Bestiary

[fox_the_kitsune]

I have an idea. Since we have some monsters around, a bestiary might be a good thing to have. But... that's a lot of information for one person to compile. So... I'm posting a list of the monster we've seen already. I'll fill any details I learn myself. You guys can drop me a line to let me know if I should add something, okay? Monsters sighted, things learned about monsters, let me know.

I know it's possible they'll have a lot of the same vulnerablities and such that they did in the games, but even that varied from game to game. So I think we're better off relying on our own observations.

Edit: Just a small note about how I'm organizing this. I'm putting the basic enemy type in bold (Flan, Bomb, etc.) and will list subspecies underneath. If that's a 'Duh' thing, tell me so. Shut up, Roxas.

Edit the Second: Please also note whether a monster is hostile or neutral.

Edit the third: Added links to Wiki references on the monsters. I think it'll help. Yes, I did link the FF12 info on a lot of them. This is because it seems most accurate. It's for the image, not the game data. Also corrected my naming of the synth materials. I know it wouldn't be that hard to tell which is which but... Meh.
