"A heavenly fish who had once enjoyed the life of immortality, was banished into the world of MapleStory for eating up his friend simply because he was famished. Thrown into The Cave of Pianus, he is all alone, by himself, and would occasionally project an image of himself to relieve his loneliness."

Papulatus
The Papulatus, and related forms, are all located in the last map of Ludibrium's dungeon, The Clock Tower, called "Ludibrium: Deep Inside of Clock Tower". MapleSEA recently released this description of Papulatus:
"Papulatus Clock Boss is an evil monster who hogs the Time Sphere and likes to steal the power in Ludibrium. With him around in the Clock Tower, Ludibrium will never enjoy the peace and harmony they once had."
- Papulatus is a monster from the Maple World's parallel dimension. It entered through a crack in the dimension caused by Ludibrium's failing power supply, the Time Sphere, with several other monsters. The Time Sphere is made by mixing Tachions and Mysterious Powder, which is Papulatus' energy source as well. Papulatus contaminates these Tachions, draining the Time Sphere's power. Some of the other monsters that followed Papulatus through the Crack are carrying pieces of it, which are needed to seal the hole. Once the pieces have been acquired from these monsters, namely Gigantic Spirit Viking and Grim Phantom Watch, the crack can be repaired, causing Papulatus' escape route to be blocked and driving it into the open. Once this occurs, players can finally confront the monster that is disturbing the Maple World and end its leeching. However, once Papulatus has been defeated, there is still one last task: Eliminating the evil force that still remains in the contaminated Tachions. The only thing that can destroy such a dark aura is the fires of El Nath's volcanoes, so the Dark Tachions must be taken there. This force is what has caused the normally innocent toys of Ludibrium to transform into monsters. After all this, Ludus Lake will finally be able to return to normal.
Approach Mr. Bouffon at Path of Time in Ludibrium. He will let you know how to get to Papulatus Clock Boss. Papulatus attack with lightning bolts, a blast of flame and by chances turn players HP and MP to 1. It can also dispel everyone on the map, causing deadly situations for low hp classes. Upon completing Mr. Bouffon's quest, a player can obtain the Ludibrium cape as proof they have slain Papulatus.

Zakum
Zakum is located in the Dead Mines of El Nath, one of the main dungeons. Highly coveted by those above Level 100 for the exclusive Zakum Helmet. In a 4th Job Advancement quest, it tells the story of Zakum's rise.
Zakum was a spirit sealed in a tree deep in the mines of El Nath's volcano. A mining town that once existed nearby eventually discovered this tree. At the time, it had no malevolent notions, but the greed of the miners corrupted it. As the spirit was corrupted, it grew smarter, and finally became capable of controlling the town's populace. It forced them to build an enormous statue in tribute to it. The now evil spirit of Zakum possessed the statue, subjugated all the humans and eventually killed everyone in the town. Zakum now rests deep in the lava caves, waiting for powerful players to challenge his might.

Horntail
Horntail is a powerful boss in the game. It drops a powerful necklace called the Horntail Necklace, which adds massive amounts to every stat. Located deep in Leafre, in the Cave of Life. Several Leafre quests reveal what has occurred to bring Horntail into battle.
The forest of Leafre is protected by the Nine Spirits dragon, a kind and gentle creature. The Nine Spirits Dragon has set up a barrier which shields the forest from evil. Horntail, a power hungry dragon, began to rebel against the Nine Spirits rule, and started uniting the evil dragons. This group of evil dragons began their assault on the town, almost entirely wiping out the Dragon Squad, a team of human fighters sent to defeat Horntail. This was a horribly disgraceful action coming from a Dragon. During this battle, Horntail gravely injured the old Nine Spirits, and took the egg of the Nine Spirits Dragon. He then hid out deep in the Cave of Life to recover his strength. Horntail's minions still overtook the Dragon Forest in Leafre. His evil power is so great that it has even gained the power to corrupt the other monsters, turning them pitch black. Now, the strongest players must band together to defeat this cruel dragon, save the Nine Spirits Dragon Egg, and protect Leafre once and for all.

Von Leon
Von Leon was once the king of an El Nathian village, and ruled alongside his wife Ifia. A century ago, Ifia was murdered, and he found a Cygnus Knight crest on her body, making him believe they murdered her. With this, he seeked revenge, and joined the Black Mage, who set up the murder to make it look like the Cygnus Knights did it. When the Black Mage was sealed, Von Leon cast a spell to kill everyone in his village and to conceal his cancel until the Black Mage's return. Most of the villagers, now ghosts, could not rest in peace due to Von Leon turning into a villain, and decided it was time for his demise. His dead wife, Ifia, tries to talk to Von Leon but he does not see her because he became too much of a villain.

Cygnus
In the future, Cygnus became interested in the World Tree, and decided to search for it. When she found it, she fell into one of the Black Mage's traps. He corrupted Cygnus and her knights, leading to Ereve descending to Victoria Island due to it not being held up by Cygnus's magic. Empress Cygnus leads her knights on an attack on the rest of the Maple World. However, according to Shinsoo in the present, this future is not real and is instead one of the Black Mage's dreams.

Magnus
Magnus is yet another one of the Black Mage's commanders. He has been exiled from Grandis for a century due to abusing his powers. Assisting Darmoor, the Transcendence of Life in Grandis, he weakened Heliseum in exchange for power and leading Specters toward it. The former Kaiser sacrificed himself to destroy Magnus's army, and severely weaken Magnus. However, Darmoor's power helped Magnus recover, eventually reaching his full power again and stealing the former Kaiser's sword, granting him even more power. Now it is up to the current Kaiser, Angelic Buster, and the Maple World to stop him once and for all.

Root Abyss
When Damian sealed up Alicia the World Tree in Root Abyss, he left behind four seal guardians to prevent Alicia from escaping and regaining her abilities by contaminating the Root Abyss with darkness. It is up to Maple World to rescue Alicia from these bosses.
Von Bon
- The first of the four seal guardians is Von Bon, the time magician. His trademark attack involves summoning cracks in time, which are large clocks that appear in random spots on the field. The affect on the timer depends on the color of the clock Von Bon is standing on. For each white clock he stands on, the timer decreases by 7 seconds. For each black clock he stands on, the timer increases by 7 seconds. The timer will stay the same if he stands on both at once, however. Once his health is low enough, he stops using these clocks. He can also use a skill that sends you to a spot you were previously standing or located at. This attack can be dangerous depending on the direction his attacks go.
- He has several deadly attacks. One of them involves whacking you with his staff up close. This attack isn't as dangerous, however. Another attack involves firing a white orb from his staff, which takes away a high % of your HP, even killing some people. This can be avoided by ducking (not possible for jobs such as Mechanics) or jumping over it. Another involves him jumping into the air and pounding the ground, which takes away a higher % of your HP. This can be simply avoided by jumping. His last attack involves him teleporting to a random spot and creating a tornado around him which causes super knockback and deals a fixed % of your HP, though not as much. Melee classes will have a hard time with this attack, since they most likely won't be able to get close enough to attack him.
