"Same appearance"

Middle color

Here I tried to use a "middle color" for the same appearance fields. I took the color from the border of the table, so I can say the color is "official". Maybe there are other middle colors used elsewhere, I don't know right now. There's a small problem that the text is hard to read, so brighter color could be useful. Using white or the "official light blue" for text doesn't seem to be a good solution because white draws more attention than I'd like and the light blue looks simply a bit weird (probably because it's used everywhere as background, not foreground color). Examples of these two colors are in the last two "same appearance" rows. (Maybe they don't look that bad in the end...)

Monster Project

As part of the Monster Overhaul Project:

Propose a merging of:

• Monster
• Monster Classification
• Visual Encyclopedia/creature

Into a single, more easily updated "Monster" page with the same information about weaknesses and tendencies and so on in the top part of the page, and all the organization is in this sortable list (this list is of course incomplete and a WiP, just has a few examples in it to test sortability). This page could easily have a {{main|List of monsters}} instead of being one large page. We could also divide the list by monster family (similar to how the monster page currently is) instead of one giant list, though this reduces sortability.

Feedback: don't touch monster page as much. We should still mention other methods of organization, either in a better reworded top or in See Also.

Proposal: Reclassify Wheel Launcher and Swarm Source as exploration entities instead of monsters.

List

The subsection division of this list is roughly based on the loot tables of defeated monsters.

If a field is empty, then the monster does not have an encountered variant associated with that aspect.

Certain monsters may have the same appearance for all tiers, but they probably have more attacks with intensified effects in higher tiers. See individual pages for details.

Many monsters can inflict stun in addition to other status ailments. The status column indicates a monster themed with that status. A monster without a status in this list may or may not be able to inflict stun or some other status. For example, curse is a Tier 3 status only and there aren't any "curse" stratum themes.

General

These monsters can almost always be found in an appropriate area. Some are randomly spawned, while others have set spawn points. Unless they are generated by a respawn pad, they have a chance to drop crowns, heat, hearts, a pickup, a vitapod, and/or materials when defeated. Lower tier monsters as well as monsters in Danger Rooms seem to have a higher chance of dropping nothing.
