How should Tonberries be implemented?

[Mudd]

Do you think they should just be random mobs?
A boss like a Tonberry King? (I never saw one in 11, but they tend to hit hard in other Final Fantasies)
Or a beast man race?

I personally would like to see the latter, with some that are agressive in the wilderness.
They look like the kind of mob to me that could live in close proximity to moogles ;x

Anyways, what are your thoughts?

Both random highlevel mobs and a primal King Tonberry, like the moogle. Would be neat to have tonberry weapons ;P

Are you posting this after reading my thread? Or is this just an odd coincidence?

Tonberries need to be introduced exactly like this:

They need to be introduced as high-level content when the caps get raised and not a moment before.

I'd like them to have their own open world dungeon, full of tough tonberries spamming their typical 'Everyone's Grudge', with a conditional spawn Tonberry King that drops sick lootz

There's a few Tonberry King type bosses in FFXI, the one in Abyssea comes to mind (which is probably worse than fighting a Tonberry King lol.)

They should be implemented with a hate system like older FFs, so that way people who slaughter them endlessly gets penalized with a donk to the bal-neck.

Tonberry king? I thougt it was just the Don Tonberry?

I always considered them the cutthroat mobster variety of beastmen, lol.

Edit: this is the most epic scenic introduction to tonberry ive ever seen, lol:

Answer: they should be implemented just below the twig.

Just brilliant! Lots of thought already put into it. I also like the fact that a lot of the rewards are crafted, not just gained. I always thought that would be a better idea as it allows the possibilty of failure/HQ.
