Change [MEGABEAST] to [SEMIMEGABEAST]. You can't be sent on a quest to kill it if it's a [MEGABEAST].

One billion b-balls dribbling simultaneously throughout the galaxy. One trillion b-balls being slam dunked through a hoop throughout the cosmos. I can feel every single b-ball that has ever existed at my fingertips, I can feel their collective knowledge channeling through my veins. Every jumpshot, every rebound and three-pointer, every layup, dunk and free throw.

I don't see it being too insanely dangerous. Just pretty dangerous with that permanent intermittent paralysis poison.

I don't even think dragons are that good. I mean, their bite attack is 6 or something.

Seriously though, even dragons don't have that much attack power. They have maybe 10, IIRC. Also, how do I set their general toughness?

...

Does the [EXTRACT_PARALYZE_INTERMITTENT] poison even exist?  I've never seen it before.

I was sent to kill a dragon before.

And I succeeded.
