  • 21-24 hour Timed Spawn from time of death or depop. Will only pop during Earth or double Earth weather. Can also pop if Earth weather is up prior to the start of it's window and continues over into its window. If no Earth weather occurs between 21-24 hours it can pop after during a following Earth weather.
  • Passive NM that will not aggro at all unless you attack it, similar to Vouivre.
  • Will despawn if all hate is lost and the weather is no longer Earth or double Earth, similar to Elemental behavior.
  • Has Draw In ability that attracts all Alliance members within the zone (similar to the Minotaur in Phomiuna Aqueducts). This is followed by Earthbreaker, Venom Storm or Wild Rage then a single target TP move (Mandible Bite, Death Scissors, or Venom Sting).
  • If you are on a Chocobo at the time, you will still be drawn-in. You will not be dismounted from your Chocobo but you will take damage plus additional effects.
  • If you are K.O.ed at the time of Draw In, your body will still be drawn-in. (Similar to Tractor)

Historical Background[]

The Vinegarroon is a specific species of scorpion. It is in the Order Uropygi, known as the Whip Scorpions. Whip Scorpions have a stingerless, whip-like tail, which is used as a sense organ, not a weapon. The Vinegarroon (Mastigoproctus giganteus) is a scorpion that shoots acetic acid (vinegar) in mist form when it is threatened. The Vinegarroon contains no venom, but they do have powerful claws. They are nocturnal carnivores. They are found in the Desert Southwest of the United States and Mexico.
