The most uncommon and challenging to recruit are monsters with a rainbow frame.

You can examine a monster's characteristics, resistances, traits, favourite items, abilities

A monster species can carry more loot than a monster, and each one specialises in a different field.

As long as Erik and Mia's exploits are publicised, monsters will form their own gang

[{"selector":"#anim-bc1de689-9a8b-410f-9b8c-00bef181319a","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-113.4375%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.2, 0, .8, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-0a454244-05db-4561-895d-0f5abb8b6911","keyframes":{"transform":["rotateZ(-180deg)","rotateZ(0deg)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.2, 0, .5, 1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-85313023-c084-4d86-929c-ee3d7b638e7a [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.14,.34,.47,.9)","fill":"forwards"}] Credit: Square Enix
