Notes
- Spawned by the Field Parchment at E-8, with Chapter 4 Elite Training page key item, upon trading 20 Beastmen's Seals, up to 1000 gil, or an item up to level 50.
- It is possible Gudanna's job traits and buffs depend on the job combination of the user that spawned it. Gudanna will fight differently each time it is spawned.

- Physical attacks can cause additional effects of Poison, Blind, Drain, Enfire, Enblizzard, Enaero, Enwater, Enthunder or Plague.
- Absorbs one random element. Element absorbed doesn't seem to correspond with in-game day.

- Seems to be able to cast Various White Magic buffs and nukes, including Protect III and Banish II.

- Seems to cast Black Magic enfeebles depending on the day, casted Choke on Windsday.

- Will use a different abilities move depending on the day.
- Recomend fighting on Lightsday, as it only uses Howl, very fast and easy fight then.

- Uses only very weak Shock Wave on Windsday.

- Used Howl and Thunderbolt on Iceday.
- Recomend fighting on Lightsday, as it only uses Howl, very fast and easy fight then.
- Also will use Stun and the special ability Wild Horn.
- Can spawn with shadows (0-6?), but not always.
- Immune to Stun, even from Weapon Bash.
- Susceptible to Paralyze from Ice Spikes
- Very little delay inbetween attacks.
- Can also triple attack.
- Blade: Kamu significantly reduces his accuracy, and can make this fight much easier.
- Soloable by many jobs at 75.
- Use only 2 different abilities per fight.

- You can pop it once every 24 hours Earth time.
(see testimonials).
Historical Background
Gudanna translated from Sumerian means "attacker". This would fit this NM well being a Behemoth, they were used to attack the Allied Forces in the opening sequence of FFXI.
