Typically, in any given JRPG, there are scores upon scores of generic monsters for you to cleave your way through in pursuit of fame, riches, and all that jazz. This is why, when you encounter a monster that is entirely unique from its contemporaries, you know it has to be hiding something worthwhile. Here are all the strengths and weaknesses of the unique monsters in Chained Echoes.
