Chinchompa (Hunter)

The Chinchompa is an explosive animal and killing it causes the explosion to occur, possibly damaging the aggressing player. It can also be captured with the box trapping hunting technique. After catching a Chinchompa the hunter obtains a Grey chinchompa, which is part of a class of explosive, multi-target ranged weapons. Capturing the Chinchompa leaves the explosive charge in the Grey Chinchompa and the explosion will now occur when it is used as a ranged weapon.

Box trapping a Chinchompa requires a hunter level of 53 and each caught animal gives 198 experience. A more advanced relative is the Carnivorous Chinchompa which requires a higher Hunter level, and yields a Red Chinchompa; a better explosive ranged weapon.

Training with red chinchompas in areas with lots of monsters is a very fast way to earn Ranged experience, due to their explosion damage.

With the new introduction of the 2nd batch of Summoning familiars, the (grey) chinchompa is now a secondary ingredient for the Giant chinchompa.
