Shadowbeak No. 189

DarkSize LRideableDay & night
✦ Rarity · Legendary — "No relatives left"

Rarity 10, nocturnal, and a flying mount that gets faster in the air while boosting Dark attacks by 15–30%. Its drop table gives away what it is: Plasteel, Carbon Fiber and an Innovative Technical Manual, where other Pals give organs and hide.

Partner skill
Modified DNA — "Can be ridden as a flying mount. While flying, Movement Speed is increased. Enhances Dark attacks by (15~30)% while mounted." A mount buff rather than a party one — the Dark bonus applies while you are riding, so it rewards fighting from the air.

"Born from the depths of insanity, its very existence defies reason. Having lost all genetic ties to other Pals, one wonders if it could still even be considered a Pal."

"Born from the depths of insanity, its very existence defies reason. Having lost all genetic ties to other Pals, one wonders if it could still even be considered one." The synthetic drop table stops being a curiosity once you read that.
