================================================================================================= Final Fantasy VIII for Sony Playstation Creature Guide Written by Mordruk(Mordruk@hotmail.com) Version .01(11/12/99) Copyright 1999 ================================================================================================= INDEX ================================================================================================= 1-Author 2-Introduction to Guide 3-Key 4-Creatures 5-Coming up! 6-Copyright ================================================================================================= 1-AUTHOR ================================================================================================= I am Mordruk, just a name that I made up one day when I was bored and it stuck with me. I have written many other FAQs for GameFAQs for games like Donkey Kong, Darkstone, Soul Reaver: Legacy of Kain, Sonic Adventure, Blue Stinger, and 2 others for Final Fantasy VIII. If you have any comments, suggestions, questions, additions, etc about this creature guide please E-mail me at Mordruk@hotmail.com. Please read my copyright below even if you aren't planning on posting this guide. Thanks and I hope you find this guide helpful. ================================================================================================= 2-INTRODUCTION TO GUIDE ================================================================================================= This is going to be a very long guide since there are many, many monsters in this game but I'm going to update it every day and not just the weekends unlike my other FAQs on GameFAQs. This guide will include all the information including it's weaknesses, HP range, AP, a description which is straight from the game, draw spells, and it's strengths and/or special abilities, and many other things. Thankyou for reading this. Special thanks to RPGKING33@aol.com for suggesting using | instead of I for my columns:) ================================================================================================= 3-KEY ================================================================================================= Here is how each monster will be setup in a table. This will make it much easier to read. I put some notes that explain some of the numbers or symbols I put so here are the explanations. Note 1: 4=absorbs, 3=doesn't work, 2=works well, 1=normal effect, 2+=kills instantly Note 2: HP rounded to 100s. Note 3: This magic is based on the monster at level 30+, below level 30 are different magics.
