Bestiary Entry
Genus: Rank III Mark Classification: Mutant Slaven

"Being a mutant Slaven, its body encrusted with all Manner of precious Crystals. With the passing of Months and Years, the Impurities in these Crystals are gradually absorbed by the Creature, purpling their natural Ochre Hue to beautiful Effect. These Crystals are traded for a high Price, making their Bearers the Target of much Over-hunting by Soldiers tasked with acquiring Funds for Archadia's War Effort. So have these Slaven learned to fear and attack Men, and for this Reason was a Bill for this Mark posted."

Battle
On the downhill slope with Vultures, try to get the vultures first without alerting him. Have two tanks and a caster-ranged fighter mix. First, cast Protect on both of the tanks, then Haste, then Bravery, and finally Berserk. If you do that and have good equipment, Atomos will fall in a short period of time (within 45 seconds). Your party should be doing 1000-2000 damage per attack. Recommended level is 30, but Bubble Belts should also make this easier.
