Overview
Babbage is a Giant Monster for the Clockwork.
Babbage can be found in the northern area of Boomtown and appears as an ambush during the Synapse Task Force.
According to the City of Heroes Giant Monster Guide, Babbage appears in Boomtown every 4 to 6 hours. This guide was written before Issue 8, which expressly increased the spawn rate. The current rate is unknown, but is definitely greater than the listed rate.
Babbage can be spawned in other zones from the ambush during the Synapse Task Force by using various powers such as the Ouroboros Portal or the Pocket D VIP Pass and then traveling to the zone where the players might want to spawn it. However, not all zones will allow Babbage to be spawned.

This highly accurate discharge deals Moderate damage over time, drains a lot of Endurance from the targets and renders them unable to recover Endurance for quite a while.
