Biography
Characteristics
Hens appear when a Master Hen is at low HP but not yet defeated. They will attempt to run away from the player character and will revert back into a Master Hen once they've restored enough HP. Mechanically, the Hen and Great Hen are 2 separate monster families; however, internally, according to the in-game monster books, they're the same monster family. They're often depicted together in official artwork, making them inextricably linked.
