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.

Cureslime

#195 | Slime

Kind-hearted slimes who care more about curing than killing. Commonly called on by the similarly coloured lethal armour.

They'd love to help travellers with healing spells too, but they're terrified of being told off by uptight king slimes.

King cureslime

#206 | Slime

They may look like mere support slimes, but as well as Fullheal and Omniheal, they can put their weight behind their big body blows.

Their emerald insides are stuffed with the stuff spells are made of, and any magic they cast is built to last.
