Once upon a time a young SaGa player had no knowledge of how to effectively use
a monster. He wasted many hours of his life that could have been used for other
pursuits, such as learning the process of fine cheese making, or practicing the
long forgotten art of thumb-jitsu. Finally he came along some helpful websites
and learned enough to make some sense of the ever elusive secrets of the
Monster race in Saga Frontier. But this information was incomple, and widely
inaccurate. Inspiration smacked him upside the head like a baseball bat wielded
by an unnamed sports star souped up on steroids. "I know" said he to himself,
"I shall make the FAQ to end all FAQ's about Monsters!" He set of on the long,
tiresome, sometimes tedious, always enlighting course of action, and even
started leaning a tongue that was previously foreign to him to aid him on his
quest. What is gracing your computer screen is the tome of knowledge that has
been gathered on the subject, and we all have this young sage to thank for his
efforts.
OK, so that was a Super-Nerd way to open this FAQ, but what the hey, we're
RPGers! This FAQ is made with the intention of taking all the thinking out of
Monster development, and helping you create the monster you've always suspected
was out there, without forcing you to spend hours upon hours of testing just to
come to the realization that you were given the wrong tips. This FAQ is the one
stop place for all your questions.
Take this as your one and only warning: You will come out of this FAQ knowing
everything about Monsters. EVERYTHING. If you have a lot of fun finding out
this kind of stuff on your own, hit that little X in the top right of this
window and never look back.
Another note, most of this stuff is not my own work. Some of it is from a
Japanese website: www.uri.sakura.ne.jp/~saga/sf1/index.html. Some of it is from
the helpful people on the community boards at GameFaqs.com and Neoseeker.com.
Some of it is from the Brady Guide (I checked everything and fixed any errors
that were printed in their guide). Some of it is from the FAQ's that are on the
aforementioned websites. And finally, some of it I have actually discovered on
my own (although I don't claim to be the first or only person to have this
knowledge). Everything in this FAQ has been tested and confirmed by Yours Truly
, unless otherwise noted.

The Monster race is something truly unique to SaGa Frontier, and by that very
nature is foreign. Just getting started with the Monster race in SaGa Frontier
can be a hopeless endeavour without a little bit of guidance. Everything seems
so random. One minute you are a semi weak form, then you're ultra powerful,
then you are weaker than your first form. You try to come up with all sorts of
crazy and complicated theories (maybe if I can just absorb them alphabetically
when the planets are aligned), and none of them seem to explain it. I know, I
was there too. Now you can leave the theory developing to Astronomers and
Physicists. Here's how they work. . .
-Monster Form-
Your monster's form is based on two things: 1) What skills you have absorbed,
and 2)Your current HP right before the absorb. The higher your current HP, the
more likely you are to become a more powerful form, as long as you have the
skills needed, that is. That's all there is to it. Your first objective is to
go around collecting the skills you need to become a powerful monster. Find the
Required Skills in section 3, and the list of where to absorb the skills in
section 4. Some of these requirements defy logic, so you'll just have to accept
them and move on.
-Monster HP-
Your current HP is actually made up of 2 values: 1) your Prime HP and 2) your
form's Base HP. Your prime HP is like your monsters "Essense" somewhat, in that
it can be raised, and is always carried over. It's the only true "Level Up"
that a monster has. Prime HP is raised by 4 each time you absorb a skill that
you have never absorbed before. If you're playing as Riki for instance, he
starts out with 3 skills, so his Prime HP is 12. His Lummox form has a Base HP
value of 60, so when you add these two together, you get Riki's actual starting
HP, which is 72. If your first fight is with a Ghost and you absorb Deathsynth-
esis, you turn into a Skeleton. You just absorbed a skill you never had before,
so now your Prime HP is 16. Add this to the Skeleton's Base HP and you will end
up with your Current HP, which is 71. So your second mission, should you choose
to accept it, is to go around collecting as many skills possible to raise your
Prime HP.
-Skills & Morphing-
The bottom slot of the Monster's skill list is used to absorb new skills, and
anything in that slot will be lost when a new skill is absorbed. Now take the
above example with the Skeleton. You could move the Deathsynthesis skill out
of the bottom slot and up into one of your other 7 slots. This will make it so
that you don't lose that skill when you absorb another skill. Monsters have no
way of sealing their skills like Humans, Mystics, and Mecs, so If you want them
to keep a skill, move it up out of that last slot. If you wanna ditch a skill,
move it into the bottom slot and it will be traded for another skill the next
time you absorb one.
Each time you absorb a skill two things happen. First, all of your WP and JP
are replenished. This is a very cool aspect of the monster race. And second,
your monster's skills are cross-referenced to see if a new form is aquired, and
if so, you morph. If not, you just chill. Placing the skills for the form you
desire at the top seems to net better results.
You're also going to want to have a variety of skills in your line-up so you're
not stuck doing the same-ol same-ol. In addition to the skills needed to keep
your desired form, you want a powerful single attack skill, a powerful multi-
attack skill, a healing skill, and maybe a defensive barrier or other helpful
miscellaneous skill. Tips on selecting your line-up can be found in section 6.
-Equipment-
In addition, you have 4 equipment slots that can only be used to equip
accessories. Your monster's defense is like that of a third world country dur-
ing a foggy night when it starts out, but you learn to deal with it. In
addition to these 4 slots for equipping your favorite jewels, there are also 4
hidden slots that actually hold hidden equipment unique to each monster's form.
This info can be found in section 5.
As you can see, the monster race is vastly different from the other races in
SaGa Frontier, and even other RPG's. It's truly a unique and gratifying race
to play. Now that you got the basics down, lets boogie!

This is the part that you will probably find yourself referencing time after
time. I tried to make everything easily legible and easily indexed, although
there are limitaions when using this limited type of medium. The entries are
organized in the same manner as that of both the Brady Guide and the Japanese
website http://www.uri.sakura.ne.jp/~saga/sf1/transform/index.html. This
section is a combination of a translation of the Japanese website (available
here for those who are illiterate as far as Japanese goes), and my own research
on Base HP and all of the other stats. I've personally tested everything here
(unless otherwise stated) and it all works.
You will find that some entries have more than one "body." The only difference
with these are the required skills or HP conditions. All the actual stats are
the same.
BHP is the Base Hit Points for that form, and are just like any other stat. We
all know that each time a skill is absorbed, your monster's prime HP is raised
by 4. So you would simply add your monster's Prime HP with the Base HP of the
form to get the final HP.
A Monsters Defense is attained from actual hidden equipped armour. Each monster
has equipped a maximum of 4 items, and I have included a list of each monsters
hidden armour here. This information has been translated from
http://www.uri.sakura.ne.jp/~saga/sf1/transform/index.html. I fixed a few
errors that I found, but everything else seems legit.
The defense summary section is an explanation of the defense of the Monster.
The Defense score that we see in the stat area is only the score vs. Slashing
type attacks, and there are different scores for each of the different types:
Slashing; Bludgeoning; Piercing; Heat; Cold; Thunder; and Light.
The HP Cond, is the maximum amount of hit points allowed for this form to be a
viable transformation. I'm working on getting the minimums, but that's going to
take quite awhile. A HP Cond. of NONE means that you don't have to worry about
Min/Max HP. As long as you have these skills, you are guarunteed a transform-
ation. An HP cond. of ??? means that there is no Max requirement.
The skills needed section is pretty simple. If there are two or more skills
next to each other seperated by a slash, then either skill will do. If the
skills are stacked vertically, then both are required. For instance, the
UnicornJr. form will be available if you have MagicHeal AND either Horn or
CharmGaze.
The Notes section may have special tips or Cynicastic (Cynical + Sarcastic)
remarks purely for entertainment value. These views are not necessarily those
of the sponsoring website.

___________________|
Notes: Ahh, the Creme de le Creme, the Dullahan. One of my top two favorites
of all forms in existance. The only thing that keeps it from being my
absolute favorite is that the skills it needs always make it morph into
really weak monsters, like the LiquidMetal for body type A, and KillerBee
for body type B. Body A can be pretty unstable. I find myself using Stone-
Gaze, IceSmash, Deathsynthesis, and adding CharmGaze to make it stable
(thanks to CaptainJ for that tip). Body B has that durned hard to get
Siren, and all of it's skills are pretty weak.

'55. .55
'55555'
The first four lists are something that I can take full credit for, and are
something I am actually quite proud of. There are no assumptions in these lists
and all are guarunteed to be accurate. A lot of hard work was put into these
lists, so if you see me walking down the street, I expect a high-five from you.
The next one has been translated (of course) from http://www.uri.sakura.ne.jp/
~saga/sf1/transform/kyusyu.html It seems to be nearly perfect, but there are a
couple of unidentified errors, so until I find them, I'll keep it the way they
have it.
===============================================================================
5.1 Absorbable Skills Sorted by Monster
This list is all the skills that your friendly neighborhood monster can absorb
from an enemy monster. I have tried to organize them in frequency of occurence,
so with the Basilisk it is easiest to absorb Horn, and hardest to absorb Poison
Gas, and PoisonGrip is easier to absorb than StoneGaze. It seems that each
enemy monster only has 4 skills available for absorbtion, which is something
that many of the experts at GameFaq's community agree on and accept as fact. I
have come up with this list by absorbing the skill and then writing it down.
There are no assumptions here - They are all true and valid (although it might
take hours to get a desired skill from a certain monster).

This is the contra-list of the above, organized by skill rather than monster.
Use this list when you simply can't find where to absorb SacredSong, or when
that one monster simply won't give up and you have to look womewhere else.
The monsters in this list aren't organized in any particular order, so don't
waste time making assumptions like AcidBreath is easier to absorb from the
Gaeatoad than the Trapvine. Even though this may be true, it's not that way
for everything, and for me to organize it that way would be borderline OCD.

5.3 Skills Used in Forms
This list is organized by skill, and the Monsters are actually friendly Monster
forms that require that particular skill in at least one of their forms. This
list was built with the following intentions:
1. Planning Ahead - You just absorbed a somewhat rare skill and want to
see if you should keep it and collect others to make it work for you.
2. Troubleshooting - You keep changing into that damned Manticore form
and can't figure out why. Check all the skills in your current line-
up and you'll find which skill you need to ditch.
3. Stabalizing - You can stabalize your monster if you have more than
the minimum requirements. Also, if you toss in some other skills that
aren't used in any forms, they can clear your line-up of
interuptions.

5.4 Skill Checklist
So, you've become this obsessive that you want to absorb every skill in the
game, and you need a way of tracking it? Me too. Just copy and paste this
list onto notepad, or even Word and print it out for easy use. If you want to
get REALLY crazy you could even put footnotes in a tiny font under each skill
of where to absorb it from (I'm not even that obsessive). Make sure to use size
10 font and Courier New font type so it will stay nice and tidy.

5.5 Pre-Absorbed Skills
Ok, so this one wasn't my own doing. I am translating it from that Japanse
website again: http://www.uri.sakura.ne.jp/~saga/sf1/transform/kyusyu.html
You may have noticed that the first skill you absorbed turned your monster into
a familiar form, but the BaseHP doesn't seem to add up. Your PrimeHP by your
records should be 12, but there is something wrong with the calculation. This
is because your monster there has some pre-absorbed skills. You won't get 4 HP
added to your PrimeHP if you absorb it again, so it's good to know what these
skills are so you're not wasting time hunting down skills you already have
factored into your PrimeHP.
When there are different HP listed, add all the skills from the previous
number too. If Riki has 88 HP, then he has Tail, TailHit, Heal, Photosynthesis,
Deathsynthesis, BoomerangHook, and CentipedeCrush previously absorbed. It's for
this reason you may want to wait a bit to recruit Riki or Cotton because next
time around they may have more skills absorbed, saving you some work.
Many thanks go to those hard working Japanese SaGa fans out there!

6.1 Pro-Tips
As you play around with monsters more and more you'll get acquainted with the
little odds and ends that give tremendous help on your journey. The list part
of this is in no particular order.
* Plan ahead. Figure out what form you want to have for the final boss and keep
an eye out for monsters that potentially have your coveted skill.
* Be Flexible. Sometimes it's going to take way more effort than you feel like
contributing to get the skill or form you want. Either hang in there, or
consider a different path. Also, if a really good skill comes your way, think
about using it in your line-up. There have been a couple of times that I
trashed a skill and wound up regretting it.
* Don't be anxious to fill those slots. When you first recruit a monster, don't
sit there and think "cool, I've got 5 empty slots to fill." Be choosy with
what you add, becuase the fewer skills you have in your line-up, the more
stable of a form you'll have. You might even want to swap out your starting
skills before adding in more.
* Have a ready alternate form. Slap on an extra skill that will easily get you
back on track when you loose your main form. For instance, when I have a
skill set for a Thundragon, I like to add BoltBarrier in the mix so that when
I do morph out of Thundragon, I'll morph into a Gelatin. The Gelatin form
then sets me back up for the Thundragon form. Thunder's starting skill set is
another example of this, going in between Ogre and TrisaurJr. There is more
detail on this topic later on. (Thanks to BoYuen for this tip, and the
inspiration to take it further.)
* Know how to equip. Tossing on a bunch of EMES Tags might help out a bit in
the Slashing defense area, but there are better uses for those 4 accessory
slots. Use them for stat boosts, and elemental and status protection, such as
HarmoniumEarring for sonic,and SeaStone for Water. This will be much more
beneficial, as enemies more often than not use these types of attacks anyway.
(Thanks to AyaBraya for this tip). The next tip goes along with this one...
* Know your weaknesses and strengths. There's no use to have a HarmoniumEarring
equipped on your Dullahan when they're immune to sonic damage by default. The
same goes for the Mariche and Gaze attacks, and the Shreiker and water
attacks. More on this later on.
* Equip for the task. If you know you won't be going up against any water using
monsters, then switch your PearlHeart out for something better. Don't forget
that your accessories aren't static, and you can accessorize for the task.
* Don't hang on to low cost skills. Unless they are required for your form,
that is. Monsters regenerate WP with every absorb. I think I can recall one
time in my entire monster playing carreer that I actually had a monster with
0 WP. Monsters also have a very high WP total when compared to Humans and
Mystics of the same general power level, so this isn't even a real danger.
The low cost skills can also fudge up your desired form too, so toss out
those low cost skills, unless required for your form. . . Right. (Thanks
to AyaBraya's FAQ for this one.)
* MagicHeal is a pre-emptive skill. That's right, if you select this one, it's
coming right out there with the Shield spell and QuickDraw gun attacks. This
can be a very reliable way to save the day for yourself, or a comrade. It
even works on Mecs - albeit not as well as on the other races.
* You don't always have to absorb the monster. Some people are stuck in the rut
of loosing forms and having a hard time trying to get it back. Their problem?
They absorb every single monster that comes thier way. While this can help
build your Prime HP, once you have all 4 skills from a monster, you don't
need to mess with absorbing it again. Take this for example. You finally got
that Zeroworm form you've been working on for hours, and then a Manticore
enemy comes your way. You have already absorbed the skills Needles, Scream,
Beetlejuice, and StinkGas, so absorbing this Manticore won't do anything but
upset your form. Pass it by this time and wait for something else.
* Get familiar with your "Form Neutral" Skills. These skills are ones that do
not have anything to do with your form, but can either not upset your form,
or return you back to your form. Take for instance the BlackDragon form -
Needles won't upset that form, and if its not in BlackDragon form, absorbing
Needles will most likely return it to BlackDragon form. All you would need to
do is to pick a fight with a plant-type scientist in the Bio Lab. The same
goes for the Dullahan and the Blade skill. Just flick a Zyphon's ear in the
Bio Lab and you should get your form back. This also works for a WP/JP refill
if you're already in your form. Take note of what skills turn you back into
your form and find an easy spot to get them.
* Diversify your enemies. Unless you are happy with your PrimeHP, never EVER
get stuck in the rut of fighting mainly one or two types of enemies, like
just Aquatics in Yorkland. You could be completely bypassing some enemies in
the tier you're in, and consequently be cheating yourself out of many hard to
get skills.
===============================================================================
6.2 Finding Rare Monsters
Some monsters can be really difficult to find, borderline impossible, or in all
reality, Unique. Hopefully I can shed some light in the dark corners where they
hide.
Unicorn: There is a Unicorn breeding gound underneath Koorong! About mid game
in the room right above where the caves are, are fairies that change into a
different monster type as you pass them. Let the first one change into an
animal-type and then you go kill that Unicorn! The next fairy will do the same.
The great thing is that this room tops out at Unicorns, so they're always
available. KittyKickers can also be found here with the Unicorns.
Wyvern: Every bird-type monster near Dr. Nusaken's lab is a Wyvern, which can
be invaluable late game when you need that Fang skill to get your BlackDragon
form.
Basilisk: They can be found about 1 in 10 battles with the CrystalTrees in the
BioLab in Shrike. There's a point when they are the only monster that shows up
in the Yorkland Swamp, but you have to catch them at the right time.
Sphinx: I don't have much of a problem finding them in Wakatu, but they are
also found in the Koorong Caves.
Suzaku: Bottom floor of the Bio Research Lab in Shrike. It's the left side
scientist in the closest building to the staircase.
BlackDragon: Aside from the cave in Mosperiberg, the best place I've found them
is hanging out with the Chimera's in the Bio Lab. The scientist to the far
right in the first room is a Chimera.
GriffinJr.: The only place I've ever seen them is hanging out with the Sirens
in Sei's Tomb. Fight the fairies in there and hope for the best.
Waterfolk: Same as GriffinJr.
Platyhooks: This monster can be found as a sub-boss in both Riki's and Red's
quests. The only other place you can find them is by opening the small chest
in Mu's Tomb, and even then you only have a 1% chance of encountering them. If
you're REALLY wanting to find them, I suggest getting to the chest, saving, and
then opening it. It saves more time than heading over to Devin and messing with
the fortune tellers every time.
Minotaur: Its one of the monsters in the first room in Timelords Realm.
DemonGoat: One of the last monsters in Timelords realm, just to the right of
the bridge.
PrimaBronza: In the middle of Timelords Realm, it's the two female sprite.
RockBabboon: In Timelords Realm you can find two of them together on the Gemeni
sign. There also is a couple of them in Shingrow on one of the trapped doors.
Ettin: Every Giant-Type sprite is an Ettin in Furdo's Workshop, just have the
fairies remove the stone state from them.
