Each monster has a value given for each of the above attributes. A higher number in a given attribute represents a weakness towards that attribute. A lower number represents strength and resistance towards that attribute. Neutral is defined by the value of 100. Values above 100 indicate weakness while values below 100 indicate strength. A value of zero (0) indicates immunity to that attribute.

For example, if a monster has Fire at 75 and Ice at 150, it would only take 75% damage from fire based attacks, but 150% damage from ice based attacks.

The numbers for the Status Attributes indicate how likely that particular status is to affect the monster when cast upon it. So you are not very likely to put a monster to sleep that has the Sleep status attribute at 25.

Finally, the percentages next to the item drops represent the percentage chance you have of acquiring that item at the end of a battle.

Legacy bosses are bosses that were found in previous Dragon Quest and Dragon Warrior games. Dragon Quest 9's post-game content allows you a chance to fight these bosses and gain some very powerful and interesting items. They are also the only place where you can get the coloured orb items, that are required to create some of the most powerful equipment through alchemy.

Legacy bosses have a neat aspect in that everytime you beat them, you have a choice to level them up or leave them at the current level that they are. The first time you fight them they start at level 1, and can go up to level 99. As they level up, they not only get stronger, but their item and equipment can change, and also the rates at which they drop.
