WELL, LET'S SEE HOW MUCH I CAN COMPLETE BEFORE THEN HAHAHA Feel free to submit monster requests and I’ll get around to them ASAP! Also, thank you for stopping by this blog, it’s been very fun <3 -ArtistDaura/windaura

Horus Category: Divine

Can be tamed: Yes / No (not the large kind at least) Horus can be found fiercely protecting their eggs at Horus’s Nest near the Sand Dunes.

Wearing a nemes crown adorned in bright gold and royal blue, this griffin is not to be underestimated when it comes to strength and hostility.

Horus strides around proudly, even taking a moment to preen its feathers.

But during combat, Horus will scratch and slam its paws on the ground, creating a paralysing tremor or whip up a forceful gale of wind. Taking advantage of the skies, it shrouds itself in a temporary barrier before circling its nest and setting it ablaze in searing fireballs, should you stay on the ground. Otherwise, you’d better hold on tight...

In case you ever wondered what goes on behind the scenes

Thank you for voting on Twitter! It looks like Henesys, Kerning City and Frostpeak will be covered first; then Ellinia, Perion and any other regions.

Baby Moonbear Category: Beast

Can be tamed: Yes / No Baby Moonbear can be found at Hushwood Vale as well as the Crooked Canyon. They live alongside the Blue Sprite found in Hushwood Vale. At the Crooked Canyon, they can be found sharing the area with Lupin and Urza.

The first thing you’ll notice just as its name suggests, is the crescent-shaped moon marking on their heads.They may look cuddly, but don’t be fooled by their ability to run very fast on their hind legs despite being only a small cub. Defense Mechanism: They chase their opponent down while running on hind legs with red eyes. Then, they perform a strong downwards headbutt to try and knock their opponent out after a somersault in mid-air.

Long Terrorhare Category: Undead

Can be tamed: Yes / No Long Terrorhare can be found at several places: Goldus Pharmaceuticals, the Neuron DNA Research Center and the Development Lab. They live alongside the Beefy Terrorhare and Little Terrorhare at Goldus Pharmaceuticals.

These monsters are tightly wrapped in dirty old bandages, and their face is comprised mostly of teeth. It’s unsettling once you realise their jaws can move. Defense Mechanism: They swing their arms and punch their opponent. When disturbed, they run with their hands outstretched in front like a zombie.

Block Golem Y Category: Inanimate

Can be tamed: Yes / No Block Golem Y is found at the Ludibrium Crater, just northwest of Tria, where it lives alongside Slime, and Stump.

According to the Block Golem Catalog it is priced at 1,000,000 mesos. I’m not an expert on machines, but it looks quite flexible with its hinges. 

Defense Mechanism: What I thought were decorative block sockets were actually eyes... It turns out these glow red (possibly an LED) as they bound forth with their front arms. They can fire projectiles from both their hands.

Personal Notes: “Don’t underestimate their blocky structure. It can be quite confronting to have one chase after you, especially in squads.” - Halsien

Stump Category: Plant

Can be tamed: Yes / No Stump is found at the Ludibrium Crater, just northwest of Tria, where it lives alongside Slime, and Block Golem Y. It only has one eye, but still navigates around just fine. 

Defense Mechanism: Despite how strange it might look, it can still deliver a powerful kick with its legs.

Ooooh I was just wandering around and found your encyclopedia... And it's AMAZING!!! I just wanted to ask, what are your thoughts about the Slimes?

“Oh, thank you very much. I wasn’t expecting that. I’m delighted to hear you’re enjoying it!” - Halsien

Slime

Category: Spirit

Can be tamed: Yes / No

Slime is found at the Ludibrium Crater, just northwest of Tria, where it lives alongside Stump and Block Golem YFlexible and bouncy with their jelly-like texture, they move around by bounding up and down.

Defense Mechanism: 

Their eyes turn red and they ready themselves to squish their opponent in goo.

Personal Notes: “Little Horus here was kind enough to help demonstrate the attack. I owe one to them, haha.”

Blue Sprite Category: Fairfolk

Can be tamed: Yes / No Blue Sprites are found in Hushwood Vale, where it always rains. They live alongside the Baby Moonbear. Unlike their counterpart (Tree Sprite) their ‘hood’ does not have any sort of symbol patterned on it. They constantly carry around a bat-shaped log to protect themselves. Defense Mechanism: Its eyes glow red as it harshly bashes its opponent downwards with its log.

[ms2-field-encyclopedia]

Little Horus Category: Divine

Can be tamed: Yes* (Pet via Dungeon Helper Store) / No Little Horus is not commonly found out in the field, unless it was hatched by natural circumstances. For this reason, Spartan in Queenstown must have been very lucky to mind such a precious egg. This little griffin is said to be unwaveringly loyal to whoever takes him in, and still retains the ego of a legendary beast. From what I’ve observed, it seems to love bounding around proudly and adopts a very playful nature. Defense Mechanism:  Like its larger self, its eyes gleam red as it breathes out puffs of fireballs at whatever it is attacking. It even completes this motion with a light somersault.

Personal Notes: “I have to admit I have a soft spot for them. They really are adorable.” - Halsien

Neoroid-R Category: Machine

Can be tamed: Yes / No Neoroid-R is found at the MSL Electronics Institute, MSL Robot Dev Center and the MSL Factory of the Taliskar region. There are three versions of this robot: Neoroid-R, Neoroid-D and Neoroid-O. Much like its counterpart, Xenoroid-R (whose prototype for some reason runs under a different name...), it resembles a girl with a dress. Its right arm is equipped with a retractable light saber. Defense Mechanism: Their LED eyes glow red before they twirl around in a circle, hitting their opponent with their lightsaber laser. They may also choose to shoot lasers from a distance.

-

Personal Notes: “The robots here at Taliskar appear to be very intelligent. Their sensors are sensitive and will easily track you down. It’s best to stay on-guard.” - Halsien

Zenoroid-R Category: Machine

Can be tamed: Yes / No Zenoroid-R is found at the MSL Robot Dev Center, Steamerbrook and the Water Supply Center of the Taliskar region. There are three versions of this robot: Zenoroid-R, Zenoroid-D and Zenoroid-O. Adopting a design much like a little girl, it wields a deadly saw which is infused into its right arm. Defense Mechanism: Their LED eyes glow red before they twirl their spinning saw into their opponent.

Destrobo B Category: Machine

Can be tamed: Yes / No Destrobo B is found at the Cellimental Test Bunker in the region of Taliskar where it lives alongside Pink Slime and Overloy B. There are four versions of this robot: Destrobo B, Destrobo D, Destrobo E and Destrobo R. The most prominent feature of Destrobo B is its constantly angry expression. It clangs its fists together in intimidation, perhaps to show off its aggression. Defense Mechanism: Their LED eyes glow red before they launch projectiles from their arms.

[ms2-field-encyclopedia]

Overloy B Category: Machine

Can be tamed: Yes / No Overloy-B is found at the Cellimental Test Bunker in the region of Taliskar. There are three versions of this robot: Overloy B, Overloy D and Overloy R. Designed to look cute, the Overloy B seems to be programmed to dance and spin.  Defense Mechanism: Their LED eyes glow red before they propel themselves towards what has invaded their personal space.
