Before you is a Xeochicatl, a fearsome monster given life by the chaotic mage of the Meridian. The Xeochicatl is the embodiment of destruction, a violent monster that seems uncontrollable. These monsters feed off of the magic of the lands which makes them very powerful. Rumors abound about the origin of these monsters, but you have little time to contemplate these rumors in the presence of such destructive power!

Resist/Weakness:
Special Attacks: May cast Fireball, Fire Wall, Heat, and Dement
Location: Mana nodes. Look for invasion messages.
You will receive a purple text notification in the chat/game window, along with a sound effect, that says "you have an uneasy feeling" about one of the mana nodes you connected with. If you did not connect to the mana node they are attacking, you won't receive this notification.
If the location of the Xeo's is not found, you will receive one final notice that tells you exactly what room they are in. Hurry - this means you only have a few minutes left to kill them.
If you don't kill enough of the Xeo's in time, the mana node will be drained - you'll either temporarily lose mana from it, or completely "sever your connection", meaning you will have to reconnect with it when it's available again. The mana node itself will appear lifeless and you won't be able to "Use" it for a few days.
Comments: The Xeochicatl drop valuable heartstones, which can be used inside rented rooms (for storage chests) or for powerful spells like bond (Shal. 6)to keep items attached to you after you die.
Tips: Have shadow form (Riija 1) or invisibility (Qor 5 or the ring of invis.) on yourself before engaging the Xeochicatl in combat - fight them one by one and use "wall" spells if you have them. These two buffs are more crucial than any other enchantment. To fight them without these buffs endangers not only yourself, but all the players around you. If you have Shadow Form, cast it on others in your party.
If other players do enter the area without these spells, be careful - it may cause the Xeo's around you to begin casting fire and lightning walls.
Also helpful is Eagle Eyes (Kran 4) for their blinds, and Resist Magic (Kran 5) for their elemental attacks.
Fight the Xeo's away from the entrance/exit area to the map they are located in, or it will make it more difficult for other players (and yourself) if you need to retreat then re-enter.
Notable Loot: Red Heartstones
