The oldest mob in FFXI?

[Alhanelem]

There were zones even back in the days that almost never had people in them. For example, I would put my money on something in Dangruf Wadi.

more accurately, I'd put that money on the monsters in the North Gustaberg canyon you access from dangruf wadi.

However, If we speak only from the NA release of the game and before htat, I'd put my money on monsters in certain parts of some rise of the zilart areas, many of which had no purpose for a long time- Some parts of the jungle I only ever visted while searching for Mog Tablets.

Good point in a way, but those are only there when you are there. Otherwise they're not spawned because there's no active battlefield. I think we're talking about monsters that have been up for the longest durations.

I would have to say the 2 oldest mobs (per se) would be between the Noble mold and the Yara Ma Yha Who.
I mean really, how often do you ever see anyone wearing either of those items?
(Though I would wager the former is likely been a bit more hunted then the latter.)

The single monster spending the most time alive without ever being killed is actually most likely a regular monster in a remote / hard to reach / high level location.

Now i'm starting to want them to provide census data on this lol.
