Well that was exciting...

I had something like that happen to me during my first week with the game. I was exploring the area around Ul'dah, like around the entrance area, and decided to take a right toward the pillar/rock formations. I was, I believe, a rank 7 lancer (not sure about my physical level) and I stumbled across some weird dog/cat/hyena looking thing. Since this was my first week I had no idea about the color indicator/orbs by the names, so I didn't know this was something I shouldn't be messing with.
I wanted to get a closer look at it so I got closer and thought it looked awesome, but intimidating at the same time. I guess I got too close because it backed up and got into some defensive posture and growled. The minute I saw that I knew I was in trouble and tried to run away; it did one bite and hit me for 10,000 points of damage. No kidding. I remember it was that much because I was left speechless, I tried to reat what I saw on-screen but all I could say was, "ten...ten tho....thous....what?!" I laughed pretty hard too, it was pretty funny.

Lol Funny. ^-^b

It's cool hearing other people's run-ins with tough monsters. I hope SE adds a few more of them. Kinda surprised at how many of you also seem to like this. It just adds unexpected excitement.

Lil off-topic: I'm not sure if the game has coeurls right now. Would definitely be cool to come across one of those.
