Boppin' badger

Blaireau bongo · no. 23 in the monster list

Everything is read from the game's code, unless stated otherwise

Badgers with large leaves and the gift of the groove. Their moves are admired by many in the monster world.

They'd rather be dancing than doing battle, so they beat their bellies like bongos to try and get travellers tapping their toes too.

Habitat (in-game monster list)

Eastern Stornway · Zere

In the game, a defeated monster's entry names one of these places as soon as you have visited it, even if you never defeated that monster there; otherwise “?????????” (checked in game). The first two are named, “Etc.” for the third.

In the field

Behaviour: spots the party all around it up to 3.5 units, then chases it, but runs away if the leader's attack + defence exceed 3 times its own.

In each cell: share of the visible monsters in that zone, then (in brackets) share of that zone's battles it takes part in, alone or with others. “Joins”: never visible, it only comes along with the monster you touched. “In the forest”, “on the coast”…: which monsters appear depends on the ground under the hero's feet (grass, forest, coast, rocky ground, swamp…); with no detail, they appear anywhere on the map. “Starflight Express stop”, “islet”, “part”: a separate corner of the region, reached as shown. Exact figures from the game code.

Place	Day	Night
Eastern Stornway, on grass or in the forest	33% (33% of battles)	33% (33% of battles)
Zere, on grass or in the poison swamp	29% (41% of battles)	17% (29% of battles)
Zere, in the forest	42% (53% of battles)	42% (53% of battles)
