Draft:Shiren 5 Vita:Monster

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.

Monster Type		Template:Shiren5	Template:Shiren5	Template:Shiren5	Notes
English	Japanese
Plant-type		Template:Shiren5		(Anti-Plant)	It's unclear what other special abilities they have.
Exploding-type		Template:Shiren5		(Anti-Explode)	They can also explode if they get very low on HP without dying.
Metal-type		Template:Shiren5		(Anti-Metal)	They can also be weakened by splashing them with water from a Template:Shiren5.
Magic-type		Template:Shiren5		(Anti-Magic)	They tend to have special magical attacks.
Floating-type		Template:Shiren5		(Anti-Floating)	They can also travel over water and air/void tiles.
Draining-type		Template:Shiren5		(Anti-Drain)	They also tend to have special attacks which degrade your stats (HP, strength, etc…)
Aquatic-type		Template:Shiren5		(Anti-Aquatic)	They can also travel over water tiles.
Cyclopean-type		Template:Shiren5		(Anti-Cyclops)	Unclear what other special abilities they have.
Dragon-type		Template:Shiren5		(Anti-Dragon)	They also tend to be able to blast you with fireballs at long distance, sometimes even from other rooms.

Monsters with none of the above special types are normal-type monsters.

In addition to the equipment and runes listed above, there are also secret pot effects that interact with these monster types. See the Template:Shiren5 page and the Template:Shiren5 page for details.
