* CaptureBalls: Cocoon Masters trap wild {{Mons}} inside silk cocoons as part of the process of taming them. Playing MagicMusic on a musical instrument during the capture calms the beast enough for the cocoon to seal it, then a Nagi shaman can purify the cocoon of evil and make the beast inside a loyal servant of the cocoon master.

%%* ArrangedMarriage: Mahbu and Levant.

to:

%%* * ArrangedMarriage: Mahbu, as a Nagi woman, is destined to marry a Nagi man, like Levant, so he can become a Cocoon Master and she can purify his cocoons. However, the trope is subverted because Levant and Mahbu and Levant.already like each other, meaning that there's none of the tension usually associated with the Arranged Marriage trope. It can't really be considered a PerfectlyArrangedMarriage, either, because it lacks the part of that trope where they hated each other as kids before coming to love each other as adults.

* OneStatToRuleThemAll: Speed affects how quickly Minions act in combat. A fast Minion might get 1.5-2 turns for every 1 turn of a slower Minion. That alone makes Speed very powerful, but it ''also'' improves accuracy with physical attacks and the chance to dodge enemy physical attacks (magic attacks always hit).

Added DiffLines:

* EarthWindJuxtaposition: Each of the 4 classical elements is associated with a strategy in battle. Air [[{{Mons}} minions]] tend to be fragile {{Combat Pragmatist}}s who rely on enemy weakening attacks, inflicting StandardStatusEffects such as Sleep, Blind, Poison or Confuse or reducing their enemies' defense stats. Earth minions have a focus on {{Status Buff}}s and defense, and have abilities like boosting their allies' defenses, summoning a stone wall to prevent enemy attacks, and attacks that get stronger if used on consecutive turns.

* CopyAndPasteEnvironments: The Netherworld Forests have the exact same layout of the normal forests, with only palette swaps and new monsters.
* CreatureBreedingMechanic: There's a Merging mechanic that allows you to fuse two minions together. The resulting minion's body-shape and color scheme will be blends of its parents, with the shape primarily of the first parent, and the colors primarily of the second. It will try to have the special attacks and elemental attributes of both, but there are restrictions (ie: your special claw attack can only every deal one type of elemental damage; fusing a monster with a special fire claw attack and a special water claw attack will yield either one of those, or a NonElemental claw attack).
