'''Rare Monsters''', as the game developers call them, are a set of enemies encountered throughout Endiness. Unlike most mobs, these creatures require a specific approach to combat. They share a few common traits; for example, each of them has low HP, but take 0 or 1 damage from specific damage types. Their physical attacks deal 10% of their target's max HP as damage. They all have a high probability of running from battle. Each foe can have different abilities, such as attack barriers. Rewards for defeating these enemies vary greatly from gold, experience, or powerful items.
'''Rare Monsters''' are [[Minor Enemies]] who appear in random battles but are immune to [[Status Ailments#Non-Status Ailments|Instant Death]]. They possess several traits which make them unique compared to typical [[Enemies]]:
* Each has only 4 to 6 HP, but possess a special resistance that reduces most damage to 1.  
* Their attacks deal 10% of their target's max HP as physical damage. This uses a different formula than standard attacks which bypasses stats like defense, and is only affected by the modifiers "[[Tutorials#Defense|Guarding]]" and "target has [[Status Ailments#Fear|Fear]]."
* Even at full health they have a chance to "Run away!"
* Rewards for defeating these enemies are typically much greater than those of normally encountered enemies.

Rare Monsters are Minor Enemies who appear in random battles but are immune to Instant Death. They possess several traits which make them unique compared to typical Enemies:

  • Each has only 4 to 6 HP, but possess a special resistance that reduces most damage to 1.
  • Their attacks deal 10% of their target's max HP as physical damage. This uses a different formula than standard attacks which bypasses stats like defense, and is only affected by the modifiers "Guarding" and "target has Fear."
  • Even at full health they have a chance to "Run away!"
  • Rewards for defeating these enemies are typically much greater than those of normally encountered enemies.

Traits that set Rare Monsters apart from one another are described in their own pages.

For powerful enemies immune to all status ailments, encountered only once through scripted events, and carry enough narrative weight to standout from typical enemies, see Bosses.
For enemies who aappear in Boss encounters but are not Bosses, see Boss Extras.
