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.

Manguini

#103 | Demon

They rake their vicious claws through enemies with glee, and make use of their slim stature to sidestep strikes.

Their chins get longer and longer with age until, when they finally touch the ground, it's time for the manguini to meet its maker.

Bloody manguini

#145 | Demon

Freaky beasts who drain adventurers of their blood and MP, and sometimes flip them out with Fuddle Dance.

When a pink sanguini goes to bed with a belly fully of lovely blood, this is the fab form it will have taken when it wakes.

Boogie manguini

#249 | Demon

Dancing yellow devils who know every step there is -- not just the support steps, but tension-building tactical ones too.

The young ones are nicknamed 'yellow-bellies', but they're not too pleased to have this pointed out by their beastly brethren.
