Spawn Conditions	Companions/Summons
Spawned by examining a Planar Rift at (G-6), (H-6) or (I-7) in Qufim Island while in possession of a White Stratum Abyssite III and a Voidstone.	None
Special Abilities	Passive Traits
Slicing Sickle: Conal AoE that deals heavy physical damage, knockback, and Defense Down. Raptorial Claw: AoE that deals heavy physical damage, knockback, and Magic Defense Down. Macerating Bile: Aoe that inflicts heavy Bio and all stats down. (-20 to all stats) Phlegm Expulsion: Aoe Slow, Silence, and Amnesia. Preying Posture: Attack Boost, Accuracy Boost, Magic Attack Boost, and Intension for Kaggen, along with a very potent Defense Down aura. Each of the buffs are dispellable, but it will take four dispels to remove them all. Death Prophet: Conal AoE Death. Only used below 50% HP. Can be Stunned. Stun can be resisted. It is always preceded by Preying Posture only. However, Kaggen can use Preying Posture without following up with Death Prophet. If Kaggen uses Preying Posture twice in a row, then it will definitely use Death Prophet as its 3rd TP move. Gradually builds resistance to Stun. It is advised to save Stuns only for Death Prophet. Also a Black Mage with a Dark Magic skill of 330+ is recommended to successfully Stun Kaggen.
Physical Qualities	Magical Qualities
Normal hits are frontal AoE and takes multiple shadow images. Will continue swinging like an Iron Giant even if the current hate target is not in range. Occasionally leaps into the air and lands for high radial AoE damage in place of a normal attack round.	Graviga - 10' radius Paralyga - 15' radius Sleepga - 10' radius Poisonga II - 15' radius Aero V Aeroga IV - 10' radius Aeroja
Further Notes
Recommended to use long range attackers as Macerating Bile only has about 10' range. (see testimonials)

Historical Background
