Raising a Healthy Monster

The average monster will not live long enough to read S Rank. Treating your monster with care and gentleness will help it to live longer while working it like a dog and letting it get injured in battle will age it more quickly. There are two special food items (an Egg Plant and a Golden Peach, found on expeditions) which will increase the monster's lifespan. If your monster lives to be ten years old, you'll get a special birthday song.


The Monsters Breeds

There are twelve basic breeds of monster which can be found on CDs at any time:
  • Dino
  • Golem
  • Tiger
  • Pixie
  • Worm
  • Jell
  • Suezo
  • Hare
  • Gali
  • Monol
  • Naga
  • Plant
There are eight rare breeds which you can only gain by completing parts of the game:
  • Dragon
  • Magic
  • Henger
  • Nya
  • Ape
  • Ghost
  • Doodle
  • Disk
There are three mystery breeds which you can't get ever. These are mainly used internally by the game for rare monsters like the Bunny (Pixie/????) or the Geisha (Dino/????). You can only get monsters with ???? sub-types from rare monster CDs.

Earning Rare Monsters

APE:
  1. Find the Magic Banana on the Hartville expedition.
  2. Use the magic banana when combining any two monsters with the rating Spoil.
NYA:
  1. Find the Cat Doll on the Titus Temple expedition. (The Cat Doll will also appear in the shop after around 30 years.)
  2. Use the Cat Doll when combining any two monsters.
GHOST:
  1. Let a monster, any monster, die. It can die of old age or be killed in battle.
  2. Get a new monster from the lab or shrine. (Don't get a new monster by simply thawing a monster at the lab. It has to be either from the shrine or combined from lab monsters.)
  3. On the day of the very next Official E Cup tournament, save your game.
  4. Enter that Official E Cup tournament and win.
  5. There will be a random chance of your monster being possessed. If your monster is possessed, Holly will point out a skull mark on your monster's back right after you give your monster its monthly snack. If it is not possessed, re-load and enter the tourney again.
  6. A possessed monster takes a loss on its Life points and has a shorter lifespan. Combine it with another monster to get a Ghost.
DOODLE:
  1. Raise a Monol monster until its fame reaches 80.
  2. Purposely lose a low ranking battle so badly that your monster's fame frops below 65, all in one go.
  3. When this happens, your monster will be vandalized and become the Scribble monster type.
  4. Combine it with another monster at the lab to get the Doodle monster.
DRAGON:
  1. Win the B level Trial Cup in April.
  2. Keep the same monster on the ranch until July and you will be invited the A class Summer Invitational tournament with a Dragon Horn as the prize.
  3. Once you win the Dragon Horn, use it when combining a Stinger (Naga-Dino) and a Grape (Dino-Naga) to create a Dragon.
MAGIC:
  1. On the Titus expedition, find the Old Mirror.
  2. In September, have an A level monster on the ranch and you will receive an invition to the Fall Invitational.
  3. Win the Fall Invitational and Karn will tell you the secret of breeding a Magic monster.
  4. The Secret Is: Use the Old Mirror when combining a Gali and a Monol.
HENGER:
  1. Find both arms and legs of the Clay Doll on the Reno expedition.
  2. In January, have an A level monster on the ranch and you will receive an invition to the Winter Invitational.
  3. Win the Winter Invitational and you will get the Clay Doll Head as the prize.
  4. The fives pieces will be put together by Tesca to form the Clay Doll.
  5. Take a monster with at least 550 Intelligence to the Stone Tablet on the Reno Expedition and a circular mark will appear on the monster when it successfully reads the tablet.
  6. Use the doll when combining the marked monster with another monster to create the Henger, a powerful robot monster.
DISK:
I don't know how to get the Disk monster. So far, I've only managed to get it using hexcode cheating. If anyone finds a way to get this monster without cheating or using CDs, please let me know.

Star Gazer, Leviathan, Love Meter, Easy Disk:
These monsters do not exist! They are rumors made up by silly people. I have personally verified that they do not exist.
