Taisidon Safari hunting

During the Taisidon Safari events, a large number of exotic animals can be hunted across the island. In addition to rare leathers and bones collected from these creatures, many also drop rare items exclusive to the island.

Champion Creatures

Using Champion bait, which can be found from hunting the island creatures, the Darkbox, the Toys From Sand shop and from a Red suede hip pouch embossed with the Fantasy Excursions crest‎‎, an elite version of the creature can be summoned. These elite versions of the standard creature, typically a Veteran or Champion, will present a more difficult challenge to kill. Some suggestions on how to approach these creatures can be read about on the Boss System page.
In 420 (2016), in addition to the loot the Champion would have dropped, there is also a chance to receive a lumpy pouch, which will contain extra gems and coin.

You can STUDY any bait you find for syntax.
WAVE <BAIT TYPE> in the appropriate hunting ground to try luring a champion creature.

Note: As of Taisidon Mystery 454, the potential drops from creatures have changed up significantly. Creatures no longer seem to be associated with a single gem, but may not have access to the full pool of potential drops. Animated items and rats may still be that way, but not fully confirmed. For now, any items shown in the list below are just those that have been confirmed as dropping from a particular creature. Items marked with a * seem like they might have a higher drop rate than other items seen.

In addition to the items listed below, all creatures seem to have a chance of dropping random types of Low-Chance Champion Bait.
