Once combat progresses to a certain point, it will enter Duckstruction Mode, becoming more aggressive, generating a Shield for itself, and summoning floating Stamping Devices to harass you.

Located at Lempo Isle

Radiant Moonfly

The moon's ancient power has seeped into these illusory wings, and the butterfly-shaped monster now dances lightly in the moonlight.
These monsters can wield their innate powers to capture their enemies in a Radiant Cocoon. Under specific conditions, they can even change their own Elemental Type. Once captured, both the amount of DMG taken and the strength of healing received will be affected. However, you can escape from a Radiant Cocoon by being healed to your Max HP, granting you the Disentangled effect, which boosts your abilities for a short period of time.
Located at Lempo Isle

Wilderness Ghouls

"Wilderness Hunter" and "Wilderness Exile"
Ghouls corrupted by the taint of the Abyss, doomed to stalk the frozen wilderness for all eternity.
Those who march beneath the banner of the Wild Hunt can only be truly defeated by reducing their Max HP to zero.

Gleaming Charge: Frostnight Scion, Tangled Vines: Frostnight Scion, Blazing Brilliance: Frostnight Scion, and Icy Crystal: Frostnight Scion
An elemental lifeform that has gained an extremely high elemental affinity over long years of exposure to the moonlight.
In battle, Frostnight Scions can convert themselves to enter a Gloomveiled state. While in this state, Frostnight Scions become more powerful. Deal DMG to Frostnight Scions using elemental attacks of the same elemental type as them or by using Lunar Reactions to illuminate them and force them to leave their Gloomveiled state.

Radiant Beasts

Radiant Antelope, Radiant Bladehorn, and Radiant Lunapod
Monsters that have undergone a unique evolution due to age-long immersion in the ancient moon's power.
These monsters can wield their innate powers to capture their enemies in a Radiant Cocoon. Once captured, both the amount of DMG taken and the strength of healing received will be affected. However, you can escape from a Radiant Cocoon by being healed to your Max HP, granting you the Disentangled effect which boosts your abilities for a short period of time.

Oprichniki Fireblade Shock Trooper, Oprichniki Hailstorm Cannoneer, Oprichniki Thunderblitz Gvardiya, Oprichniki Line Trooper, Oprichniki Support Trooper, Oprichniki Grenadier, Oprichniki Vanguard, Oprichniki Medic, and Oprichniki Bombardier
