Notes:

• Lottery Spawn from one of the two possible Tundra Tigers around the tower at F-7, every 1-5 hours. The other tiger is a shared pop with a Living Statue, and is not the placeholder for Nue. (Actually, both tigers are the PH for the living statue, but only one can pop as the living statue at a time))
• Only the Tundra Tigers are a lottery for it, not the Goblin's Tiger summoned by Goblin Traders in that area.
• The Tundra Tiger have a 5 minute timed spawn, but this can seem to vary by a few seconds, maybe 10. Monks camping Nue for Fistful of Fury can use the job ability Chakra to time this.
• Around 2600HP.
• Killable by: 2 characters level 50+, soloable 55+.

Historical Background

The Nue is a creature from Japanese folklore which has the body of a tanuki (raccoon dog), the legs of a tiger, the head of a monkey and a snake in place of the tail. It could also transform into a black cloud and fly around. They tend to be associated with misfortune and illness. The Nue is similar to the Chimera from Greek mythology.
