Purgovent

Purgovents are floating Piscinoid enemies in Xenoblade Chronicles X that are native to Mira. They are large floating fish known for their high health pools, which attack with primarily physical attacks with some Ether abilites from their lanterns.

Description
''Giant fish that are covered in adamantine scales reminiscent of armor. Evolution has seen their eyes and teeth recede, giving them no option other than to completely swallow nearby prey. If the meal happens to be poisonous, it will be regurgitated along with the stomach; after a good wash in seawater, the stomach can then be gulped back down.''

''Their illicium and bioluminescence give purgovents a means to communicate amongst themselves. During spawning season, females will secrete special pheromones from their illicium, attracting prospective mates. Once her eggs are fertilized, she abandons them to hatch on their own. Though few survive this process, adult purgovents have almost no natural enemies, and tend to enjoy long lives.''

In combat
Xiphias attack with mainly physical attacks. Much of their strength comes from their tail's Fin Slash, and they also have the ability to Pull fighters towards them to better use their attacks, and use Jam to make the party weaker to physical attacks at range.

In general, purgovents take 25% more damage from Ether and Gravity attacks, and take 50% more damage from Electric attacks.

While in a Skell, Purgovents can be targeted anywhere except the mouth, which acts as its weakest appendage with a hardness of -1.

Variations
Purgovents come in two variations depending on their color.


 * Light Purgovents are brightly colored, though since they only appear at night they appear to take on the blue color of the night. They are found on Lake Ciel in Sylvalum during the nighttime.
 * Dark Purgovents are dark-colored, and can appear at any time of day. They appear in the Vitriol Cesspool in Noctilum and on the coasts of Oblivia.

In general, all Purgovents drop these items:
 * Large Purgovent Liver from the abdomen.
 * Smooth Tail Fin from the tail.
 * Purgovent Jaw Meat from the mouth.
 * from the main body.
 * Smelly Fish Meat from the main body.
