Hollow Jaakcat

Description

The Hollow Jaakcat is a creature with an appearance resembling a combination of a cat and rabbit. It has dark indigo fur with a light grey chest, belly, and muzzle, along with bright blue stripes and patterns that occasionally glow at night. It has bright blue eyes with slit black pupils and four long curved ears, which move direction as it listens intently to its surroundings.

From a distance, the Hollow Jaakcat may be mistaken for a Midnight Jaakcat, due to both of them being dark in coloration. However, the Hollow Jaakcat can be distinguished by its bright blue patterns, especially those on the tip of its ears and tail.

Location

Hollow Jaakcats are found all across the Royal Highlands, and are exclusive to the region. They most commonly spawn in The Standing Cliffs, Amber Lake, Kestra River, Enfield Shores, Lonely Glen, Royal Hunting Grounds, and close to Points of Interest such as House of Nightshade and Enfield Manor.

Behavior

When left alone, Hollow Jaakcats can be seen idling by pacing around. They'll often stop to scratch themselves with their back foot or stand on their hind legs to read their surroundings. When doing so, a Jaakcat will perk up its four ears and twist them in different directions while looking around the area.

When a player comes within a semi-close radius, the Hollow Jaakcat may stand up straight on its two back legs and look around for a possible threat. They may also take this stance after fleeing, and will resume idle behaviors when the player threat has passed.

The Hollow Jaakcat has similar fleeing behavior to the Azure Chapaa. If a player comes too close within range, hits the Hollow Jaakcat with an arrow, or fires an arrow and misses, the Hollow Jaakcat will instantly duplicate itself into three other identical clones, which will all flee very quickly by leaping similarly to a rabbit in the opposite direction of the arrow's source. However, if the player hits the Hollow Jaakcat with a Dispel Arrow before being noticed, this can disable the cloning ability and stun the creature for a short amount of time.

If the player hits one of the clones with an arrow, the affected clone will disappear in a puff of smoke. However, if one of the clones or the original Hollow Jaakcat is hit with a Dispel Arrow, all of the clones will disappear and the Hollow Jaakcat will become stunned for a short amount of time.

A few seconds after a threat has passed, the Hollow Jaakcat's clones will eventually disappear and it will return to an idle state, but retain any damage taken from previous hits.

The Hollow Jaakcat has a health pool of (Unknown) and takes 5 hits with Fine Arrows or Dispel Arrows to be felled.

Masked Variants

Like the Royal Sernuk, many Flow-Aspected Jaakcats can be found within the Royal Highlands, donning masks imbued with elemental flow essence. These masks give the creature certain abilities that make hunting them more challenging.

All masked creatures will hold some form of flow-aspected shield around them, varying on placement depending on the element. These shields, if hit with an arrow, will stun the player and make bows unusable for a few seconds, unless the player is using a Dispel Arrow.

If the player hits the shield, it will absorb the first hit, causing no damage to the creature, but dropping the shield. If the player hits around the shield before the creature notices, the masked creature will be stunned for a few seconds.

Spiritfest

During the span of the Spiritfest holiday, Jaakcats can be found in a limited-time Ghastly variation. Ghastly Jaakcats will don a glowing pumpkin on their head, with a ragged cloth draped over their backs. These variants don't have any unique skills different from their standard forms, but will have a chance to drop Tattered Cloth when felled.

Ghastly Jaakcats can also appear in Amber-Encased and Masked forms. These Jaakcats will have the same traits and abilities of the standard masked variations.
