Blatta

Blattas (Japanese: ブラッタ, Buratta) are cockroach-like creatures in Xenoblade Chronicles X. This species has the highest number of enemies, and tend to get aggressive at night. They can be found in all five regions. Most are weak and small in size, though, making them easy to deal with. In combat, they use physical and electric arts, or a physical counter spike. Only the feather appendage can be destroyed, which may drop a specific material determined by the color variants.

Description[]

"Winged creatures often found behind boulders, inside caves, and in other dark locales where light doesn't reach. As such, their diet consists primarily of leftover scraps and dung scavenged from other animals."

"Blattas are exceptionally social creatures, and have worked out a kind of language in which they can share information on food locations. They've also been known to gang up and attack smaller creatures, though even larger ones can be at risk if the blattas get into a frenzy."

Color Variants[]

Blattas fall into five color variants:

Black blattas are grayish-brown in coloration. They can drop Black Blatta Wings.
Green blattas are greenish black in coloration. They can drop Green Blatta Wings.
Red blattas are dark red in coloration. They can drop Red Blatta Wings.
Golden blattas have yellow coloration. They can drop Golden Blatta Wings. All blattas of this coloration are Tyrants, and two can be found in each region, which drop a material that can be sold for a high amount and varies per region.
Silver blattas are white in coloration. They can drop Silver Blatta Wings.
