Thing in the Swamp!

Forgive my appearance; I do not mean to scare you. My name is Forest of the Blood Moon Pack. I have donned this monstrous apparel to help my hunt and navigate the Entangled Swamp easier.

The bounty I posted was for what appears to be a Consumed Colpach that has escaped from the Corrupted Spring. That region has been quarantined, but ever since that last border watch has gone missing, more and more Consumed have been escaping.

If you are strong enough to battle a Colpach in the swamp, I would be grateful to have your able paw at my side. I have a collection of moonstone shards that I am willing to share with those that help!

Monster Bounties:

These are very difficult. You DO NOT know what synergies to target. And there are often other requirements, such as a pebble buy-in, wolf level, time-limit, etc. The reward is often Moonstones.

Requirements!

88

Cost: 10,000 Pebbles!
Location: Murkwood!
Duration: Available till 5/4/26
Reward: Moonstone Shards!
Secret Reward: 25ms!

1. Your goal is to discover the Monster's Synergies by initially submitting wolves and companions with a broad range of synergies.
   
2. Be sure to review the results of other wolves' hunts before yours to know what wolf and companion combo to try.
   
3. After submitting your wolf and companion, prove their hunting prowess by PM'ing me the Bounty's Cost! Once I receive it, I will post the results of your hunt as soon as I can.
   
4. Fear not if your hunt returns empty! You can submit a new hunting party once a day after rollover, at no additional cost! But do be sure to come back and try again, as this bounty is only available for a short time!

• Battling in a swamp is no easy affair. Perhaps a long-legged lorwolf will be able to navigate the swamp without having to constantly swim.
  
• Colpachs are Assailant, Assailant, Tactician. Consumed creatures lose a part of themselves when they surrender to Chaos. Take advantage of this!
  
• Consumed Colpachs are very ferocious. Perhaps you should bring a tough companion that can survive its onslaught.

• Monsters have a "Weakness" which is a set of 6 pre-selected synergies!
  
• To get an idea of what its weakness is, you should listen to Ashe's Warrior Advice.
• The first person to successfully submit a wolf and companion combo that has the 6 pre-selected synergies will be declared the Heroic Hunter!

@Realtin GHXST Indica and his Basidio ventured out into the Entangled Swamp to deal with this Consumed Colpach. The mire of the swamp threatened to slow Indica down, but they were able to navigate it with ease. Following claw marks on nearby trees, they were able to track the monster to a sunken den. Indica went to take a peek inside when his Basidio gave a warning ribbit. Thanks to his companion's warning, he was able to leap back as Consumed Colpach pounced down from a tree above! Indica's Basidio hopped onto the monster, distracting it long enough for Indica to deliver a solid blow. The monster roared and then dove into the water, waiting for an opportune moment to strike...

Potter and his Gaudrey arrive to assist the hunt! That's 4 Assailant, 1 Healer, and 1 Dueler.

@spootPotter and his Gaudrey slinked into the swamp following the trail Indica made. They eventually came across Indica, who was watching the water very carefully. Before Indica could warn Potter, the Consumed Colpach lunged out of the water! Fortunately, their Gaudrey snapped at it, slowing it down just enough for Potter dodge out of the way. Potter lunged back in and slashed the monster before it could dive back into the water!

Burdock arrives with his chin held high and eyes blazing like determined twin ashen fires. "I will do my part and do what I can."

Together, they bring...

Sparxie and her vigilant Vulpecula companion enter the fray!

2 Assailant, 2 Healer, 1 Poison, 1 Rogue

@.sweetzmagnolia Burdock and their Vulkira enter the swamp! They quickly meet up with the other bounty hunters, who immediately tell him to freeze. Unsure why but trusting them, he and his Vulkira stand motionless, and out of the corner of Burdock's eye, he notices a thin antler poking up from the swamp. Nodding to his companions, he turns ever so slightly to ready himself for an attack. And with a quick lunge he leaps down upon it. The Consumed Colpach surprised, bursting out of the water, claws flashing. Burdock's companion is able to get a solid bite in before the monster slips back into the water.

@Skittyfairy Sparxie and her vigilant Vulpecula creep into the Entangled Swamp. Her Vulpecula, flying through the low-hanging tree limbs, quickly finds the other lorwolves and guides Sparxie to them. Learning from the other lorwolves that the Consumed Colpach seems to be an ambush predator, Sparxie came up with a plan with her Vulpecula. Her Vulpecula would use the light they emit to trick the monster into attacking, and it worked perfectly. Her Vulpecula flashed its light a little away from itself, and the monster burst up from the swamp, completely missing the Vulpecula. The other lorwolves pounced on the monster, delivering a series of strong attacks before it once again vanished into the swamp.

Frog Puddle isn't a stranger to the swamp. Them, and their Basidio friend shall lurk through the bog, hunting the consumed you seek. They hone their skills toward a powerful attack, defense, and poison! 3 Assailant - 2 Protector - 1 Primal

@Yoganman Frog Puddle and their Basidio venture off into the Entagled Swamp. The swamp is deep, and Frog Puddle struggles a little, but being no stranger to the swamp, she easily makes it to the other lorwolves. Though they didn't receive a warm welcome, for the Consumed Colpach immediately snapped up Frog Puddle's poor Basidio. However, Basidio's are dangerous little creatures; in the jaws of the monster, the Basidio puffed up and loosed a puff of poison. Disgusted, the monster spat out the Basidio, giving Frog Puddle a chance to strike it before it fled once again into the mire.
