I hunt in NK a lot farming HQ Lion Skins. I saw him for the first time ever tonight. He did spawn just north west of the gypsy camp. Despite the3 fact that AI was at the gypsy cam and was on my bard and ran directly to him. I got there just in time to see a griffawn kill him. He did get the griffawn to about half health before he died. Low HP and attacking just about anything that moves would suggest the reason you almost never see him is he just never lasts very long.

. I love that you have 2 posts on this creature 13 years apart though, probably one of the better features of alla comments is they are timeless.
