Bestiary Entry
Genus: Rank II Mark Classification: Undead

"Our tale begins in Incident: the Slaying in cold Blood of many Garif - a People as a Rule content to live and perish in Nature's Embrace - by Imperials for their Opposition to an Imperial Magicite mining Operation. The fierce hatred of the slain Garif towards their Slayers gave rise to this monstrous Spirit. Having long forgotten its Purpose, it now attacks all Men it finds. Unable to strike at their own Ancestors, the Garif posted a bill for this marks in hopes that a Hunter would aid them."

Battle
Ixtab can summon undead creatures and casts Doom on the party leader very often. Not much to say here, just hack at him with your weapons or use your quickenings to dispatch this guy rather quickly.

Rewards:
 * 1300 gil
 * Ether
 * Soul Powder

Battle Tip
Though Ixtab is undead and does annoying status ailments including Doom, a way is to get either Mateus or Belias into the fight with Ixtab and his annoying status ailments will be immune to your esper an cause no damage except his normal attack. But if your summoner gets status ailments, you have to do it manually.
