Notes:

• Spawns from trading any NPCable item to the ??? near the teleport crag until the mob loads; a player may initiate a trade of any number of items only once per game day.

• Items traded to the ??? are factored into a point-based system that determines how close to the surface one trade will make the NM. A rule of thumb is: the higher the value of an item to an NPC shop, the closer the Goblin Archaeologist will get to the surface of the ground to claim that item.
• The closer the voice is to the ground when the ??? is examined determines how many more items must be traded before it spawns.
• If examining the ??? gives the message: "You hear a voice from right beneath the surface of the ground." then the NM will pop within the next item trade or two.
• The effectiveness of the items traded depend upon their sellable value to a vendor. So the more you can sell an item to the vendor for the closer it will bring the voice to the surface if you trade it to the ???.

• The level of the NM can vary widely. The NM can range from level 30 to 75 and the level determined is completely random.
• Can be incredibly dangerous due to varying levels, so spawning this NM can only be done safely by a group of higher level characters.
• Drops 500~1000 gil and always at least one Gold Beastcoin.
• Immune to Sleep and Lullaby.
• Special Attacks: Draw In, Frag Bomb (100-1500 damage AoE)
• According to the official update notes for the December 9, 2004 update, can see through Hide.
