I hear you have encountered these twisting, turning Auraboras out in the hazelands while Trailblazing. For some reason, a few of these creatures have ventured out of the hazelands and into Steamport City. I'd love to study them while we have the chance, so would you mind helping out?
If I had to guess, I'd say the barbel appendages are the most likely part of an Aurabora to remain after combusting. If you could bring me 25 of these, it would help me a great deal.
Differently from other Mimicology Quests, this time the player has to kill 25 specific Auraboras that will appear in Steamport City. Also notice that this sidequest is not used as a prerequisite for normal Mimicology Quests, but is required for the Creeper Study.
