Notes:
- Spawns on the island at L-11 to M-11 approximately every 12-15 hours, if the Hippogryph on that island are not aggroed, attacked, or killed during that time. Spawned on the South Eastern most island, not the island indicted on map.
- Three copies of the NM spawn at once, and they will all link if any of them are attacked.
- These NMs must be fought and killed together within a short period of time. They will despawn if one of them is killed and the two others aren't killed within around 10 minutes; if one is killed and the party killing the others leaves the island or dies, the other copies of the NM will immediately despawn.
- Susceptible to sleep. Soporific was resisted once and only lasted about 20 seconds. Light Shot seemed to last under 30 seconds as well. A dedicated sleeper for each one would be recommended.
- Item Drops: Mountain Gaiters can drop from each NM, although it is not a 100% drop.
Historical Background
Heliodromos (also spelled Heliodromus) means "sun runner" in Greek. It was one of 7 grades in the cult of Mithra. It was the 6th grade out of 7 (the 2nd highest). It seemed to refer to a runner protected by the Sun. In murals, it was depicted as a man holding a torch running (possibly analogous to the Olympic torch-bearer). Sometimes it is translated as "solar messenger", though "dromos" pertains to running.
