Notes:

• Appears during Campaign Battles as the leader of his elite guard. They are deployed exclusively to Pashhow Marshlands and Beadeaux.
• Calls in 2 Gi'Ghi's Peiste.

• These pets will attack their own targets as long as Gi'Ghi is within 20'. If either Gi'Ghi or his pets are pulled outside 20' of each other, the pets will lose all enmity and return to their master.
• Most of the damage comes from his pets TP moves. Aqua Fortis can one-shot many jobs if Familiar'd.
• His pets are highly resistant to Sleep, but prone to Blind and Paralyze.
• Attacking his pets (directly or indirectly) gains an tremendous amount of enmity.

• Casts Breakga frequently.
• Best way to deal with Gi'Ghi Rockhopper is by pulling the pets to 15'-18' and pointed away from Gi'Ghi. (To prevent cone aoe damage on others.)
• Puppetmasters can deploy their pets at max casting range (17') behind Gi'Ghi. This puts them outside Breakga range, allowing them to cast Stona or use Eraser on their master/party. Other jobs that can't stay out of Breakga range have to rely on Barpetrify, Barstone and Resist Petrify(traits or gear). Breakga doesn't last very long, but Gradual Petrify from peiste can last 3 minutes or more.
