===Notes:===
:*Possible Notorious Monster encountered during a Liquidation Team maze, with Beast Rune applied.
:*Must have the Lost and Found rune set in your Maze Tabula for item to be eligible to appear in the Hoardbox.
:*Has fairly high accuracy and attack speed.
:*Hits for 300-400 on most jobs and for 50-250 on a Paladin.
:*Used normal Dhalmel TP moves. Stomping hit our NIN tank for 900+.
:*Stomping may additionally cause a stun effect, possibly a result of including Maze Rune 039 (Altered Aggression).
:*Highly resistant to Silence, Gravity.
:*Perhaps immune to Sleep, Repose, Bind.
:*Blind, Paralyze and Slow appeared to stick pretty easily.
:*Beast Killer gear seemed especially potent.
:*Healers should focus on erasing Cold Stare and casting Silena quickly while keeping high Regen on at all times.
:*May stall the end of the fight due to Healing Breeze, but it didn't really seem to be regaining more than we were doing in between each use. Time didn't seem to be an issue. 
:*With Might and Supreme Might runes, NM can heal upto 4000 HP with Healing Breeze, BLM75/WHM37 was not able to stun it. 
:** Done several runs without Might or Supreme Might runes and NM still uses Healing Breeze for up to 4k (Benwalls, Ragnarok)
:**Recommend using a PLD/NIN with a Beast Killer shield and not dispelling berserk if you use the might runes and a physical damage setup. DD's were doing very little damage until it berserked.
:*Confirmed to drop Ermines Tail with only Might on top of the required runes(with resonating rune).
:*See Strategies for more info.
== Historical Background ==
In Hindu mythology, Purushamriga is a creature with a human head and a lion’s body. It is described as the Indian Sphinx. Statues are often found outside temples, where it serves to take away the sins of entrants to the temple and to ward off evil from the sacred grounds. It is Sanskrit for “human-beast”.
