Treeface

Tronc-bine · no. 77 in the monster list

Everything is read from the game's code, unless stated otherwise

These troublesome trees lower MP with Weird Dance and can cure with the medicinal herbs that blossom in their branches.

They often hide in the forest so they can pounce on and punish people who think it's clever to carve their initials into trees.

Habitat (in-game monster list)

Lonely Coast · Heights of Loneliness

In the game, a defeated monster's entry names one of these places as soon as you have visited it, even if you never defeated that monster there; otherwise “?????????” (checked in game). The first two are named, “Etc.” for the third.

In the field

Behaviour: spots the party all around it up to 3.5 units, then chases it, but runs away if the leader's attack + defence exceed 3 times its own.

In each cell: share of the visible monsters in that zone, then (in brackets) share of that zone's battles it takes part in, alone or with others. “Joins”: never visible, it only comes along with the monster you touched. “In the forest”, “on the coast”…: which monsters appear depends on the ground under the hero's feet (grass, forest, coast, rocky ground, swamp…); with no detail, they appear anywhere on the map. “Starflight Express stop”, “islet”, “part”: a separate corner of the region, reached as shown. Exact figures from the game code.
