Lag Monster

==Profile==
The Lag Monster is responsible for all things laggy. It used to work for NTL, the server's ISP but it was fired for being late to work every day, despite the fact that it insisted it was always on time. It sometimes appears to be running into a wall repeatedly.{{bossinfo

==Attacks and abilities==
This monster and its drop are a bit of an in-joke with the Nightmist staff. The Lag Monster attacks with High Ping relatively rapidly, although armour does absorb the attack. It has an excessively high amount of health, and normally requires a party of at least 40 crits to take down in reasonable time.

+This monster and its drop are a bit of an in-joke amongst the Nightmist players and staff, playing on the fact that the servers often suffer from latency issues.  The Lag Monster attacks with High Ping relatively rapidly, although armour does absorb the attack.  It has an excessively high amount of health, and normally requires a party of at least 40 crits to take down in reasonable time.
