Appearances[edit]
- A Spined Shellbeast may appear in a random zone for a few days; this Shellbeast will actually head towards a Protection Objective within the zone it is encountered and moves into another adjacent zone if not defeated or captured.
- Since Expansion II, Spined Shellbeasts may appear in Domain of Valor, Misty Maze, and Shadow Thicket (all of which only appears in Feral Strange Territory), where they behave like the Wild Beasts in Hunting Zones would.
