Story behind your favorite monster on Maple?
About 5 or 6 years ago when i first started playing, I used to grind forever in the Henesys Training Ground scared to travel around.
One day I finally had the courage to travel out, and I went east into the forest region. I walked for a couple seconds and went to war with a blue mushroom and killed it.
It gave me the "Super Hero" feeling you get when you first start playing a game and you think "This game is nothing to me, I'm just too sweet."
Feeling invincible I kept moving, but then came my worst nightmare "The Indestructible Iron Pig." It caught me off gaurd and killed me with one bump, because I didn't use potion from the war with the Blue Mushroom. I got mad and jumped up out of my chair pointing at the screen telling the pig "I'm comming back for you!"
So I went back.
This time I caught the pig with his back turned sitting still.>>> I was a warrior so you should know what went horribly wrong.
I took the chance and used Power Strike and got a big Miss. The pig turned in my direction looking at my character like "did you just try to sneak me," thinking that it got lucky, I tried to attack again and missed.
Mr. Indestructible Pig became very angry and charged after me so I ran as fast as I could. It bumped me taking away half of my health, so I jumped on the higher platform underestimating the pigs abilities. Thinking about RL, I thought -A pig in an iron suit would never be able to jump. I don't think I have ever seen one jump anyways-
It ran right past the platform the first time, so I took my hands off the keyboard and relaxed for a moment. I thought I had outsmarted the stupid pig but he turned around and came charging back and hopped up at my feet and killed me. I went crazy in my house for about an hour joking that pig like "Why don't you go turn into bacon." Watching it hop over and over at my characters grave it soon gained my respect.

[quote=Dalsia]I have a similar story to the thread starter's, except mine involves the wild and fire boars that used to be at the map leading to the Perion Dungeon area. I was only about level 32 at the time, and being a cleric I didn't have the best attacks. I got owned by those boars, and I swore I'd come back some day and kill them all. So, ever since I hit level 40 back in the August of 2005, I've been going back (even at level 143 before they changed the maps with Big Bang) to kill them.
Good stuff, man.[/quote]
lol its the same with me if I see an iron pig, I make it my duty to destroy it
Well, when I was a noob, I thought that the thief job advancement place was in Sleepywoods.
So, y'know, I tried making it past the first map to Sleepywoods, but nope.
A zombie mushroom killed me in one hit.
I hate them so much.
Anego, because that's all I trained at from 120 and onward.
Snails, the sound that it makes when you kill it...
