Spawn Conditions	Companions/Summons
Spawns in the area from K-8 to J-9 (the small room at J-9, through the hallway at J-8 and into the larger room at K-8). Timed Spawn randomly of either this NM or the Leech King. There seems to be a minimum respawn time of 1 hour ever since a recent patch lowered the spawn times of various notorious monsters in older areas. During the spawn window either this NM or the other will spawn in their designated area, but not both. Full respawn time is only restarted when one of these NM's are killed. On Wide Scan, Argus appears just before the two Ancient Bats and large list of Leeches. After maintenance, the shared window with Leech King is open immediately and can last up to approximately 12 hours after maintenance ends.	N/A

Notes: Nyzul Isle[edit]

Nyzul Isle: The Armoury Crate it leaves behind contains a ??? Necklace, which may rarely appraise into a Peacock Amulet.

Historical Background[edit]

In Greek mythology, Argus was a giant with 100 eyes. Because of his abundance of eyes, he was considered a great watchman and was employed by the goddess Hera. He was assigned to guard and keep a white cow from Zeus. That cow was Io, a nymph who was sexually involved with Zeus and later turned into a cow as a way to protect Io by Zeus. Zeus dispatched Hermes to slay Argus. He did so by posing as a shepherd and telling boring stories, which put all of Argus' eyes to sleep (whenever Argus slept, he usually kept some eyes open). He then killed the giant. Hera memorialized Argus by putting his eyes on the tail of the peacock, a favorite animal of Hera's, which explains why it drops Peacock Amulet. Argus was also the pet dog from Homer's Odyssey.
