== Monster Movement ==
'''Monsters''' are organized into "families". There are usually 8 monsters in each family, one at each of four power levels, x2 for day monsters vs. night monsters. Family members are substantially similar to one another in both appearance and other attributes, though higher-level monsters within a family tend to be much tougher, tend to be worth more experience points, and tend to have more dangerous capabilities. Pay attention to the color of the monster you are facing to know which level it is and thus which specific capabilities it has.


Enemies appear to set a destination for themselves. You can figure out what this destination is (especially if you've used a Navigation Scroll or have a Monster Detector bracelet) by observing their movements. They will move diagonally until they've aligned themselves vertically/horizontally with the hallway they intend to walk into. This can be useful for getting in front of fleeing enemies like Snacky, FO-UZ, or Froggies that have stolen Gitan.
==Monster-types==
Monsters can have zero or more special types, each of which corresponds to different capabilities and/or vulnerabilities. All members of a monster family share the same set of types.

Enemies can "see" one grid square into the hallways around the edges of a room. If you want to lure enemies in a room into a hallway, stand right at the edge. Those in the room will set your hallway as their destination. Once they have, you can retreat further into the hallway so you don't attract more enemies than you bargained for.
Monsters with none of the above special types are normal-type monsters.


Some enemies can be identified by the movement of their map dots. A group of three is probably a Floaty type. If it's stationary, it's either asleep, or it's a Moseal. If it's moving two spaces per turn, well, it could be a variety of types, but whatever it is, you don't want to encounter it unless you're standing in a hallway.
In addition to the equipment and runes listed above, there are also secret pot effects that interact with these monster types. See the {{Shiren5Vita|Runes}} page and the {{Shiren5Vita|Secret Pots and New Items}} page for details.


Moving around Metalhead types and Pop Tank types is a skill worth practicing. There's a lesson in the Beginner House where you can practice with Metalheads. The speed of Pop Tanks, in particular, affects the way you move around them. They can only attack every other turn. On a turn where they can attack, make sure you're not aligned with them, and not standing next to a wall where they can get you with splash damage!

Monsters with ranged attacks won't use them on you if you're in a hallway, because they can't "see" you. This is true even if they "should" know that you're still at/around a given location because you haven't had enough turns to run away; their behavior doesn't account for this and so they still won't use a ranged attack.

Monsters are organized into "families". There are usually 8 monsters in each family, one at each of four power levels, x2 for day monsters vs. night monsters. Family members are substantially similar to one another in both appearance and other attributes, though higher-level monsters within a family tend to be much tougher, tend to be worth more experience points, and tend to have more dangerous capabilities. Pay attention to the color of the monster you are facing to know which level it is and thus which specific capabilities it has.

Monster-types

Monsters can have zero or more special types, each of which corresponds to different capabilities and/or vulnerabilities. All members of a monster family share the same set of types.

Aquatic-type 水棲 Water Cutter Type (Anti-Aquatic) They can also travel over water tiles.
Cyclopean-type 一ツ目 Myopic Masher Type (Anti-Cyclops) Unclear what other special abilities they have.
Dragon-type ドラゴン Lizard Lasher Type (Anti-Dragon) They also tend to be able to blast you with fireballs at long distances, sometimes even from other rooms.
Draining-type ドレイン Drain Dagger Type (Anti-Drain) They also tend to have special attacks which degrade your stats (HP, strength, etc…)
Exploding-type 爆発 Crescent Katana Type (Anti-Explode) They can also explode if they get very low on HP without dying.
