Shadowbeak
#189
DarkNeeds Shadowbeak Saddle equipped — without that gear the skill does nothing. It unlocks at Technology level 47 for 4 points, so a Pal caught early can sit unusable for a while.
It came out of the depths of madness and its existence makes no sense on any level. Every genetic tie to other Pals is gone, to the point that calling it a Pal at all is questionable.

How to Get Shadowbeak
Shadowbeak 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 Shadowbeak spawn between level 50 and 80. A level 80 one resists far more than a level 50; catch cheap first, then farm the high spawns for condensing.
Its capture rate is 1.0, which makes it dead average, which makes the back-strike bonus worth lining up before you throw.
