these creatures, and may kill many other enemies in the party. Use it early on or forget it, because you want to hit as many enemies at once as possible to get the best bang for your FP.
Blocking these creatures isn't too hard. They approach, and then sort of nod their head down, then bring it up again. Press A as the head is rising to block.
