Spawned by trading a Fomor Codex to the Stale Draft in the room at H-5 on the chapel map; other Tarutaru Fomor spawn in that room. This is a Tarutaru Summoner/Black Mage Fomor.
This NM can only be spawned by a Tarutaru character who has very high Fomor Hate, gained from killing many regular Fomor mobs. If a character's Fomor Hate is not high enough, it will give messages such as, "You start to get goosebumps" and "Your heart is racing" when examining the Stale Draft. If a character has high enough Fomor Hate to spawn the NM, they will instead get the message, "Your common sense tells you to leave as quickly as possible" when examining it.
From level 0 Fomor hate it will take 10 kills to bring it to "Your heart is racing". From there it will take another 25 kills to have high enough hate to spawn the NM.
After the NM has been spawned, it can be respawned by trading another Fomor Codex after 15 minutes. This will require gaining more Fomor Hate, however; the character who spawns the NM will have their hate for spawning this set back to the lowest level. The Fomor Hate required to spawn this NM is also reduced automatically over time.
If at all possible avoid getting a Tarutaru character in your Swift Belt party if said character plans on popping Lobais. This NM is widely believed to be the most difficult of the Fomor, as more likely than not your average party of 6 will wipe.

If you are a Tarutaru character it would be best to just have a Hume friend get enough Fomor Hate to pop Balor for you instead of attempting Lobais.

Killable by: 8+ characters in this level 50 capped area; the Astral Flow is the difficult section of the fight, otherwise it can be handled by a single group.
Special Attacks: Astral Flow (summons an Avatar to use it with) for ~600 damage; both black and summoning magic.
The NM will summon a random Elemental. When the NM uses its 2hr it will summon an avatar of the same element (ie: If he has a Dark Elemental he will summon Fenrir).
This version of the Swift Belt NM series is generally considered the most difficult. A safer option is generally to allow a non-Tarutaru to pop one of the other NMs instead for Tarutaru players who wish to obtain a belt.

An update has lowered the difficulty of this NM, though it is still considered the hardest of the five.

In Irish mythology, Lobais was one of the chiefs of the Fomor.
