Bestiary List in Rune Factory 2 by Type

I have continued to work hard on my guides for Rune Factory 2, despite the detour into the Flower Kingdom of Princess Debut. Although I had completed a screen-by-screen Walkthrough of each of the Dungeons/Caves for the Bestiary and Caves Guide at the end of the week, I decided to make a list of all Monsters according to their types. This would be useful for any player who is searching for a particular item that is 'dropped' as a War Trophy.

I completed the list late this afternoon and added it both to the General Guide and the Bestiary and Caves Guide. In the process, I tried to do a little copy-editing in terms of some errors I had made in descriptions here and there...

I am copying the list here for players who are more inclined to read posts on this site than to read my actual Guides:

Nice groupings. I wouldn't have thought of that. Thanks!

There are actually two kinds of Mimic/Treasure Box monsters.

One is called the Monster Box, and the other is the Mimic. Both are found in Palermo Temple.. I think the first one can be found if you go down the central flight of stairs and pull left once you're down. The generator spawns a Claw Dragon, and the monster, which is a tan colour with a greenish interior.. I don't have my DS on me, or it would be more informative. x.x

Hopefully this was helpful. :D

Duly noted, Omni, and duly added to the Guide. That's one I had missed, although at first I had suspected there would be two as there were two in the original Rune Factory. In THAT game, the difference mattered, as each one dropped a different item. In Rune Factory 2, the only difference is physical appearance.

P.S. You are right that the one with the Claw Dragon IS the Monster Box. That was the first one I tamed and added to the Guide.

Anon, there are spaces as well as coding in my actual Bestiary and Caves Guide. You will find the links to all my guides on the right side of this page. This was nothing more than a little post.
