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.

Firespirit

#010 | Elemental

These Frizz spell elementals are best beaten with spells or abilities, as weapons will often pass right through them.

Spirit

#011 | Zombie

Formless phantasms who are hard to get a hold of, but are easily eradicated with a fire-based offensive.

Mean spirit

#042 | Zombie

These soul-stealing minions of evil may be menacing, but their low defence lets them down.
