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.

Chimaera

#059 | Bird

Beastly, burning-breathed birds who are almost impervious to fire, but are taken aback by ice attacks.

Their wings are a valued commodity, and shopkeepers are regularly singed to a cinder in search of fresh stock.

Haunts: Tywll Cave; Slurry Coast

Hocus chimaera

#076 | Bird

Blazing-breathed mountain birds of the chimaera family who are tough against fire, and may lay some good eggstras when licked.

Their sepia tone puts people in a misty-eyed mind of yesteryear, but they themselves are young, dump, and full of fun.

Haunts: Heights of Loneliness; Bloomingdale

Cosmic chimaera

#210 | Bird

These captains of the chimaera clan show their extreme enmity with blazing breath, and their exemplary amity with Multiheal.

They have a rather high opinion of themselves, and those they meet are unlikely to merit more than a momentary glance.

Haunts: Grotto

Items Dropped: Brighten rock (12.5%); Lucida shard (0.78%)
