Bestiary

There are numerous monsters all over the world of Vana'diel. The vast majority of monsters belong to a certain Family of monsters. A family of monsters will generally possess similar traits and skills. For example, both the Beach Bunny and Variable Hare belong to the Rabbit Family and will typically possess the same abilities (i.e. Double Attack) and special attacks (i.e. Foot Kick). In addition, monsters from within a family will generally share certain behaviors and weaknesses (see Monster Classification).

Each family also belongs to a System, which generally describes the type of monster. Thus, the Rabbit Family belongs to the Beast System. Monsters from one system may possess certain advantages or disadvantages when interacting with monsters from another system. To see how each system interacts with each other, see: Ecosystems.

Certain rare and notorious monsters also inhabit the world of Vana'diel, and, if defeated, may reward the adventurer with rare and exclusive items.
