Monster Rancher monsters
From Freepedia
Monster Rancher is a video game and anime franchise wherein the player raises monsters and has them fight in tournaments against other monster breeders. Each monster is defined by a primary breed (such as Golem), which defines its basic form and abilities, and a sub-breed, which defines its color scheme, modifies its appearance, and slightly alters some of its capabilities. Breed is commonly specified as Primary/Sub. For example, Golem/Suezo indicates a monster with primary breed Golem, sub-breed Suezo, and manifests as a large humanoid figure with the bright yellow skin and single eye that are characteristic of the Suezo monster breed. Below is a list of many of the different species used in the franchise. Not all appear in every game, and many are culled for sequels.Contents |
