BEASTIARY
Monsters have grown in numbers in the world of Vaikuntha these past 10 years. They generally stay away from cities and places where the population is high in density, but otherwise they can attack anytime, anywhere. Fiends, monsters and spirits cannot be negotiated with unless mentioned, and seem to be driven by a desire to kill the livings. This list repertories known monsters and where they appear, though new ones may pop up in already discovered locations as the story progresses. When visiting a location in the context of an event or mission, a monster list will be provided and new monster species will be added in the future. |
 ADAMANTOISE ✶ ✶ ✶ ✶ ✶ ✶ ✶ Location:Lake of Ira, Himur Island Drop: 5 000 Gil A large turtle with high defenses and strength, it is very resistant and hard to defeat. It is not very dangerous however for well-prepared Heroes of Light, as it may easily be killed with ice spells. It attacks primarily by creating earthquakes or attacking directly its enemies. |
 APANDA ✶ ✶ ✶ ✶ ✶ ✶ Location: Lydeet Plains (rare), Himur Island (rare) Drop: Old Tomes Apandas are rarely spotted creatures who sometimes turn up outside of the learning centers of Vaikuntha. They can be lured by the smell of old books. They inflict bad statuses when startled, and are immune to most debuffs. They are weak to fire. There is a rumor of a friendly Apanda who has aided lost scholars beset by enemy monsters. |
 BEHEMOTH ✶ ✶ ✶ ✶ ✶ ✶ ✶ ✶ ✶ ✶ Location:Hope's Peak, Ramuza Stone Field (rare), Shakyamuni Plains Drop: Golden Crystal (10%) The Behemoth is one of the deadliest enemies that can be encountered. It can protects and heals itself with magic, but it can also attack enemies with it. Behemoth is the only monsters that can use the Ultima spell, and be sure it will make use of it without any warning. |
 BOMB ✶ ✶ ✶ ✶ ✶ Location: Death Pool (blue), Yuri Fields (yellow), Neg'gi Desert (red) Drop: 1 250 Gil, Bomb Fragment (25%) Bombs attack enemies with fire spells, but this isn't why they are dangerous. With each attack dealt to them, they grow bigger. After striking at them three times, they self-destruct in an explosion that can seriously harm its enemies. Better take the Bomb down in a single strike with a powerful Ice (for the red variant) or Fire (for the blue variant) magic. |
 CACTUAR ✶ ✶ ✶ ✶ ✶ ✶ ✶ Location: Island of Cactuar Drop: 25 000 Gil, Speed Booster (25%), Cactuar Doll (1%) These little cacti are nearly impossible to hit, but they can hit hard with their attack "1000 Needles". This attack will take down instantly the weakest characters and grievously wound those of mid-level. Either way, odds are that the battle won't last long enough for characters to suffer this attack. Indeed, Cactuars generally flee from battles very quickly. |
 CHIMERA ✶ ✶ ✶ ✶ ✶ ✶ ✶ ✶ Location: Twilight Front Drop: 5 000 Gil, Potion (100%), Water Crystal (10%) Chimeras are abominations made up of a lion and two snakes. Each of the creature's head can attack. The lion attacks with physical attacks, whereas the first snake head casts Aqua Breath. The second head can cast Fire Breath. Chimeras are resistant against physical and magical attacks alike and count amongst the hardest monsters to defeat. |
 COCKATRICE ✶ ✶ ✶ ✶ ✶ Location: Sakura Forest Drop: 1000 Gil, Wind Crystal (10%) Cockatrices are gigantic birds possessing a special attack that can petrify their enemies. Whilst Cockatrices are fairly weak monsters that can be defeated with ease, they are extremely dangerous when fought alone. It is always better to be at least two to face this enemy, in case the beast petrifies one of the fighters. |
 DANGLER FISH ✶ ✶ ✶ Location: Various Oceans (night) Drop: 200 Gil A predator that remains on the bottom of the sea during the day and comes to the surface at night. It lures in prey using the light on its head, and many novice sailors have mistaken it for a distant lighthouse. When in combat, it will attempt to pull in its enemies into its toothy mouth. |
 DRAGON ✶ ✶ ✶ ✶ ✶ ✶ ✶ ✶ ✶ Location: Nox Plains Drop: 20 000 Gil, Dragon's Heart (10%) Dragons are very rare, and that's a chance. As they can fly, their mobility is beyond that of other monsters. They are as resistant as Adamantoise and more powerful than them. They are weak to ice and sometimes can drop a Dragon's Heart, which can be infused into weapons to double all physical attacks. |
 ELEMENTAL ✶ ✶ ✶ ✶ Location: Tatlin Fields/Zeruda Fields (yellow), Nashee Archipelago (yellow), Yuri Fields, (black), Nox Plains (white), Neg'gi Desert (red), Lydeet Plains (blue, Claus Snowfield (white), Ghost City of B'Alesia (black), Lail Ocean (white), Mueredy Plains (black) Drop: 500 Gil, Elemental Crystal (5%) Floating runes animated by magic, Elementals can only be defeated by mages. They come in different color and absorb the magic of the corresponding element. Furthermore, they also attack with magic of this very element: blue = water, yellow = electricity, red = fire, white = ice, black = darkness. The only way to defeat them is to cast unto them spells of the opposite element. |
 GARGOYLE ✶ ✶ ✶ ✶ ✶ Location: Nox Plains (night) Drop: 1 250 Gil Gargoyles attack most of the time with wind-based attack, though they are not beyond trying to rip their target apart with their claws. Weak enemies individually, the problem comes from the fact they never attack alone; they will always be encountered in groups of three at least, six at most. |
 GEEZARD ✶ Location: Everywhere Drop: 1 Gil, Orichalcum (0.0001%) The weakest monster one can encounter in the world of Vaikuntha. Its attacks are weak and it is weak against everything. Nobody takes them seriously, and it's a little bit sad. |
 GOLEM ✶ ✶ ✶ ✶ Location: Neg'gi Desert, Drop: 1000 Gil, Potion (25%) Giant humanoids composed of rocks, Golems possess very powerful physical attacks. They attack with their fists, and can easily catch heavy rocks to throw at their enemies. Furthermore, magical attacks deal very little damage to them. They are however fairly weak enemies for well-prepared warriors. |
 IRON GIANT ✶ ✶ ✶ ✶ ✶ ✶ ✶ ✶ Location: Twilight Frontier, Shakyamuni Plains Drop: 10 000 Gil Weapons once created by the Ancients. Some are still active whilst some have been re-activated by the natives in an effort to understand Ancient technology. These machines are unparalleled swordsmen and their body is entirely made of metal. However, fire attacks work well on them and can get the best of them, as do gravity-based attacks. |
 LONG GUI ✶ ✶ ✶ ✶ ✶ ✶ ✶ ✶ ✶ Location: Nox Plains Drop: 100 000 Gil These gigantic creatures are big enough to just stomp of the Heroes of Light and kill them that way. They are not dangerous when left alone, but if attacked they will prove just stomping the ground may be enough to kill enemies after hours spent fighting. Indeed, killing them may take hours, sometimes entire days: a battle against them shouldn't be taken lightly. They cannot be taken as Monsters for a Beastmaster. |
 MALBORO ✶ ✶ ✶ ✶ ✶ ✶ ✶ ✶ ✶ ✶ Location: Himur Island (rare), Ruins of Genesis Drop: 22 000 Gil, Ailment Crystal (5%) Malboro are among the most deadly monsters that exist in the world of Vaikuntha. Not only are they resistant to both physical and magical attacks, but their attacks are enough to instantly kill the weakest characters. Their most dangerous attack is Bad Breath: it will instantly blind, confuse and poison an entire party, in addition to muting characters and preventing them from using magic. In rarer case, Bad Breath can even turn characters into a frog. |
 MEDUSA ✶ ✶ ✶ ✶ ✶ ✶ ✶ Location: Hepshin Sea, Death Pool Drop: 1 Gil, Money Bag (100%) Humanoid with snakes in place of her hair, Medusa share with Cockatrice the ability to petrify her enemies. Unlike the Cockatrice however, she can also cast water magic and inflict poison ailment on their enemies. Upon being defeated, for unknown reasons Medusa releases an impressive amount of Gil (10 000 to 50 000). |
 MERROW ✶ ✶ ✶ ✶ ✶ Location: Various Oceans Drop: 1500 Gil, The voices of Merrows are infamous for luring travelers to their deaths on the ocean. These aquatic beings will attempt to inflict Charm and Confuse on their prey before dragging them into the water. It is wise to silence them early in battle. |
 MIMIC ✶ ✶ ✶ ✶ ✶ Location: Everywhere Drop: 10 000 Gil Mimics take the shape of treasure chests to lure their victims. If a character tries to "open" the treasure chest, Mimic will burst out as a full enemy, taking advantage of the surprise to attack him or her. They are not very strong, but they benefit of the element of surprise. It is impossible to distinguish a regular treasure chest from a Mimic prior to opening it. |
 OCHU ✶ ✶ ✶ ✶ ✶ ✶ ✶ Location: Tatlin Fields / Zeruda Fields Drop: 3 500 Gil, Electricity Crystal (10%) A plant-like monster with four thorny arms, the Ochu doesn't hit hard and is weak against fire. However, the strength of Ochu come from the status ailments they can inflict onto their targets: poison and sleep. It is better not to be alone when facing one. |
 OCTOPUS ✶ ✶ ✶ ✶ Location: Various Oceans Drop: 800 Gil, Takoyaki Octopuses are aquatic creatures who are usually encountered in the water. On rare occasions, they will attack boats. They are intelligent creatures and can attack multiple targets with their tentacles. They are weak to lightning. |
 Pig ✶ Location:Shakyamuni Plains, Purana Fields Drop: Bacon, Perfume(1%) The wild cousins of the widely-domesticated rappigs, wild pigs are incredibly delicious, and thus incredibly rare. They have no attack power, and those |
 RAPTOR ✶ ✶ ✶ ✶ ✶ ✶ ✶ ✶ ✶ ✶ Location: Twilight Frontier, Purana Fields Drop: 20 000 Gil, Raptor's Claw (10%) Fast, incredibly intelligent and agile creatures. On their own, they don't look like much. But Raptors never attack alone. If you see a Raptor, at least two more are around, hiding to ambush you when you least expect it. Their claws can rip apart a human within seconds, all the better for them as human flesh is their favorite dish. |
 REMORA ✶ ✶ ✶ ✶ ✶ ✶ ✶ Location: Various Oceans Drop: 1000 Gil, Scales Remoras are fierce, carnivorous fish. They have been known to ‘fly’ at sailors using their wing-like fins as they leap through the waves. Skilled chefs can make delicacies from this fish, but most fisherman consider them too tough and avoid them. They are weak to lightning and fire, and attack with razor scales and fins. |
 SAHAGIN ✶ ✶ ✶ ✶ Location: Lake of Ira, Lydeet Plains, Nashee Archipelago Drop: 700 Gil A spear-wielding walking turtle, the Sahagin is very resistant to magic and absorbs water-based magic. It attacks either with its spear or a water beam, and is best taken down with physical attacks. |
 SKELETON ✶ ✶ ✶ ✶ Location: Ghost City of B'Alesia, Mueredy Plains Drop: 800 Gil, Fire Crystal (10%) These skeleton are rather weak, even though they attack in group. Their weak attacks and lack of coordination make them easy targets for fighters, even though one should remain careful. Sometimes, the number of skeletons attacking at once can be overwhelming. |
 T-REX ✶ ✶ ✶ ✶ ✶ ✶ ✶ ✶ ✶ ✶ ✶ Location: Ruins of Genesis, Twlight Frontier Drop: 100 000 Gil, Mythril (30%), Mega Crystal (0.5%) The king of all monsters. Meeting one in battle is a dead sentence. You cannot outrun him, wounding him may take forever and it can kill anything that moves. Both magical and physical attack deal half-damages against it, and whether it is with its teeth, claw or tail, the T-Rex has the means to kill an enemy. The only monster more dangerous than the T-Rex is the Hamster. |
 TONBERRY ✶ ✶ ✶ ✶ ✶ ✶ ✶ ✶ Location: Twilight Frontier Drop: 15 000 Gil, Knife (25%), Tonberry Doll (1%) These creatures are very slow and extremely resistant to all kind of attack. They seemingly never attack and simply walk toward their targets, slowly. If attacked, Tonberry counters with Karma, an attack that deals back to its enemies the exact damage they caused. If ever a Tonberry manages to reach its enemy, it will then use the attack Chief's Knife: which instantly kills the attacked character. |
 TOUCH ME ✶ ✶ ✶ ✶ ✶ Location: Death Pool, Lydeet Plains, Nashee Archipelago Drop: 250 Gil A small and seemingly inoffensive dancing frog, Touch Me can actually turn its enemies into frogs simply by touching them. Using the skill Frog Song, it can both turn its enemies into frogs without even touching them, and put them to sleep. Worry not: a mere remedy or Esuna spell can cure from the frog ailment. Otherwise, they are weak enemies easily taken down. |
 Treant ✶✶✶✶✶✶ Location:Shakyamuni Plains, Purana Fields Drop: 5,000 gil, Earth Crystal (10%) Walking trees that wander the fields and plains in the San Devadatta Empire. They are slow to anger, but equally as slow to forget a grudge once angered. Treats will not attack first, but are formidable foes once engaged. They have great physical strength and high physical defense, but are vulnerable to fire and lightning magic. |
 WYVERN ✶ ✶ ✶ ✶ ✶ ✶ ✶ ✶ ✶ ✶ Location: Hepshin Sea, Sakura Forest, Nox Plains, Purana Fields Drop: 5 000 Gil, Light Crystal (10%) Dragons that lack forearms, Wyverns are extremely dangerous creatures. Like all dragons they fly and attack from high with devastating fire breaths. Exceptionally unlucky characters may encounter two of them at once, though it is very rare. They are, obviously, very resistant to both magic and physical attacks. |
 YETI ✶ ✶ ✶ ✶ ✶ ✶ Location: Claus Snowfield Drop: 5000 Gil, Ice Crystal (10%) Believed by most to be a myth, the Yeti is only found in the frozen Claus Snowfields. Its thick pelt makes it resistant to physical attacks and immune to Ice elemental attacks. It is weak to fire. Because the Yeti are so camouflaged in the snow, scholars are not sure if they are rare or just hard to spot. |
 ZADOM ✶ ✶ ✶ Location: Various Oceans Drop: 500 Gil, Zadom Leather The Zadom is an aquatic lizard known to leap onto ocean-faring vessels and occasionally emerge on beaches to attack travelers. They attack by forcefully spraying water from their mouths, although they can also use their tails as clubs. |
 ZOMBIE ✶ ✶ ✶ ✶ ✶ Location: Ghost City of B'Alesia, Mueredy Plains Drop: 500 Gil, Darkness Crystal (5%) Frightening enemies, Zombies are much smarter than their cousins, the Skeletons. They can zombify their enemies when attacking them, and then grievously harm them by casting potions or heal spells onto them. Thankfully, this weakness applies to them as well: they die very easily when attacked with curative magic. |
Hamsters are the deadliest monsters to roam the world of Vaikuntha. They are a notch above any other monsters, they are extremely rare but can be found anywhere under any circumstances at any time. One has to be extremely unlucky to stumble upon them, but should it happen, death awaits them. There are twelve unique species of Hamsters. Rumors claim if one of each species is defeated, the God of Hamsters will descend from the heavens to avenge his fallen brethren. |
 CRYSTALLIAN HAMSTER The most ancient hamster species, said to have existed prior to the creation of the world. These Hamsters will attack characters with a poisonous bite. The poison will kill them within two minutes if left unattended. In a mild-case case scenario, Hamsters will summon dozens of their friends and attack the characters, biting them to death. Worst case, hundreds of these hamsters will come to devour the character. |
 ANIMUS HAMSTER A species of hamster said to have originated from a tower where there lived a little girl collecting people from dead worlds to keep her company. Whilst cute on the surface, these hamsters are infested with parasites that will infect anyone going after them. These hamsters have a thirst for blood and carry with them the worst diseases known in the world. |
 ROBOROVSKY HAMSTER Smaller than other Hamsters, this species is the only peaceful one. Defeating them involves being brave enough to pet them, which will cause them to disappear. But are you about to pet the right hamster or one of the deadly species? |
 DEADLY POISONOUS ZANZIBAR HAMSTER These highly poisonous hamsters are the most common species there is. They've learned to live in cities by sneaking and hiding from people, often time stealing their belongings. The true danger is how sneaky they are, as they can sneak behind you without you ever realizing it. Their favorite food is cheese, a real treat. |
 MAGITEK HAMSTER These cybernetic organisms were created by an ancient civilization in an attempt to harness the power of Hamsters for war. Alas, they were destroyed by their own creation. This hamster is a relentless killing machine that will pursue its target anywhere. Attacking it will destroy its fur, revealing a nigh-indestructible red-eyed machine in the shape of a hamster. |
 SCHOLARLY HAMSTER These hamsters were gifted with high intelligence through experiments conducted in the region of Min'To. Smart, it can speak to its target and command other species of hamster. It enjoys experimenting on its victims and see what are the most efficient ways to get fresh blood. |
 HIGHLY TACTICAL HAMSTER The people of Safer Osu once tried to create weaponry made to kill Hamsters. What they hadn't expected was for said hamsters to adapt and take the weaponry for their own use. This particular hamster can summon a wide variety of firearm and unleash hell on its target. It particularly enjoys burning them alive. |
 DANGEROUSLY ROLLING HAMSTER It is said this hamster traveled through the Interdimensional Sea in the comfort of his hamster ball. Even since it began traveling from out world, it never really managed to decelerate and is now crushing anything on its path, whether it is in the sky, underwater or on the ground. |
 HAMSTER OF THE RODENT TABLE Seeing the efforts made by the people of Vaikuntha to defeat Hamsterkind, certain hamsters have taken up arms to defend their kin and rodents everywhere. These hamsters are noble and prideful fighters. They do not kill for pleasure but only to defend their kindred. |
 AIR FIGHTING HAMSTER With the raise of airship, some hamsters decided to try and take up to the skies as well. This one generally appears in squadrons of six hamsters, flying together to take down airships that threaten to approach the great rodent island. |
 MARINE HAMSTER This aquatic hamster only lives to be the very best. It doesn't enjoy fighting and will sometimes catch a boat to take a nap. Should one get scared of this hamster upon finding them and lash out however, they will go wild and kill all aboard the boat. |
 ZOMBIE HAMSTER The end is but the beginning for a hamster. Upon dying, all hamsters are reborn as Zombies if their body isn't vaporized entirely first. Mindless, they hunt for flesh to eat. |
