DragonierMan took a moment to look over the listings before pointing to a name. "I'll take the ThunderDragon3. It works with my style," he said.

DragonierMan stepped through a portal, walked up to the bounty clerk desk, and placed his bounty sheet on the table. Five dragon heads stamped on the bill. "We have slain a quintet of dangerous ThunderDragons. They were worthy foes, who gave a good showing, and fought like real dragons." He paused in reflection and remembrance to fallen kin.

The Wrangler tipped his badly cropped hat and produced a fresh print out, letting it settle on the counter between them.
"More huntin'? Right you are, pardner! Take a lookee at these ones and see if any don't fit yer fancy!"

FlashlitFlashlit (Flashy)

This virus is only encountered on battle 6 or later. This virus has the ability to fly, and its presence on or near panels does not trigger traps or cause panels to break. It is also more difficult to bury or submerge this virus. The virus is smart enough to counter a long-range attack it can see by teleporting out of the way and attacking. It does not do this at close range, and opts to dodge normally and attack with RingZap instead.

Jelly3Jelly3 (Jelly)

Jelly are floating, jellyfish-like viruses, that seem to simply float nonchalantly, yet are deceptively difficult to combat. Fortunately, their rarity ensures they they never appear before a Battle 6, and there are never more than 2 in a single battle. While their horizontal movement is terrible at best, they can easily adjust their altitude as needed. By default, however, they tend to hover a couple of feet above the ground. The exception to this is when they attack. Jelly attack by launching large waves of water at enemies The attack cycle of Jelly is 2 actions long. It requires one action to charge before firing. If they are stunned or otherwise temporarily disabled, they resume their attack cycle where it was halted once the stun wears off. When they attack, they drop to the ground in order to pump out as much liquid as possible. This allows them to harness the power of certain kinds of terrain to boost their attacks, but it also makes them immobile and vulnerable to ground-based attacks for the duration.

Area: Beach

HP: 320
Attack Damage/Effect: 110 Aqua + Ground Attack + Wide Attack + Sea Terrain Boost 60 + 1 action charge
Attack Accuracy: A

Duration: Once
Element: Aqua
Trader Rank: B (Rare)

ForestDragon3ForestDragon3 (ForestDragon)

This high tier virus is only encountered after battle 5. A PotDragon's pot is stationary during battle, as it remains above the panel the virus appeared on until battle is over or the virus is deleted, and will not fall even if the panel below it should be destroyed. PotDragons have two main attacks, each geared towards either ground or aerial targets. When executed, the pot tilts or falls over, and the dragon charges at the enemy before looping back and returning to the pot. When threatened, they will duck into the pot, which is both indestructible and capable of shielding them from all damage and effects except those that manage to fly into the mouth of the pot. Even Beam Attacks and Blast damage won't leave a mark.
