Ptaris was laid at Crèche Y'llek's hatchery. He was the last of his brood in the hatchery, taking longer then expected to hatch. Though most caretakers would have crushed him, the hatchery overseer [[Varsh Ko'kuu]] had begun life in a similar way, and wanted to give the egg as much of a chance as he could. {{ref|Dialogue with [[Varsh Ko'kuu]].}} | Ptaris was laid at Crèche Y'llek's hatchery.

Ptaris | Ptaris can be a surprisingly challenging fight. He is Level 12 and creates a number of [[Ptaris' Mental Image|mental images]] that sap the strength of allies and can potentially cause them to become {{Cond|Atrophied}} if not dealt with quickly. He will generally use {{SAI|Astral Step}} and {{SAI|Shunt Through Space}} to keep his distance from the party, while attacking them from a distance with {{SAI|Vacuum Missile}} and creating more images. | ||
However, Ptaris has no resistances and can be focused down rather quickly if the party has high damage dealers. Melee attacks can counter {{SAI|Shunt Through Space}} by baiting Ptaris into wasting his reaction on an opportunity attack before attacking him themselves. | |||
