LOL! So strange and funny, mew! Cobylns seem to be one of the most creative and unique monsters in FFXIV! It definitely is better than another crab or pugil. Are cobylns quite common in all regions? I think there might be some NM class colbyns in Ul'dah but I think they were found around Limsa as well. Are they typically stronger than other enemies or are they within the starter class zones?

Mal, spoilerize that image or something. orz

I'm sorry but I cannot certify their lovableness due to a severe lack of Puhi-puhis, Piko-pikos and/or Nyaas.

And also because they are freaking ugly, even though having one as a pet may or may not help to keep curses away.

Thank you Mal!

I love the Cobylns. They follow you around like the goldfish in Sea. I especially love the sounds they make. The first time I heard one die I yelled on vent "OMG like a Pod racer in Episode 1!!!" Then I heard "Jesus you are such a fucking nerd..."

J9, they are like goblins in FFXI. There are several different strengths of them scattered all over. And yes there are even noobie ones outside of Ul'Dah.

They're typically easier than the enemies around them, and drop mining stuff. Good for anybody who needs to mine and rank up another job at the same time.

Yay! Thanks for the info! It's really neat how the FFXIV bestiary is already feeling different and unique, kind of like comparing the bestiary between FF1 and FF2. New designs are found and differences and stuff! I think since Yoshida is the art director, they must of influenced some of the creative monster designs in this! Just like FFXII which even had historical profiles for each one!

Damn, looked for a video of someone killing one so you could hear the sounds it makes but couldn't find one.

Anyone want to fraps that and post it or find one on the net?

I think you're confused, they like more like Zoomers:



Well except for the Cobylns seem to have eyestalks and tentacles.
