I thought I'd try my hand at a coliseum challenge, since folks seem to like those and it helps to incentivize Coliseum grinding between festivals. I've been thinking about this challenge ever since I got two Webwing fams in one fight, so without further ado, here it is!

Start in any venue. You can only do one venue at a time, but it doesn't matter the order in which you do them. Once you complete a venue, move on to another. You can time yourself if you like, to see which venue is completed the fastest.
The challenge: [b]collect two of any one familiar [/b] (two Ruby Webwings, two Psywurms, etc). It doesn't have the be the first one you see, just two of the same one. Similar familiars (i.e. Poisonous Toridae and Venomous Toridae) do not count as the same familiar.
You can take a break and come back later, but don't lose track of which familiars you've found, otherwise you might find a second one without knowing it!
You'll probably want to keep track of all the familiars dropped for this reason. You can also keep track of eggs, battle stones, and other cool things you find!
Share your Ark (your list of familiars) here, and ping me when it's done so I can give you a prize! Everyone's ark will probably be different; that's part of what makes this challenge interesting. Do try to keep each post to three or fewer venues; we don't want to stretch out the forum pages too much.
[b]HARDMODE:[/b] collect two of EVERY familiar possible from a venue (excluding bosses).
