Rare Monsters: Difference between revisions

From Legend of Dragoon - Wiki Project

(+Updated the article in general. +Removed formatting on the table that prevented it from expanding further. +Removed an abbrev that doubles as a slur. +Removed data for the Japanese version of the game. If we want to include that data, I'd prefer it be in a separate article like "Enemies (Japanese version)" to prevent confusion. I understand this would cut the ease of comparing info between the two versions, but that could easily get its own page. +Corrected hp value)
(+Tightened the definition of a boss. +Changed Boss Minions to Boss Extras to encompass entries like Wire, Dark Sword, etc which do not fit the theme of minions as they are inanimate)

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.
