[RicaRuin]

Date & Time: 21.08.2022, 00:44 CEST
Frequency: always
World name: Cerberus
Character name: Rica Elak'ha
Retainer name: -
NPC name: チョコボ
Monster name: -
Class/Level: Gunbreaker Level 82, but any job really
Party or solo: both
In-game time: always
Area and coordinates: Elpis, X: 37,6 Y: 16,7 Z 3,1
Steps:
1. Go to Elpis near Pandaemonium Entrance
2. Take a look at the Chocobo near it
3. Examine it, it suddenly has no name or barding even when looking like wearing a Lominsan Barding.
4. Go to other Servers (checked Spriggan and Ragnarok) - not there!

Additonal Info:
It appears to related to Pandaemonium, but it can be seen by both PS4/5 friends and PC players. Also, it can be seen after clearing all Pandaemonium Raids, but also on Alts still in the middle of Elpis MSQ. The japanese characters seem to translate to 'Chocobo'. Also, we could only see it on Cerberus.

Is it a placeholder for something that has yet to appear?

It does seem to be missing the bit under the name that says who it belongs to, but it strikes me as a chocobo that belongs to a level 90 player who did not level it or assign any points. Maybe it belongs to a bot underground.

We spent some hours there analysing everything - there wasn't any player around at all, not even underground.

My friend saw it standing there too, probably just a placeholder for some future NPC for Pandaemonium story?

[RicaRuin]

It's just so weird that it's only on Cerberus. If it really was a placeholder that got triggered to appear somehow, wouldn't that also apply for other servers?

Also, I don't want that bug fixed, Support Forum staff, I want to know what it is and why it happened.

Probably the same as when you see some AOE remaining long after everybody is gone.
Probably a player's Chocobo that glitched.
