Jormuntide
#121Needs Jormuntide Saddle equipped — without that gear the skill does nothing. It unlocks at Technology level 40 for 2 points, so a Pal caught early can sit unusable for a while.
Legend holds that a wise man, wrongly condemned and thrown into a whirlpool, came back in this form to destroy the kingdom.

How to Get Jormuntide
Jormuntide does not spawn randomly. There is exactly one, a fixed level 55 alpha standing in its own spot on the map, so this is a scripted fight you travel to rather than something you search for.
Jormuntide is Dragon / Water, so an Ice or Electric attacker takes it down fastest — and a Pal it resists will drag the fight long enough for it to heal or flee.
Wild Jormuntide spawn between level 55 and 80. The higher end resists spheres noticeably harder, so it is worth hunting the low-level spawns for your first catch and saving the high ones for a condenser stack.
Its capture rate is 1.0, which makes it exactly average, so weaken it properly and throw from behind for the back-strike bonus.
The fixed alpha is a warp rather than a search. It stands about 65 m south of the Altar of the Windcaller statue, barely off to the east, so the fast travel drops you within sight of it — the next nearest statue in any direction, Dustview Coast, is 540 m away, and there is no reason to walk in from one. What the trip costs you is time, not danger: the alpha carries no extra health and hits no harder than an ordinary level 55 Jormuntide, but takes only a quarter of the damage it otherwise would, so bring a hitter that sustains rather than one that opens big.
Playing Jormuntide Well
Watering 7 is one step off the ceiling — Shaolong alone reads 8, and Neptilius is the only other Pal that matches 7 — and the reason to build the base around this one instead is supply. Shaolong and Neptilius each have exactly one registered breeding combination, themselves paired with themselves, so a second copy means catching a second copy. Jormuntide comes out of 88 different parent pairs and also breeds true, which turns one alpha kill into as many top-rank waterers as you want pen time for.
In water it is the second-fastest ride in the game at a 1,800 swim dash, behind Neptilius on 2,000 — but the saddle order reverses that verdict for most of a playthrough. Neptilius' saddle sits 24 technology levels above Jormuntide's, and every water mount you can unlock earlier is slower: Surfent 1,440, Ghangler 1,350, Azurobe 1,000. The catch is the stamina pool. At 150 against Neptilius' 410 and Ghangler's 320, the dash is a burst you spend and not a cruise you hold, so it wins short crossings and loses long ones.
