A Newtroost is a hybrid of a newt and a rooster. Players can create newtroosts in Creature Creation, in the basement dungeon of the Tower of Life building once they complete the Tower of Life quest.

A newtroost is created by using an Eye of newt and a Feather on the newtroost altar of life in the dungeon and then activating the altar (found in the north-east part of the basement). The Homunculus in the dungeon then creates the monster, which appears near the altar and will attack the player. Only white feathers will work, as the altar will not accept coloured feathers. As it always drops eyes of newt and feathers are cheap and stackable, players can kill them indefinitely if they wish to.
