Reason why I picked this monster: The final monster to kill to finish Gjallarhorn, I got the kill back in the day when you had to kill it within 1 minute or it warped, 1 chance every run. Thanks to DynamisLordsII. It started my long career as bard.

Reason why I picked this monster: You actually had to hunt this thing down, running around spamming widescan and you never knew when or exactly which zone it was going to appear in making it one of the most annoying HNMs to camp. I liked it because everyone had a good chance of claiming it.

[Msbellabellgirl]

Reason why I picked this monster:
Belladonnas are REALLY pretty. They also are similar to my character name :P (Msbellabellgirl). Also they are a RDM which is the current job I am focusing on. Few people have the chance to admire the artistry of the Belladonnas because they are too busy trying to not die to their powerful spells and weaponskills. This one is found in Escha - Zi'tah! (Edited out names per rules).

Reason why I picked this monster:
Back in the day before power leveling, running into this kitty cat came with a sense of dread, and always made my pulse race trying to sneak by. In the glory days of Ballista it was an incredible sight to see a dozen BST-controlled tigers charge forth at each other in battle.

Little late but... there's something iffy here:

Campaign Start Date:
Monday, November 11, 2019 at 12:00 a.m. (PST)
Monday, November 11, 2019 at 8:00 (GMT)

Campaign End Date:
Sunday, November 17, 2019 at 11:59 p.m. (PST)
Sunday, November 17, 2019 at 7:59 (GMT)

That is... the GMT end date looks to be off by a day.

Thought it was too late today, but just noticed there's still plenty. :]

Greetings everyone!

I would like to thank eveyrone who took part in this campaign! I see many good picks!
My personal pick would be the Formars inside Phomiuna Aqueducts because they drop those glorious subligars!

The in-game item delivery is scheduled for mid-December to all those with qualifying submissions, so be sure to look out for the Byakko Masque!
