Murex

Murex are odd creatures found only within the dimension of Abyssea in Final Fantasy XI. The origin of these creatures is uncertain; however, shortly after the events that caused the crimson sky, these creatures appeared in several areas, quickly replacing local fauna. They hunt at night, but can only detect other beings when they use job abilities or weapon skills. Murex can drop either a special variety of tissue called a sanguinet, or a piece of its spiny body, called a spicule.
