Notes:

• Spawned by trading Spoilt Blood to the ??? at (E-8) on Map #2.
  • Enter Aydeewa Subterrane from Wajaom Woodlands (G-7) and head around to the west.
• Melee attacks have an additional effect of: Silence, Paralyze, Petrification, Drain, Curse, and Plague.
  • The additional effect will activate in the following order: Poison, Blind, Paralyze, Slow and Silence, etc.
  • Blink will absorb some of the additional effects.
  • It will always prioritize the additional effect the player is currently not inflicted with. That is to say, if additional effect: Poison inflicts a player with Poison and Poisona or Antidote is used, then the additional effect will continue to be Poison until the player is unable to remove it before the next additional effect occurs.
  • The additional effect activates at a very high percentage.
• Has very fast attack rate, similar to Hundred Fists. Wiped three shadows, and got additional hits per attack round.
• Very resistant or immune to Bind and Gravity. Susceptible to Slow, Paralyze, Blind, and Poison.
• High accuracy.
• Recommended using max defense tank, such as RDM/BLU, or PLD/RDM, as its hits are overall weak.
• Hits rarely do over 80 damage on someone with under 300 defense.
• Doesn't have any form of enhanced movement speed.
• Petrification can last up to 2 minutes.
• 2 Chigoes spawn around the ???. 16-minute repop.
• PLD with max defense up abilities (around 750 DEF) and Phalanx (from RDM or SMN) was causing the NM to hit for 0.
• Also seemed to have pretty high evasion.
• Hate is less random than it seems. Chigre has rapid enmity decay. Setup involving many different jobs had the monk taking most of the hits, suggesting that because of a monk's low, but near constant, enmity gain; it was best at maintaining hate. When a mage cast a nuke or a melee weaponskilled, Chigre changed targets to them for a short period of time, but soon it went back to the monk. A few -na spells can take hate off a paladin that used Invincible 5 seconds prior.
• It is possible for both rings to drop off the same pop.
