Retired Monstrology Spells

This is a sub-page of Wizard101/Retired Spells.

Some creatures are no longer extractable through monstrology. Sometimes, it's because the enemy can only be fought a limited amount of times (such as enemies for spell quests), other times, the reason remains unknown or there's some other reason. This results in retired or unused descriptions due to this. Retired reason should be assumed to be unknown unless stated otherwise.

To do:
See if we should put every card picture here. There's going to be a lot of them. Also, would a table be better for this?

Arkyn Moonblade#

Description: Master of magic. Master of the Moon. One day, he hopes to prove it really is made of cheese.

Ashen Death Monkey Spider#

Description: Little more than a pile of ashes that settled into a vaguely Monkey Spider shape.

Blackrock Guardian#

Description: In life, it was the guardian of Boris Blackrock, who fell and possessed a golem. So... not a great career fit.

Description: Once content to spend his undead life in the Tower of Peladon, he now spends his time snorkeling in Davey Jones' locker.

Retired Reason: Only can be fought once as the boss for one of Death's spell quests.

Carrion Flower Man#

Description: Its flowers have a taste for living flesh. Best to steer clear.

Retired reason: Only can be fought a limited number of times (the room where this enemy is at doesn't spawn enemies after being completed unless someone with the required quest joins the area)

Charged Echo of Apep#

Description: This echo is nothing fancy. It's pretty much just what Apep thinks he'd be like with electro-zappy powers.

Cold Confusion#

Description: Temperature is a bit confusing to them.

Retired reason: Only can be fought once as a minion.

Conscripted Mander (Tier 2)#

Description: Manders live to serve. Usually that doesn't mean fighting in jousting tournaments... But sometimes it does! (Note: these minions do not appear in the Tier 1 version of this instance)

Conscripted Mander (Tier 3)#

Description: Life's not easy where you're in the service of a corrupt knight - you go from polishing armor to fighting for your life!

Conscripted Mander (Tier 4)#

Description: What kind of vile Knight sends his lowly squires out to fight for him? This poor Mander can tell you...

Conscripted Mander (Tier 5)#

Description: The squire job sounded easy - polishing armor, grooming horses. Little did he know Sir Steffan uses squires for arena fodder!

Death Monkey Spider#

Description: It's not an undead Monkey Spider. It's a Monkey Spider that's been partially consumed by Death stuff.

False Echo of Apep#

Description: Basically, Apep's ego. The guy just assumes his reputation is mythic.

Description: Hey, those gentle breezes mean business.

Retired Reason: Same as Fear of Drowning

Fear of Gremlins#

Description: A Sky Captain's worst fear is a gremlin on the wings. Or sails. Gremlins really mess those up.

Fiery Echo of Apep#

Description: Created when Apep channels all his rage and regret into a single being. It's actually very therapeutic.

Frosty Echo of Apep#

Description: A manifestation of Apep's sense of justice. It's usually brutal, but arguably fair.

Ghulture (Death) (Ghulture Nest)#

Description: What is worse, the large sword or the sharp beak?

Retired Reason: Likely because this enemy could be easily confused with the Ghultures that exist outside of this dungeon at Caravan, because they have the same name, despite having different stats.

Ghulture (Myth) (Ghulture Nest)#

Description: It might be the talons that hold the sword that do the most damage.

Retired Reason: Same as above

Description: He wrote his own script. It's a postmodern action rom-com satire of MacDeath with a twist. He's still shopping it around.

MacLife Understudy (Tier 5)#

Description: He'd make a great producer. He's already the one keeping Macdeath going. He just doesn't have the fancy title.
