No, we’re not just beating up houses now, it’s a monster that looks like a house.

Tak the Yak

Good heavens, that’s a lot of yak. Can you imagine how bad this thing smells?

Leaping the Frog

A small, fast frog doesn’t seem that scary until it starts lunging at you with razor-sharp claws.

• Weaknesses: Earth

Ekskalibur

Be you worthy to draw the sword from the turtle? Probably not, so let’s just take it the hard way.

• Strengths: Earth
• Weaknesses: Water

Dwelly of the Valley

How do you fight a giant valley dragon? With a giant mech suit, of course!

• Strengths: Wind
• Weaknesses: Earth

Arthros

“Is it behind the rabbit?” “No, it is the rabbit!”

• Strengths: Fire

Thankfully, you won’t need to search the entire world to find this guy’s treasure.

Da Capo

There’s a joke about Italian music I could make about this mushroom somewhere, but I haven’t thought of it.

Humphry the Hungry

You know, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a depiction of a giant sandworm that I liked, and Humphry is no exception.

• Strengths: Earth
• Weaknesses: Light

Otter Nobunaga

Remarkably, this is not the worst Nobunaga pun I’ve ever heard.

• Strengths: Water
• Weaknesses: None

Hairy Otter

This might be the worst Harry Potter pun I’ve ever heard, though.

• Weaknesses: Darkness

Golden Borb Bob

It’s kind of a fantasy rule of thumb that things that hatch out of golden eggs are almost always jerks.

• Strengths: Wind
• Weaknesses: Light

Aurora the Sky Dragon

You know you’ve met a dragon you shouldn’t mess with when it has a first name. This ain’t just any Sky Dragon, this is Aurora, and you’d better recognize.

• Strengths: Dark
• Weaknesses: None

Senior Tadeye

I can’t tell if this is a pun or not, I’m distracted by the entirely-too-many eyes on this thing’s face.

• Strengths: Wind
• Weaknesses: Earth

Bog the Real Gob

I’ve watched enough anime to know that a goblin wearing a fancy hat isn’t something to be underestimated.

• Strengths: Wind
• Weaknesses: Earth

If you can defeat every Unique Monster in the game, you’ll receive the “Endangered Species” achievement. Don’t feel bad, these things weren’t doing much for the ecosystem.
