===Notes:===
:*Timed Spawn every 4 hours by the pool at (H-10).
:*Spams Call of the Moon five times in a row, causing intimidation extremely often. Does not intimidate pets though.
::*Uses Asuran Claws after Call of the Moon squence, hitting for around 500+ damage on a Ninja tank
:*Can use Nox Blast.
:*Seems to have extremely fast hate decay.
:*Depending on moon phase, the nearby Lobisons will not link. If the Lobison is standing up on 2 legs, it will link.
:*Highly recommend a pld/war tank, as it attacks very quickly, rarely misses, can't be slowed or paralyzed, counters, etc. PLD/NIN had incredible difficulty keeping shadows up, and shadows couldn't block Asuran Claws. PLD/WAR with good Def gear and Phalanx 2 shouldn't take 50 damage per hit.
:**PLD/BLU May be more effective. coupled with a MP/Stat Boosts, Cocoon offers the twice DEF bonus as Defender without the loss to attack.
:*Can be duoed by a pld/nin and rdm. Take extreme care to get it away from possible linking Lobisons. Link range is fairly large.
:*As with all Gnoles, it is recommended to fight during a smaller moon phase.
:*He has 25~% magic defense bonus.
:*Very resistant to Slow and Paralyze. Also resistant to Gravity, even resisted elemental seal gravity.
:*Has little to no resistance to Thunder based spells

==Historical Background==
The Rougarou (alternately spelled as Roux-Ga-Roux, Rugaroo, or Rugaru), is a legendary creature in Laurentian French communities linked to European notions of the werewolf. The creature, spelled as a Rugaru, has been associated with Native American legends with some dispute. The folklore stories vary from mild bigfoot (sasquatch) creatures to cannibal-like Native American wendigos.
