Forum:The Monster Encyclopedia

This encyclopedia gives a detailed description about each monster, as well as their strengths and weaknesses. It also gives the best ways to defeat the monster.

Monsters fall into two categories: Creatures and Unique Creatures. Enemies in the Creatures category mean there exist multiple of that enemy. For example Hellhounds, Cyclops, and Drakons. Enemies in the Unique Creatures are one of a kind, and once killed will not appear again for some time (until they reform). For example Cetus, the Minotaur, or Medusa.

History
Harpies are winged spirits best known for constantly stealing all food from Phineas. The literal meaning of the word seems to be "that which snatches".

Strengths
Their claws are very sharp and can tear through armor. They can fly very quickly.

Tactics
They can fly and they use their claws in combination with this.They will fly low and rake with their claws before they fly up so you cannot hit them. Another popular tactic is swooping down and lifting enemies into the air and dropping them from high heights.

Weaknesses
Their flesh is susceptable to any basic attack. If their wings are disabled many of their strategies are useless.When they swoop, duck and thrust up with your weapon. If a wing is injured, they will fall and can be easily beaten.

Weaknesses
Fairly weak, and can be captured or killed with little effort. The problems lies in their tails, which should be cut off before worrying about anything else.

Strengths
Dragons have armor that varies in thickness. Dragons that have wings tend to have weaker scales than land based dragons. Most of them are capable of breathing flames.Very few can breathe poison. Throughout all of history, there have been two reported sightings of dragons that could breathe ice and freezing wind. Most dragons have powerful claws and tails, but it again depends on the individual dragon.

Strengths
Large and bulky serpentine drakons, capable of gliding over the land. Their armor is almost in inpenetrable. This breed of drakon can breathe flames. This breed is immune to flames and freezing.

Tactics
The tactic of these terrors is to speed around and act as a battering ram, then devour whatever they hit. If attacked, they use a wide spray of flames to coat as much area as possible. If fighting a single enemy, they can launch concentrated balls of fire.

Weaknesses
The weakness of this lesser drakon any exposed tissue. Most of their bodies are coated in hard scales, but the few sections not coated (including eyes and mouth) are vulnerable to attacks. They can be killed by extremely powerful poisons.

Strengths
These terrifying creatures are massive, and use their size to crush enemies. They have indestructible plated scales covering the majority of their body. Anything that makes eye contact with these creatures will be paralyzed. There is a remarkeably, impossibly small chance of being able to break free of this paralysis without assisstance. They can also spray a destructive toxin that has some acidic properties. Only amputation of an effected area can prevent death. A direct blast of this poison will always cause death. These creatures are immune to poison. Elemental (fire, water, ice, wind, etc.) abilities prove ineffective against this terror.

Tactics
The main strategy of this creature is to paralyze victims then devour or crush them. If this tactic fails, they will increase speed and act as massive battering rams. With this tactic done they will move onto their final strategy which involves spraying poison out in streams then spraying in random directions to cause chaos.

Weaknesses
These beasts have few weaknesses. The soft flesh of their eyes, and inside their mouths are the only practical weak points. Be warned, if they lose their eyes they will move to their final tactic and spray poison in random directions.

History
The most famous Karkinos was summoned by Hera to fight Hercules alongside the Hydra. He was easily defeated. For his service, that Karkinos was made into the constellation 'Cancer'.
