Nundoom
| ||||||||||||||
Overview
Nundooms are yet another big-cat type magical creature. They most closely resemble the leopards that they live so near to in Africa. Their fur tends towards a dark, black complexion speckled with yellow. Nundooms are considered by researchers to be some of the deadliest magical creatures of all, up there with Dragons and Dementares. Their claim to deadly fame lies in their stealth, agility, and most significantly: their extremely potent, toxic breath. The effects are so virile that it’s been said to wipe out entire villages. Thanks to the overwhelmingly formidable skills of this creature, it has never been defeated by any less than 100 wizards fighting it at once.
Behaviour and Defence
Because of their dark-toned coats, Nundooms are much better at camouflaging themselves at night, which is when they leave their hideaways to hunt and kill. They’re extremely stealthy and agile, giving them the ability to not only hide from even the most trained wizard eyes in the shadows but also to pounce before they can do anything about it. They tend to be lone cats but sometimes form small packs to raid villages. They’re carnivorous and are capable of swallowing their victims whole.
While they aren’t easily threatened, when they are, Nundooms unleash their toxic breath, dealing 1600 damage. Due to their dangerous nature, some studies have been done on their toxins, but after several lab accidents, these studies have not produced much content, or much more desire to investigate the Nundoom species. Still, some information, such as their 5335 HP has been uncovered, alongside the strength of their claws’ swipe: 1067 damage. Any player below graduate level attempting to take these felines out ought to think twice.
Habitat
Nundooms are native to East Africa, where their leopard look-alikes provide them with cover from their would-be muggle hunters. However, in recent years, they’ve been spotted in forest clearings past Greenshore Island, one of the most dangerous islands in the magical world thanks to the dangerous mobs that live there. In their native lands, during the daytime, they retreat into their tree-top hideouts and caves, but at night, they raid and wipe out entire villages when nature’s bounty is not plentiful enough. In contrast, the Greenshore-dwelling Nundooms seem more subdued, more willing to appear during the day, and often are spotted using larger rocks as back-scratchers. Surrounding their dens, swathes of Lvl 70 Wormwood grow and enrich the forests of Greenshore.
Defeat
Upon defeat, Nundooms have a chance of dropping Native Iron, Fragile Leather, Rough Diamond, Brittle Elder, Nundoom Hides, Nundoom Meat, and Nundoom Tails. These ingredients can be used in Professions items like the Puffing Pod Fudge VIII, Jester’s Stew VIII, White Cocoacursed Tea VIII, Hijinx Mixture VIII, Piercing Potion II, Puffing Pod Fudge IX, Jester’s Stew IX, White Cocoacursed Tea IX, Hijinx Mixture IX, and Piercing Potion III, and crafting Lvl 71-80 gear. Nundooms also have a small chance of dropping random Lvl 71-80 gear recipes and broom recipes.
