and my website
http://home.cybertron.com/~megatron/
until I get a request from someone who wants to post it somewhere else.

I could go on, but why bother.  I wrote this because of the depressing
lack of many other lists like it, so take any information you need:
Copy it, paste it, print it out, download it; but if you re-post it, again,
please give credit where credit is due and list all of the pages contributors
including myself.  Hopefully, there will be at least a few people out there
that this may help.

           identified in the contributor list; thanks much.
10.10.01:  If you would like to contribute a monster list to be included
           please make sure that the format is as follows:
=======================================================================
Monster                       Band:Album/DVD name/Game Name(version)
=======================================================================
           The monster needs to be either a description of the monster
           or the monster's genotype and geographic attribute ie:
           Zan/Ocean - Dragon/jungle - Durahan/Desert - Pixie/Forest
           Henger/Tundra - Zan/? (If you are submitting a question mark
           monster, please provide a description as well.  It is not a
           requisite, just helpful.)

Dedicated to My Best Friend Shana, without whose patience (at letting me 
hog the game all of the time ~_^) this list would not be possible;
and Dave, for his help in finding a few nice monsties.

                              Introduction
=======================================================================

Although it may be safe to assume that most who read this have played
Monster Rancher 1 & 2, I must (for argument's sake) take it as read that
quite a few of the readers have not.  If you have, please skip past.
The Monster Rancher Series, called Monster Farm in Japan, was one of
the first (if not THE first) monster raising games, predating even
Pokemon (Pocket Monsters) if I remember correctly.  It was made wholly
unique by the fact that a new interactive spin (no pun intended) was
included into the play of the game.  The 'spin' I am referring to is the
ability to generate monsters from any data disc small enough to fit into
the drive of your Playstation.  I'm still not sure on what the game reads
from the discs, but it seems to include the number of tracks, the unique
number assigned to certain music/DVD/game titles encoded into the disc's
data tracks and (in the previous games at least) the size of the data
tracks.  You then took the monster home and raised it as you do in the
third installment of the game.  That is where the similarities end
(aside from keeping some of the originals games' monsters).  In MR1 and 2,
you trained in one area, your farm, and your creature had its very own
barn to sleep in, while you and your assistant (a role taken over by Fleria
in MR3 as your "mentor") stayed in a housein the background.  Whenever you
built up enough money, your assistant would let you know that you could
build your house or barn bigger.  The advantage being that a bigger house
let you keep many more items in your inventory, and a bigger barn let you
raise bigger monsters such as Golems, Beaklons, and Baku.  Another change
in the MR series is that in MR2, you could send your monster off to train
for a month in a different land, where they would raise their stats
dramatically and learn new attacks.  This, of course, cost your character
a nice piece of change.  The main change; the most disappointing one so far,
is that the ability to breed your monsters has been removed.  Instead of
letting your monsters die, as in MR3, you froze them and raised another
monster until it was also ready to die.  When you had two monsters that you
wanted to breed (preferrably two that you have actually raised) you would
tell the gentleman at the hibernation facility to breed the two monsters.
This was like giving a monster heart to you monster in MR3, except for the
fact that you ended up with a new monster that took the primary trait from
the first monster you selected, and the sub trait from the second to form a
new monster (or was that vice versa) giving you a completely new monster
(maybe), because one of the other changes to the game was to exchange the
subtraits of your monster (land of origin in this game, monster type in the
old games).  For example a Zuum's traits were Zuum/Zuum, while a translucent
blue Zuum's traits would be Zuum/Gel.  Likewise the removal of many of my
favorite monster types is also a bummer, the addition of the Raiden and
(especially) Zan makes up for it.

I have so far beaten everything in the game, all four big 5 tourneys, and
the strongest of the monsters. (a few times actually), so if you have a CD
that you don't know what is on, e-mail me with a description of the shadow
that appears and I will tell you the monster associated with it if you
really want to know.

On to the Monster List.  If you have any info I don't please feel free
to send me updates. Monsters you see listed here in Ver 1 are only the
ones I felt like writing down:  just the interesting ones. ; )
Any and all updates will be listed though, so send as many as you like.

=======================================================================
                        List of Monster Genotypes
=======================================================================

Suezo:     A yellow ball with a tail, one BIG eye and a big
           mouth...  If it were purple with a horn.......
Mocchi:    A nauseatingly cute monster whose name literally refers to
           the ball of sticky rice wrapped in seaweed that it is named
           after.
Jell:      A blob of clear, blue gel/liquid.
Octopee:   It sort of looks like they took Q-bert, stuck long floppy
           ears on him, and gave him a blobby body with four blobby
           little legs.
Momo:      An anthropomorphic squirrel that carries a walnut
           everywhere.
Golem:     A colossal man made of stone.
Zoom:      A medium sized Dromaeosaur (Deinonychus and Velociraptor
           were Dromaesauridae) sans the eviscerating sickle claw.
Tiger:     A wolf with horns (?).... Why it is called tiger, I do not
           know.
Hare:      An anthropomorphic hare...  Kind of like a fat Bugs Bunny...
           A fat -brown- Bugs Bunny.
Mew:       Why did they have to pick this name?  Were they trying to
           confuse my friend who plays Pokemon?  In the previous games,
           they were called Cat Dolls.  They are basically little
           kitties.
Beaklon:   A cool big Stag Beetle.. Or Rhinoscerous Beetle....  Anyway,
           it is called Kabuto in Japanese.  I'm not sure who came
           first, Beaklon from MR2 or Megakabuterimon from Digimon, but
           who cares?
Dragon:    Dragon. 'nuff said, huh?  (you need to be A rank to breed
           these, though, so get to work. ; )
Dakkung:   Acompletely rediculous monster left over from MR2 (why, god,
           why?) that seems to be a duck made of colorful round(ish)
           blocks.  (egg shaped body)  (why did they have to omit the
           worm and leave this atrocity in the game?)
Baku:      A giant furry dog (Saint Bernard?)
Pixie:     A small (bat) winged girl with horns and a barbed tail. (I
           do miss all of the different variations of her from Monster
           Rancher 2)
Durahan:   A ghostly suit of armor.  In my humble opinion, one of the
           coolest monsters in the games.  It is a suit of armor with a
           cape and sword and no one inside.
           Rank A is needed to raise this monster.
Naga:      A humanoid torso on a serpentine lower body.  Nowhere near
           as cool as they used to be, but hey at least they kept them. 
           (My favorite is the Aspis, the desert/egyption Naga)
Color-     A trio of... creatures that used to be a caterpillar-like
Pandora:   monster in the previous game that only broke into its 
           component pieces during special attacks or after getting
           hit.  But.... One of its new animations has it in a very
           compromising position with one of its siblings.... ew.
           Just... ew.
Plant:     A Large bulb with leaves and roots and a huge flower.
Henger:    A Transforming Robot!  Too cool! Another of my favorites.
Zan:       Possibly the coolest monster of the entire game, maybe even
           the entire series.  I'll leave the description out because
           it is a secret monster that you need to release from a disc
           stone and I don't want to ruin it for you.
           I'll tell you how to do it at the end of the FAQ.
Lesione:   A small blue (sort of cute) Plesiosaur.  The name could
           possibly be taken from Nessie, the fabled Loch Ness Monster.
Suzurin:   Another impossibly cute monster.  This one seems to be made
           of small bells.  (hotel front desk)bell hat, bell arms, bell
           skirt.
Psiroller: A cutesy blue rhinocerous that rides around clutching onto
           a large tire.  It does have a pretty devestating attack
           called cannonball in which it tears off and zips around the
           world before ramming you.
Pancho:    A Pumpkin... A clamshell pumpkin with a cute little monster
           inside.
           For some reason, you need to be Rank B to raise this thing.
Mogi:      Snoopy?  With a cone shaped drill hat and huge front paws
           with big claws.
Raiden:    Another of my favored monsters, referred to as a Gryph in
           some mythos, as a tengu in others. It's not either actually,
           rather an anthropomorphic eagle.  Some of its other forms
           though...
Gitan:     The only cute monster I like.  Sort of a floating.. well...
           to me, it looks like a purple floating, cannibalistic devil
           bunny with a beaver-like tail.
Ogyo:      Another neat monster.  An incredibly feminine, pink, dolphin
           with long blond pigtails.
Joker:     Another very cool monster I shall with-hold the description
           of.  I will reveal the basics of how to unlock it at the end
           of the FAQ.

=======================================================================
                          Monsters found on CDs
=======================================================================

As stated before, these are not all of the monsters unlocked from my CD
collection, just the interesting ones I wrote down before I decided to
write an FAQ on them (and before I knew that you could pull them out of
the Encyclopedia ;) I will also list monsters by their description, not
their proper name, because unless you have already unlocked the monster,
you will have absolutely no idea what I am talking about, or what the
monster is.

                  Frequently Asked Questions (sort of)
=======================================================================

Nathan asks:
  I just got monster rancer 3, 2 days ago and I cant figure out how to
  get more training lands I have 2 the one you start out with and a
  sand one but I cant get any more. And I need to know how to get
  differnt trainging land it weird though I have 2 monsters of the fame
  of super hero and I still not get differnt training spots.
  `````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
Now, I can only speak for myself and two others here, but the areas
  seemed to open up as our fame as breeders went up.  Not only did they
  open up, but they opened fairly quickly. I had them all open by my
  third monster, my friend by his fourth.  Though, conversely, it may
  not have anything to do with fame at all, but how long you train in
  one spot.  My apologies for not having more detailed info on this,
  but I had already opened up all of the areas before I even considered
  posting an FAQ about the game.

Xboxattic asks:
  Ok, I have gotten 3 accessories from battles, yet they are just ???
  I don't know what to do to be able to use them.  I might have just
  missed something in the game, or it just might be explained later on,
  but for the sake of my sanity, do you know how to get the accessories
  usable?
  `````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
This actually had my friends and me perplexed for a while until I was
  entering a tournament and wondered why there was a picture of a specific
  monster. It took a moment for me to realize that the pictures on the
  tournament entry screen were telling me what kind of an accessory it
  was and what monster it was for.  Opening up more monster genotypes
  proved my theory correct, so there you go.

                           Miscellaneous Info
=======================================================================

Additional Training Areas:
  These become available as you gain fame as a breeder (or after you
  have spent a certain length of time in a particular area).  The order
  in which they become available seems to be random.
Additional Training Exercises:
  Monsters will occasionally open these up as you search for items and
  such during season changes.
Elemental Orbs and Bits:
  Available only through the Ran Ran ventures.  You will find the bits
  when you find the light of the earth.  You will find the Orbs when
  you fight and defeat the rare monsters that will ambush you while you
  search (random encounters while making individual searches).
Pachos, Dragons, and Durahans:
  Available after you have raised a monster above B and A ranks
  respectively.
Zan:
  I'm sure you would like this kept as a surprise, so I will reveal to
  you the location of the plot development.
  While you are training in Brillia (The snowfields) you will need to
  make your monster as powerful as you can for the rank that it is in,
  or if you want a challenge, dont.  In any case, once you and your
  monster's fame has risen high enough The encounters (plural) will
  begin. Stay there and it will come to pass.  Though if you want to
  know details, there are other FAQs out there with them, sorry.
Joker:
  Like above, you will need to be famous, but your monster will not
  need to be high ranked.  You will need to be training in Goat (The
  Ocean) and you will need to piss off a certain person (not hard, just
  kick their monster's ugly butt) They will make several more
  appearances, and let you in on a little secret.  This secret you can
  spread or keep, it doesn't matter.  Just make sure your monster is 
  extremely powerful for the rank that it is in (like A ranked stats
  for a C ranked monster, which is easy if you have a monster heart)
  Both Zan and Joker I unlocked with Drydon (nordic armor) before I
  defeated all 5 of the Big 5.
Jokers on CD:
  I currently don't own any CDs or DVDs with Jokers on them, so any
  clues to the titles would be greatly appreciated.
Getcheffy contributes:
  Not sure, but I think Monster Rancher Battle Card is a Joker
  <Thanks, Getcheffy>
Any other Info you need:
  I can't gaurantee that I'll reply to all e-mails, but if you do have
  any questions, and I can answer them, I'll post them in the FAQ
