Named rare monsters and the Golden Invasion

Rare monsters: now and then, on a hunting map with heroes, the rare version of one of that map's monsters comes out of a portal. It is bigger, glows, has a rune circle turning on the ground and its own name, like the Gray Alpha Wolf. Everyone on the map gets the notice, and the rare shows on the minimap (or a mark on its edge points the way).

On the free maps a rare appears every 30 to 60 minutes per map, has 8 times the life of a common monster and flees through its portal if nobody defeats it within 15 minutes. It leaves a Box of Kundun +1, a jewel (Blessing or Soul), a rare item of the map's level and Zen, on top of the normal drop.

The VIP maps (Gardens of Selene, Golden Citadel and Aureate Sanctuary) have the best ones: they appear about every 2 hours, are stronger and leave an excellent item with 2 options, 2 Boxes of Kundun +1, 3 jewels and more Zen.

Golden Invasion: every 4 hours (9 PM, 1 AM, 5 AM, 9 AM, 1 PM and 5 PM, Brasília time) golden monsters invade 4 maps, one from each level band (1–50, 50–150, 150–300 and 300–450). The warning comes 3 minutes before with the maps. Each map gets 10 golden monsters in one area and the Golden Chief, bigger and with a golden aura.

Every golden monster of the invasion leaves a guaranteed Box of Kundun +1, on top of the usual golden drop. The Golden Chief leaves 3 boxes. The invasion lasts 30 minutes or until all of them fall, and the golden monsters do not respawn. A banner at the top of the screen shows how many are left and the time, and on the invasion map they show on the minimap.

The pictures below were taken in the game itself, on a test server, with a test hero; there the rare and the invasion were brought forward to have time to take them.
