Cactuar Notes
- It's one of the cute critters from Eorzea! I tried to pet it, but this little guy's got thorns - a thousand of them! I'll be tweezing for weeks...
- Sizes: 146.12 (Fix size)
AnonymousWhen I first caught it I got 3000 research points. If I remember correctly this monster is one that comes from the Final Fantasy franchise, I used to be weirded out by them while playing Final Fantasy 13 part 2. It's possibly because I have fond memories of playing FF13p2 that I like this thing so much, oh well, of to capture some more!

Found one on top of the highest point in the Wildspire waste on a pillar. Captured him then immediately another one spawned near Barroth route.

Found 2 this week. Caught the first one, then used another on a Diablos. They’re pretty useful Despite the fact that I don’t have the DLC, he still appeared...........

Found in area 7, I'm in Low Rank. Seems to be on a timer that runs somewhere in the vicinity of 5-10 minutes, maybe longer. Didn't notice the map marker at first so I can't say for sure what it's respawn is. If trying to capture anything...do not fight near it. It does not play fair.

Only seen (an caught 1 luckily) when Barroth is present in the area but that is only anecdotal.

I think it's worth noting that those are tied to the behemoth update and, as such, are not available on pc to this date

Found in the Wildspire Waste. If you hit it, it will spin and shoot spikes out. Good to do a lot of damage to monsters in close proximity to it.
