((I kinda hope Tri-Surger to become a prominent threat - on its own or as species leader. Neophytos fought well, but difference was too big to overcome. RIP.

I still want to know how Unit-0 fares currently, heh.))

[Nakéen]

((Thanks for pointing out the omissions Sarrak.))

[Sarrak]

"Thanks for assistance, Liel, I think I'm getting more precise in my control with your observations. Seeing that many Essence being completely useless to us gave me an idea. What if we use Lesser Essence to farm monsters with my mind-control?"

"Let me elaborate. Astrosa, do you remember how we met initially? Your strategy was betting on luck heavily, but we can make it much more refined. Not all mosters we have met could consume Essence, but whose who did, might use this free Essence to evolve to the stage that is of use to us. Obviously, herding many weak monsters would be pointless, but stage 2 shows promise. Liel, how many of those weaklings a stage 2 monster would need to evolve into a passable snack?"

Ulkas grinned devilishly before adding:

"And in case we find someone as unique and understanding as myself, who knows? We could use some capable minions. What do you think?"

If controllers are too weak, kill them. Else, feed all Essence to one without brain to see what happens and if it can still evolve. Then, rush to our destination, using Astrosa eyes to seek good prey - or numerous stage 2 pack.

[Dustan Hache]

ogres are smarter than they look, and being dead probably didn't change that. Devour the mind of one, and try to turn them on eachother. Hopefully it will weaken or kill the one that I dont control.

((that guy waaay too strong and there was nothing I could have done. Escaping or fghting, both would have gotten me killed no mather what because of the area spell.))

((Holy heck. 20 Essence. I was expecting a lot, but not this much ! Seems like the Banera was reaallly strong.))

Claim the essence, then Transform : ((if I counted right, this should be enough for Skee to reach stage 2 right away))

Spoiler: 'Stage 2, here we go' (click to show/hide)

Name : /
Species : /
Appearance : Skee's chitinous exoskeleton has grown into sturdy plates and fused with the head, making him look like a sort of miniature trilobite. His tail has grown longer, and the stinger sharper.
HP or MP increase : HP and MP
Attributes increased : INT, twice.
Traits gained :
Internal ducts - Skee grows ducts in host's body, allowing him to send poison or serum anywhere in his hosts' body. This can be used to imbue the hosts' claws or teeth with Skee's own paralytic posion for example, thus allowing him to indirectly inject it to his enemies.
Thoughtwalker - Skee can peer into his host's mind, allowing him to access its memories and knowledge to some extent. This can be used to perfectly imitate the host's usual personality, for example.
Bioengineer - Skee can manipulate his host's body, causing it to grow new organs, tissues and limbs over time, given sufficient nutrition. This can also be used to reinforce already existing organs, or to move them, or even repair internal damage.
Biobond - After staying in the same host for a while, Skee gets used to it and becomes much more efficient overall. Basically, the longer Skee stays in the same host, the stronger they both become.

Skills gained :
Bolstering Serum - Skee produces a serum which greatly boosts his host's strength, reaction speed, and dexterity for a short amount of time. Multiple injections will amplify the effect, but injecting too much serum can cause great damage to the host's body.
Regenerative Serum - Skee produces a serum which greatly boosts his host's natural regenerative capabilities, allowing it to quickly heal wounds or mend broken bones while also greatly reducing fatigue.
Mind Crusher - Skee unleashes a brutal mental attack which can cause disorientation, confusion, loss of consciousness or outright madness. Can also be used for mind control to a limited extent.
Brain Theft - Skee taps into his host's brainpower, temporarily increasing his own. The smarter the host is, the better this works, but it will never result in negative results, even if the host is dumber than its feet, because Skee is essentially using the host's brain as an auxilliary brain for himself.

Then, make your host say : "Against all odds, we've managed to defeat this fearsome beast through teamwork. Even though we lost several brothers tonight, this goes to show that if we stand united, nothing will be able to stop us. Now if just five of us were able to defeat a Banera, imagine what all Makralians would be able to do if they worked together. If any of you weren't convinced that reuniting all the packs was a good idea, I'm sure they've changed their mind now."

Before leaving, cut off the bladed part of the Banera's tail, then skin it and take its pelt. If you can't carry these alone, ask the other Makralians for help. With these, you should be able to craft something interesting later, such as a weapon for your host and possibly even armor. Have your host wear the Banera's head on his own. ((In a similar fashion to this))

Finally, head for the Makralian reunion.

[TricMagic]

I might need to read this now. Bad luck, you fought --- no clue yet honestly. Better luck next time.

[Sarrak]

((Holy heck. 20 Essence. I was expecting a lot, but not this much ! Seems like the Banera was reaallly strong.))

((Stage 4. Which is pure murder against stage 1 (so, impressive victory!), but is a mere 1/36 of Astrosa/Ulkas Essence requirements.))

(Neophytos was a Stage 1 and the wasp was probably a Stage 2 and was still an one sided battle, even with more monsters on my side...)

[Sarrak]

(Neophytos was a Stage 1 and the wasp was probably a Stage 2 and was still an one sided battle, even with more monsters on my side...)

I think Tri-Surger was stage 3. Not entirely sure, but it had -17 HP at the end, which, considering all elemental MP attacks it was throwing around... Not very probable (he needed to take two HP advances to stay alive). You were close to killing it, but still, no sane stage 2 would try to kill entire camp of weaker monsters. Not enough power

[Puppyguard]

Go'Von
Ambush a small hunting party for snacks.

[Nakéen]

((It's a bit weird though. Neophytos odds of winning were far higher than Skee's. A single attack from the Banera would have been enough to one-hit-kill Skee and his Host.))

[randomgenericusername]

((Maybe because it was able to ignore and shrug off my strongest and most reliable way of attacking. I hope Viridikion has enough luck to at least get to Stage 3 or maybe even 4.))

[Hawk132]

"... Let's wait for a short while, Veras. I do not want to endanger the villagers unnecessarily. One of my effects lessens fatigue and dulls pain. If we're lucky, the kid'll wake up soon. But if he doesn't show any signs of waking up, use it."

Let's wait for a bit. If Prias doesn't wake up, use Veras' tool.

[ironsnake345]

Well, I'm getting the short corner of this triangle.
Vel and the specter whose name I CANNOT remember are doing a lot better than I am; continue fighting, but focus more on defense; try to last until the others can give me a hand.
