Necromus
#199
DarkNeeds Necromus Saddle equipped — without that gear the skill does nothing. It unlocks at Technology level 61 for 5 points, so a Pal caught early can sit unusable for a while.
It and Paladius were a single being once. Its blackened form is negative emotion given shape, and yet a trace of compassion still sits deep in its eyes.

How to Get Necromus
Necromus is not in the wild spawn tables or any dungeon, so it cannot be found by exploring — it arrives through a fixed encounter or by breeding rather than a hunt.
Necromus is Dark, so a Dragon attacker takes it down fastest — and a Pal it resists will drag the fight long enough for it to heal or flee.
Wild Necromus spawn at level 60, so bring something comfortably above that: an under-levelled team turns a catch into a damage race you lose.
Its capture rate is 1.0, which makes it middle of the road: take the health bar down first and aim for its back.
