I can not post in Entropian Society but Tantardions have been around at least 2 1/2 years. Slow but deadly to a noobie. The trick is to shoot then run away then shoot again LOL
I used to ask Bunny to heal me while I tried shooting these things near Atlas Haven. We spent a lot of time running away from them, being chased and zapped by their long range attacks. Nasty beasties, I don't think they liked being shot at with Jester rifles at all. :)
Hehe sounds like sweet memories for you ;) I have never seen them ingame actually, but I have seen Tantardion skinned clothing, which is NEAT! 8)
I've seen them, they're ugly and slow and they do take a while to kill if you're new/noob. And if you had a nice sized house and killed one and were able to stuff it, you could make a nice coffee table. . .
