Welcome to Sunbreak, hunter! The new expansion brings a host of fascinating endemic creatures that can give you a real edge in combat or exploration. Let's dive into what's new and how you can use them to your advantage.

Here's a quick look at the new endemic life you'll encounter:

• Morphed Wirebugs: Two new types that boost your mounted combat and Wirebug recovery.
• Marionette Spider: Lets you control monsters by using their silk.
• Starburst Bug: Detonates on contact with monsters, creating a small explosion.
• Spearsquid: A school of squid that attacks large monsters entering their waters.
• Slicercrab: An aggressive hermit crab that defends its territory.
• Thornytoad: A toad with an elastic tongue that releases gastric acid.

Morphed Wirebugs

These are special Wirebugs that offer unique benefits. The Ruby Wirebug enhances your damage with Mounted Punishers, while the Gold Wirebug causes Wyvern Riding attacks to drop more materials. Having both active simultaneously makes initiating Wyvern Riding easier and boosts your Wirebug Gauge recovery speed!

Marionette Spider

These small, blue-haired spiders with orange patterns are your new best friends for monster manipulation. When you pick one up, you can use its silk via the action bar to take control of a monster. Once the silk is attached, you can tug it to send the monster flying in any direction, similar to how you'd slam a monster into a wall during a mount.

Starburst Bug

Found in star-shaped clusters, often clinging to walls, these beetles have hard shells covered in a dust that reacts to external stimuli. When a monster gets too close, the dust detonates, causing a small explosion that can damage the monster. The beetle itself is protected by its shell and will simply move on after the blast.

Spearsquid

These sharp, pointed squid inhabit the waters around the Jungle. While they look intimidating, they're not aggressive unless a large monster intrudes on their territory. When a large monster approaches, an entire school of Spearsquid will attack in tandem.

Slicercrab

A type of hermit crab found in the Jungle, these creatures prefer damp, dark places due to their poor eyesight. They have a beautiful purple crystal shell but are surprisingly aggressive towards anything that invades their personal space. Their limited vision means they typically only notice large creatures like monsters.

Thornytoad

These small amphibians are found in the swampy forests of the Citadel. They possess elastic tongues capable of latching onto other creatures. Known for their ferocious nature, they'll attempt to devour anything they can reach. Once attached to a monster, they release a gastric acid that can make even large monsters recoil.
