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.

Stone golem

#078 | Material

They protect their pals with their bulky bodies, and brush off bog-standard blows with ease. Hit them hard or not at all.

The rock blocks of a ruined temple absorbed an evil aura and assembled to form the first stone golem.

Gold golem

#096 | Material

Heavyweights who save up their strength, then hit hard. Beat them, though, and you just might break the bank.

Some say that the storied city of gold said to stand somewhere in the Djust Desert is only a gold golem seen through a heat haze.

Golem

#161 | Material

Though weak against wind, these stony souls will weather a storm of blows before unleashing a cataclysmic critical attack.

If you ask them which monster has the most mates, they won't hesitate to suggest their own big-headed, bricky selves.
