Magmalice

Magmasse · no. 168 in the monster list

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

They might look like champion rock chuckers, but it's their slap you want to watch out for. Hard to harm with earth or fire.

One theory suggests that they are the lava limbs of mega moai that went the way of most magma and flowed free.

Habitat (in-game monster list)

The Magmaroo · Wyrmneck

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: does not react to the party (never chases or flees).

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.
