Ignis Scientia on the sabertusk
Sabertusk is an enemy in Final Fantasy XV fought in Leide and during the Howling Wind of Hunger hunt. When fought north of Hammerhead between 4 and 8 AM, a slactuar rarely spawns among them. They are easy enemies and good for AP farming when killed with warp-strikes.
A slightly larger version, called the alphatusk (アルファタツク, arufatatsuku?) in the official guide and in the bestiary description under "Gamma", is a slightly larger sabertusk fought during the main quest Hunter Becomes the Hunted. It has the same stats as the regular sabertusk.
Sabertusks appear in Timed Quests alongside flexitusks, yielding 50 AP, on the following days of the month: 4, 13, and 26.
A group of five Lv.18 sabertusks also appears in the Leide League and All-Star Monster Mayhem of the Totomostro with a team name Saber Tuskforce.

Battle[]
Sabertusks spawn in groups and circle around the player. They sometimes pounce to pin the player down for a button-smashing QTE. They resist fire and are weak to ice. They are weak to daggers and firearms.
Being the basic enemies the player first encounters, they are easily defeated with simple weapon strikes and low level elemancy. Warp-striking them earns easy AP.
