5	[[folder: Koh's Family]]
6	!!Shared Tropes
7	* AllThereInTheManual: The ages. Guy was 27 [[spoiler: before he died, 7 years before the actual plot]], and Wreath is 34. Koh is obviously 15 by the time the game occurs, [[ComingOfAgeStory 15 being the age he needs to be before he is allowed to go into the Monster Tower]], and Weedy is about 6.
8	* BadassFamily: Koh and Guy are infamous monster hunters. Wreath is the mother that is fine with their wild adventures, and makes sure to help out Koh by giving him a Pita, saving the game, and putting stuff in storage. Weedy's the most minor one, with the Monster Book that gives you information about monsters.
9	* OnlyOneName: One of the odder examples, considering all the girlfriends in the game have last names. [[MyFriendsAndZoidberg And Ghosh]].
10
11	!!Koh
12	[[quoteright:205:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Koh_2_4168.png]]
13	[[caption-width-right:205:The hero of this story]]
14	TheHero, a young boy who desires to go to the Monster Tower not only to earn money for his family, but discover his father's fate.
15	----
16	* AllLovingHero: Even after being treated like dirt all his life, once Koh works up some money in the tower, you can earn the respect of absolutely everyone in the town, with the exception of Ghosh... and at one point the two of you can work together to cheer Vivian up. Koh will pay for the construction/refurbishing of almost every public entertainment building, plus the church and the library, out of his own pocket. He'll find an impossibly rare herb to cure Cherrl, and eventually someone will even start selling shirts with Koh's face on them.
17	* AnimeHair: Gets it from his dad.
18	* BadBadActing: Depending on the player's decisions, this can be the result of the play he can do. If he messes up three times, he gets knocked out. Regardless, the comedy skit itself doesn't seem to be that great.
19	* BadassNormal: Though the intro mentions he is chosen by Heaven to be a great hero, other than being good with monsters Koh otherwise has no magical abilities and seems downright weak compared to the other characters who explore the tower. He still becomes the most powerful hero in the town.
20	* TheBeastmaster: It seems that he inherited his father's ability to have great control over familiars.
21	* BewareTheNiceOnes: Just because he's good with the ladies and adores his family doesn't mean he's a weak fighter.
22	* BigBrotherInstinct: Part of the reason he goes to the tower is to find enough treasure to provide for his little sister Weedy. And eventually he provides for/improves the entire town.
23	* BigEater: Seems to be able to eat quite a lot if Patti's sidequest is any indication.
24	* BrokenAce: He's talented and eventually beloved by all of the ladies and the townspeople, but there are times where it's obvious that his father's death still weighs heavily on his heart, [[spoiler: especially when he finds out that Beldo killed him.]]
25	* TheCasanova: Since he can get all the girls in his game to be his girlfriend, excluding his own family and random npcs, it's no surprise he's this.
26	* CaughtWithYourPantsDown: To describe it better, caught bathing outside. Two girls will sometimes walk while Koh is bathing in the first house you get, and will giggle seeing him bathe. Koh doesn't seem too embarrassed by this.
27	* ChickMagnet: While not at first, later in the game becomes one. '''Big time.'''
28	* ChildhoodFriends: With Nico, the two have known each other since they were little kids.
29	* ChildProdigy: The first hunter in a long time to be able to climb the tower, and only at the age of 15.
30	* TheChosenOne: He is chosen by God no less from what the angel in the intro says.
31	* ComingOfAgeStory: The game officially begins when Koh is 15, and is allowed to enter the monster tower.
32	* CoveredInKisses: If the largest house size is obtained, there's a possible 4 girls that kiss him before he can even ''step out of the door''. Oddly enough, they seem fine in sharing him.
33	* CurtainsMatchTheWindows: His red eyes match his firy red hair.
34	* DrunkOnMilk: [[spoiler: Technically it's cola, but Koh still passes out from it.]]
35	* ElementalPunch: If he lacks a weapon, he can still use his own fist in combination with mixture magic.
36	* GeniusBruiser: He's strong and has to use strategy to maneuver through the tower.
37	* GreaterNeedThanMine: He can use his money to help people and the town grow and flourish.
38	* HeavySleeper
39	* HeroicMime: Only a little bit. He speaks through the player's decision in what he'll say, but otherwise has no dialogue of his own.
40	* JumpedAtTheCall: The very day he hits 15, he seeks to become an adventurer. Kewne has to stop him and point out he doesn't know what he's doing before he enters and hurts himself.
41	* LikesOlderWomen: With Selfi, Fur, and Vivian anyways.
42	** Inverted with Patti and Mia, the youngest of the girls. Averted with Nico and Cherrl, who are the only ones the same age as Koh.
43	* LineageComesFromTheFather: Subverted, but only at first. Once Koh reaches the higher levels, everyone starts comparing him to his legendary father.
44	* LovedByAll: Selfi will eventually admit she loves you despite her brother's protests, Mia will [[StalkerWithACrush stalk you everywhere you go]], Cherrl will defend your honour until she faints from it, and Nico has been taken with you since you were kids.
45	* MegatonPunch: He can do a lot of damage using only his fist, especially if he gets a critical hit.
46	* NiceGuy: Helps build up the town. He's also this to a few girlfriends and is very attentive and devoted to his mother and little sister.
47	* OneHeadTaller: Much taller than either Mia or Cherrl, but granted, the two are very short.
48	* PlayingWithFire: When Koh uses fire element orbs.
49	* RedOniBlueOni: Despite their coloring, this is inverted with Koh and Nico, considering that he's the Blue Oni to her Red Oni. However, this is played straight with Koh and Ghosh, considering that he's the Red Oni to Ghosh's Blue Oni.
50	* RedEyesTakeWarning: Koh himself isn't evil, but Fur seems to think his eyes are "wild".
51	* TheRival: To Ghosh, though Ghost himself is the one more fervent in pursuing the rivalry due to his envy of Koh.
52	* SmoochOfVictory: Koh gets these every time he escapes the tower, and one of his girlfriends wakes him up in the morning.
53	* StrongFamilyResemblance: To his father, Guy. He even inherited his father's [[AnimeHair hair style.]]
54	* SuperReflexes: Will sometimes jump aside when he gets attacked, time pausing for a second to show that he knows the attack is coming and dodges it. Better exemplified with Bow Trolls, whose attacks Koh has a higher chance of dodging.
55	* TeenGenius: Which directly places him in this category.
56	* TookALevelInBadass: The once annoying kid who everyone looks down upon eventually becomes a celebrity, going to higher floors than anyone else (aside from Guy). He even gets popular enough to have people freak out by his presence, and later on they make T-shirts with his face on them. He can even potentially get SEVEN different girlfriends, some of which looked down upon him before. They're even fine with sharing him. Looks like Guy spread some of his badassery to his son.
57	* WildChild: Apparently in appearance, if Fur's teasing speech gives any indication.
58
59	!!Guy
60	[[quoteright:208:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Guy_2_6239.png]]
61	[[caption-width-right:208:Koh's famous father]]
62	A monster tamer who was a legend before his mysterious disappearance.
63	----
64	* TheAce: Could do almost no wrong in his adventuring.
65	* TheBeastmaster: Is said to have had legendary ability to control monsters. That doesn't mean he was weak on his own, however.
66	* CoolSword: [[spoiler: Soul Shooter/Seraphim, his trademark sword.]]
67	* CurtainsMatchTheWindows
68	* DisappearedDad: One of the reasons Koh climbs the tower: To discover the fate of his father.
69	%%* GoOutWithASmile
70	* HappilyMarried: To Wreath. Had two children with her, and did his best to keep up funds to support her and Koh [[spoiler: before he died, which they were forced to sell all those monster.]]
71	* HeroicSacrifice: Guy chose to stop Beldo from using the Ultimate Egg at the top of the tower for his own evil purposes, and died in the process.
72	* MeaningfulEcho: The statement that he gives Koh on how he shouldn't be mean to women, and instead that a man should be the one taking care of them, helps solidify a ton of Koh's character. Koh even mentions it to Nico when she offers to let him punch her in the arm, that he shouldn't because she is a woman.
73	--> '''Guy''': Listen Koh. A man must take good care of women.
74	* PosthumousCharacter: By the time Koh goes on his adventure, Guy is long dead. One of the big mysteries is ''how'' he died.
75	* StrongFamilyResemblance: To his son, Koh.
76
77	!!Wreath
78	Guy's wife and Koh's doting mother.
79	----
80	* HappilyMarried: With Guy. Had two kids with him, and from what little we see, Wreath was geniunely sad when [[spoiler: Guy died.]]
81	* {{Housewife}}: Happily took up this role and remains a homemaker to support her children.
82	* OpenMindedParent: Understandably, she's fine with Koh adventuring in the Monster Tower, because Guy was always hunting in the monster tower himself.
83	** Both [[SubvertedTrope subverted]] and played straight with Koh's girlfriends. She comments that many are great help around the house, but otherwise [[LampshadeHanging lampshades]] [[http://i.imgur.com/ZRAHt.png the fact he has so many.]]
84	* SavePoint: One of the few purposes she serves.
85	* SomeoneToRememberHimBy: Pregnant with Weedy at the time that [[spoiler: Guy dies.]]
86	* StayInTheKitchen: A literal use of this trope, as she never leaves the kitchen. The one time we don't see her in the kitchen is at the very beginning when she gives birth to Koh.
87	* StrongFamilyResemblance: While less so than Guy and Koh, her daughter has the same hair and eye color. It's likely Weedy would resemble Wreath more as she gets older.
88
89	!!Weedy
90	[[quoteright:136:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Weedy_2_987.png]]
91	[[caption-width-right:136:A mischievous monster fanatic]]
92	Koh's little sister, with a big monster book.
93	----
94	* BadassBookworm: Is quite a bit smarter than you would expect someone of her age to be, and it is thanks to all of her reading.
95	* CoolBigSis: Seems to be fine with the fact that Koh has so many girlfriends due to viewing them as this, but could possibly be a bit annoyed that they steal all his attention away.
96	--> '''Weedy''': (In the post-game, when the girls do a dogpile on Koh) It's always the same.
97	* ExpositionFairy: A variation of one, considering her monster book tells you everything you need to know about the monsters.
98	* GenkiGirl: If the way she wakes up Koh is any indication, while she jumps on him. Her sprite shows that she never stands still.
99	--> '''Weedy''': Get up! Yup! Up! P!
100	* GoodMorningCrono: She will wake Koh up at the beginning of the game along with Nico, will be the only one waking him up when Nico gets upset at him, and also wakes up Koh after he talks to Beldo, where a girl will be standing near the door (usually Nico), but won't wake you up themselves. That being said, she's basically a little alarm clock.
101	* GreatBigBookOfEverything: Has a monster book that you can look at to learn more about monsters you've already encountered, in or out of the town.
102	* SomeoneToRememberHimBy: The opening cutscene when Wreath is worrying about Guy shows that she was pregnant with Weedy at the time.
103	* StrongFamilyResemblance: While more minor than Koh's, she does have the same hair and eye color as her mother.
104
105	!!Kewne
106	[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/psx_kwene_9905.jpg]]
107	[[caption-width-right:250:Koh's newest partner]]
108	A mysterious monster that joins Koh on his quest.
109	----
110	* BadassAdorable: A small adorable critter who is one of the better monsters in the game.
111	* BewareTheNiceOnes: [[spoiler: Turns out to be a henchman to Beldo all along. Although he gets even when the tables are turned.]]
112	* BodyHorror: [[spoiler:Beldo uses his magic to make Kewne his literal right arm after he loses it.]]
113	* CrutchCharacter: The first monster Koh gets, and even explains the game's dungeon mechanics. Even as the first monster, he's good enough to keep for the entire game if one desires, but is otherwise weaker than a couple of the later monsters.
114	* DivingKick: Does a variation when he attacks a monster below him. He'll drop towards the ground, and then send a kick towards the monster.
115	* TheDragon: [[spoiler:He ''was'' this to Beldo.]]
116	* FusionDance: When he fuses with another monster, he will always be the head one, no matter what. He doesn't change in appearance when he changes type either.
117	* TheGogglesDoNothing: Has a pair of goggles on his head, but he's never seen using them.
118	* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler:After Beldo is defeated.]]
119	* JackOfAllStats: Has average stats, with the exception being pretty high MP. This doesn't make him bad by any means, however, and you can build his health points up by giving him a medicinal herb when his health is full to increase his maximum hit points just like every other monster .
120	* LastOfHisKind: Potentially. Apparently his species was a popular monster at one point. In the game however, he is the only one seen.
121	* TheMole: Not by choice, however.
122	* PermanentlyMissableContent: If you don't forgive Kewne for momentarily betraying you in the end, he'll fly away sadly. By doing this, you never see Kewne again, and will never find another.
123	* PlayingWithFire: You can change his element, but he always starts off as a fire based monster. He also comes with the spell Brid, that causes him to breath out a bullet of fire.
124	* RollingAttack: His standard attack is rolling into a blue and yellow striped ball and hurling himself at the enemy.
125	* SeriesMascot: Even though Azure Dreams is a single game, he's still the one for Azure Dreams.
126	* TalkingAnimal: While most of the monsters in the tower are implied to have human level intelligence and sentience, Kewne is the only one who actually speaks.
127	* TeamPet: Becomes accepted by Koh's family and friends as this.
128	* TooImportantToWalk: He always flies around, even when you're in town.
129	* UseYourHead: Uses a headbutt upwards if the monster is a step above him.
130	* VerbalTicName: The Kewne species were apparently named after a sound they tend to make.
131	[[/folder]]
132
133	[[folder: Koh's Girlfriends]]
134	!!Shared Tropes
135	* AllThereInTheManual: Their full names and ages. While ones like Selfi have their name indicated, the others never mention their last names at all.
136	* CharacterDevelopment: All of the girls go through this in their sidequests. Most keep their personalities, but simply begin to love Koh at the same time.
137	* {{Fanservice}}: All of Koh's potential girlfriends have a bathing suit sprite gained after getting them as a girlfriend and unlocking the swimming pool ([[http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b278/akadewboy/Azure%20Dreams/NicoSwimsuitAnimated.gif Nico's]], [[http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b278/akadewboy/Azure%20Dreams/SelfiSwimsuitAnimated.gif Selfi's]], [[http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b278/akadewboy/Azure%20Dreams/FurSwimsuitAnimated.gif Fur's]], [[http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b278/akadewboy/Azure%20Dreams/PattySwimsuit.gif Patti's]] [[http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b278/akadewboy/Azure%20Dreams/MiaSwimsuitAnimaged.gif Mia's]], [[http://i499.photobucket.com/albums/rr355/Mindtwisted1/Azure%20dreams/cherll-complete-cut-smalltest.gif Cherrl's]], and [[http://i499.photobucket.com/albums/rr355/Mindtwisted1/Azure%20dreams/vivianswimsuit.gif Vivian's]]). They also each have different personalities and their own goals.
138	* FanserviceWithASmile: At the optional swimming pool.
139	* GoodMorningCrono: When you get the girls as a girlfriend, they'll take turns in waking you up. Only Nico, Selfi, Fur, and Mia however stay until you leave the house, while Patty, Cherrl, and Vivian are too busy with their jobs to stay.
140	* {{Leitmotif}}: Each girl has one, found in a different way. (Music theorists may observe that all seven of them are in the key of G major.)
141
142	!!Nico Southey
143	[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Nioc2_7906.png]]
144	[[caption-width-right:250:The childhood friend]]
145	--> "There are two types of people, those who make an effort to reach their dreams, and those who sit back and dream about their dreams. My personality doesn't allow me to stay still for long."
146	The {{Tomboy}} of the group that wishes to make Monsbaiya a place with more culture. Age 15
147	----
148	* ActionGirl: Probably the most girlfriend most dedicated to helping Koh go adventuring.
149	* BeautifulAllAlong: Subverted as she's already very pretty, but when she lets her hair down in her swimsuit at the pool, this goes up a notch.
150	* BruiserWithASoftCenter: She genuinely cares for Koh, but is too proud to say so. Her feelings really come to the surface when Koh finds out that Beldo killed his father.
151	* BuxomBeautyStandard: One of the bustiest girlfriends and considered one of the prettiest girls.
152	* CanonImmigrant: She's in both the GBC and the Playstation versions. Notable in that, unlike the Playstation version, she cannot become a girlfriend, and instead just stays a childhood friend. She still asks Koh for money to help the town prosper however.
153	* ChildhoodFriends: With Koh.
154	* ChildhoodFriendRomance: Possibly. It should be noted that when Koh gets the largest house available, if Nico or one of the three girlfriends that leaves early wakes up Koh, she will be the first one to kiss him. Also if she's a girlfriend, she will be the one to support Koh when [[spoiler: Beldo reveals to him that he was his father's killer.]]
155	* CleavageWindow: Her short top exposes her ample cleavage.
156	* ClingyJealousGirl: After the incident with the cello player, she asks you "Since when were you and Selfi so close to each other?" before disregarding the comment. It's also obvious when she sees Selfi give you a Pulunpa egg that she's trying to hide her jealousy. Aside from these times, she doesn't act like this at all.
157	* CoolBigSis: She seems to be a surrogate one to Weedy, considering how much she talks with her after Koh wins her heart.
158	* CuteBruiser: Though she can't quite fight monsters, she is still a pretty good fighter with her fists.
159	* DaddysGirl: Closest to her dad, which likely led to her becoming a tomboy.
160	* DoubleStandardAbuseFemaleOnMale: Nobody has any problem with her being violent when waking up Koh.
161	* FirstGirlWins: Seeing as how she pops up the most out of all the girls, and will be the default girl that Koh tells [[spoiler: Beldo]] about if she's available, she fits this trope. It is possible, however, for the player to decide not to go through her sidequest.
162	* GirlNextDoor: Though she can gruff with him, Nico has been super close with Koh for a long time and is one of the few townsfolk outside of his family ready to help him with whatever he needs.
163	* GoodMorningCrono: At the beginning of the game, she's always the one waking up Koh until he gets a girlfriend. She will wake him up herself as girlfriend as well, and is one of the four that will stay at his house until he leaves.
164	* GreaterNeedThanMine: She starts a charity to build a fountain in order to help the town prosper. After making the first donation, when she asks why Koh gave her some money, she explains it's entirely because of her personality via the quote at the top.
165	* {{Leitmotif}}: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-KwumGk60QI Heard in her house.]]
166	* LightningBruiser: She fast and agile enough to flip kick Koh out of bed until she becomes his girlfriend.
167	* MeaningfulEcho: When she hears Koh talking about how a man needs to take good care of a woman, not hit her, she suddenly realizes Koh is directing the statement at her. This is the very second where she officially falls for Koh.
168	* MissingMom: Because of this, she was raised by her dad, thus giving her a tomboy personality.
169	* MsFanservice: Probabaly most overly attractive of the girlfriends, having a curvy body that she shows off with her skimpy clothing.
170	* RedOniBlueOni: Despite their coloring, this is inverted with Nico and Koh, considering that she's the Red Oni to his Blue Oni.
171	* {{Tomboy}}: A rough and gruff girl who frequently shows off how athletic she is.
172	* TroubledButCute: Nico has shades of this; being concerned about her relationship with Koh and how she can support him.
173	* {{Tsundere}}: Out of the three girlfriends that show this though, she has it the least and gets over it pretty quickly due to some tragic events in the game.
174	%%* TheUglyGuysHotDaughter
175	* VictoriousChildhoodFriend: There's a good chance you will see her the most after you win her heart.
176
177	!!Selfi Rode
178	[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Selfi_2_3849.png]]
179	[[caption-width-right:250:The self-proclaimed town witch]]
180	-->"Why did I jeopardize my own life to rescue someone like Koh? Isn't this the biggest mystery of the century?"
181	A mischievous girl who loves to harass Koh. Age 16.
182	----
183	* ActionGirl: She has no problem going into the tower alone.
184	* AlphaBitch: Initially acts like one until Koh wins her over.
185	* [[TheBeastMaster The Beastmistress]]: Has a pet in the GBC game called [[http://www.flyingomelette.com/azdreams/az-wumpi.gif Wumpi.]]
186	* BlackMagicianGirl[=/=]CuteWitch[=/=]HotWitch: She's a self-proclaimed witch, but it's mostly in her appearance. In her defense, she did cast a fireball once at a U-boat.
187	* CanonImmigrant: She is in both the Playstation and GBC versions. She is the only one to be a possible girlfriend in TWO games, where in the GBC version she keeps her mood, but gets a Wump familiar. The egg that she gives you in the Playstation version might hint towards it.
188	* CurtainsMatchTheWindows: Her hair and eyes are the same shade of deep blue.
189	* DamselInDistress: At one point is attacked by a Pulunpa and saved by Koh. [[InvertedTrope She also saves YOU at one point]], claiming to do it to [[MakesUsEven because he helped her earlier.]] Oddly enough, she can defeat U-boats, but not Pulunpas.
190	* HiddenDepths: Possibly. The fact that she's the only girl to go into the tower and even defeats a monster in front of you at one point, it is possible she's not entirely weak, even being able to cast magic.
191	* ImpossiblyCoolClothes: [[http://media.photobucket.com/image/azure+dreams+swimsuit+/akadewboy/Azure%20Dreams/SelfiSwimsuitAnimated.gif Her bathing suit]], which has an enormous pink bow and a ''small bell'' on the front.
192	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Interestingly enough, according to Nico, Koh is the only one Selfi picks on, probably because of Ghosh. [[spoiler: She gets rid of the Jerk part when she discovers her feelings for you.]]
193	* {{Leitmotif}}: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h9Vu39Y6QKo Can be heard by walking in the front property of her house.]]
194	* LovableAlphaBitch: After Koh wins her heart, she remains pretty vain but becomes a lot softer and nicer.
195	* NoSocialSkills[=/=]SingleTargetSexuality: It really seems like these are the reasons she go after Koh and nobody else.
196	* PluckyGirl: She has no problem treasure hunting in the tower by herself.
197	* ProperLady: She tries to be this, but her overall childish behavior makes her fall short of this.
198	* RichBitch: The way she acts at first, being part of the richest family in Monsbaiya and teasing Koh.
199	* SecondLove: Most likely the second girlfriend you'll get most of the time, if Koh's not going after Fur or Patti immediately. It's also important to note that in the Gameboy version, Selfi is the only one to be a love interest in the two games.
200	* SpoiledBrat: At first, a life of luxury has not done her personality any favors making her greedy and vain. Thanks to Koh though, she eventually developed into SpoiledSweet.
201	* TrueBlueFemininity: Her coloring has lots of shades of blue and purple and she's very feminine.
202	* {{Tsundere}}: Denies the fact she is in love with Koh at first, dismissing that such a concept could be real, but then discovers she really does care for him.
203	%% * UpperClassTwit: At first.
204	* VainSorceress: Is adept with magic and extremely sure of herself.
205	%% * TheVamp
206	%% * WitchWithACapitalB: Initially.
207
208	!!Fur Gots
209	[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Fur2_1187.png]]
210	[[caption-width-right:250:The grouchy merchant]]
211	--> “You haven't changed, but every time I see you, you seem a little different. It's strange.”
212	The money-loving shopkeeper with her favorite food, Octopus Dumplings. Age 16.
213	----
214	* BuxomBeautyStandard: Is another one of the bustier girlfriends. She herself seems to think so too, with the pose she's in with her swimsuit.
215	* CanonImmigrant: She is in both the GBC and Playstation versions, but will not be a love interest for Koh in the former. Instead, she sells weapons, shields, and other items. She's a bit flirty towards Koh, but never becomes a girlfriend.
216	* ComplimentBackfire: At one point she'll joke that Koh just came in to see her. If he says yes, she'll be taken by surprise and you being straight forward about it.
217	* CurtainsMatchTheWindows: May or may not be the case. She has orange hair and reddish-orange eyes, with many sprites making it look like either may be the case.
218	* DeadpanSnarker: Particularly when she says nice things about Koh. [[spoiler: Turns how she's just hiding her true feelings this way.]]
219	--> '''Fur''': Dunno why, but Koh's lookin' real good to me lately. Better go get my eyes checked out or somethin'.
220	* DemotedToExtra: In the GBC merchant, she's simply a flirt, but otherwise doesn't pursue any romantic relationship with Koh.
221	* FieryRedhead: At times, when she gets angry she gets ''angry''.
222	* {{Greed}}: To an insane level.
223	* {{Leitmotif}}: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qbVq1pr1jlc Can be heard in her shop.]]
224	* MsFanservice: Noticeably has one of the more... [[http://redrobotblog.files.wordpress.com/2011/04/furbikini.jpg revealing]] swimsuits.
225	* MoneyFetish: Loves money, to the point that she asks you for money when you meet her at the swimming pool just because you have the privilege of looking at her body. She will actually take 100g if you let her.
226	%%* PunnyName
227	* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Accidentally gives one to Koh [[spoiler: as she tries to hide her feelings.]]
228	* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Octopus Dumplings. She'll even be seen eating them the next day once the dumpling shop opens. Also seen eating them as shown above.
229	* {{Tsundere}}: Arguably the biggest out of the three who have this. [[spoiler: When she admits she does have feelings for Koh, she immediately says she only does it because she feels sorry for Koh's family, but mistakenly insults him and even makes a negative statement towards Koh's deceased father, prompting him to leave. Depending on what Koh said, there's even a chance she immediately becomes emotional and asks "What have I done?" Returning later will show that they're both upset at each other, but Koh can mention that it hurts him because it came from Fur.]]

236	A waitress at the local restaurant who dreams of being a chef, holding her prized dish, Shining Prawns. Age 14.
237	----
238	* AlliterativeName: With the letter P, it makes her name sound to Peter Pan too.
239	%% Doesn't explain what the reaction is. * BerserkButton: Never ''ever'' try to skip out of the bill after you order food from the restaurant.
240	* CanonImmigrant: Maybe, depending on how you see it. There is a no-named, red-haired waitress in the GBC game that has more text than a usual NPC in the restaurant. It's possible this is a case of DemotedToExtra.
241	* DaddysGirl: Gets along really well with her dad and happily helps him at his restaurant
242	* FanserviceWithASmile: While every other girl has this, Patti is the most prominent one.
243	* {{Leitmotif}}: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PKWY7zrZbuM Heard in the restaurant.]]
244	* MeaningfulName: Her first name can reference a meat patty, and whose last name can reference the cooking utensil, or the Japanese word for bread.

249	* StayInTheKitchen: While she works in a restaurant, she barely cooks herself, her dad doing the majority of it. She dreams however of one day being a chef.
250	* SupremeChef: Her ultimate goal is to become this.

258	An introverted bookworm who sees Koh as her white knight. Age 13.
259	----
260	* AlliterativeName: Both her first and last names start with the letter M.
261	* BadassBookworm: When dissing Ghosh for treating her badly when he misjudged her due to her odd appearance.
262	* BeautifulAllAlong: It's amazing how much different she looks [[http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b278/akadewboy/Azure%20Dreams/MiaEyes.gif without her glasses]] on.
263	* BewareTheNiceOnes: Mouths off Ghosh when he hits on her, not realizing it's the same girl he pushed over.
264	* BewareTheQuietOnes: She starts off as gentle and demure, [[spoiler: and then Ghosh insults her and it all goes downhill from there.]]
265	* {{Leitmotif}}: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y_fS4SPRx6E Found when talking to her in the Library.]]
266	* NerdsAreSexy: Especially when she takes off her glasses.
267	* NiceGirl: Downplayed when she is being a stalker, but once she calms down she is gentle and polite.
268	* ShrinkingViolet: When you tell her that you find her interesting, she suddenly starts reflecting the feeling ten-fold. She'll stalk you until you go back to the Library and catch her trying to look in the window. [[spoiler: She eventually stops this behavior when you tell her it isn't okay.]]
269	* StalkerWithACrush: Until you tell her to calm down.
270	* WhenSheSmiles: After Koh cheers her up, and she becomes his girlfriend, you can see her beautiful smile when she's at the pool in her swimsuit.

277	A soft-spoken, sickly girl with an unknown disease. Age 15
278	----
279	* BewareTheNiceOnes: [[spoiler: Ghosh learns this the hard way when he insults Koh in front of her.]]
280	* BrattyTeenageDaughter: We see her act this way once to her mother, but it's really only because she doesn't want to be alone. Thankfully Koh appears right then so she has someone to be with.
281	* CastFromHitPoints: She eventually faints after her outbursts.
282	* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: Out of all the girls, she is perhaps the most innocent of all, not knowing anything about the outside world and only desiring the basic ability to walk without being fatigued. She is also very young and pretty for her appearance, being the same age as Nico but looking almost Mia's age. [[spoiler: She'll even become a nurse with the correct choices, wanting to help others like herself.]]
283	* HandicappedBadass: She manages to tell off Ghosh for insulting Koh, even though she was weak and exhausted from her illness.
284	* HospitalHottie: Is pretty curvy and still be this if she becomes a nurse
285	* {{Leitmotif}}: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H9KrI2P0j3g Heard when seeing her at her house and at the hospital.]]
286	* MultipleEndings: Depending on a single question, Cherrl will either decide to become a nurse, or will stay at home and make dolls of you. This can result in a big GuideDangIt moment if she goes in the path you don't want. [[spoiler: It's boiled down to whether or not you tell her you got her the herb. If you tell the doctor to not mention anything, she'll become a nurse, and end up finding out anyways. If you tell the doctor to tell her, she'll stay at home.]]
287	* NiceGirl: Probably the kindest and sweetest character in the entire game.
288	* ObliviousToHints: Doesn't seem to realize Dr. Hush's intentions when she tells him she's going to see Koh. Could be taken as dirty, or he could be simply telling her to enjoy her time with Koh.
289	--> '''Cherrl''': I told Dr. Hush that I was coming here to see you, Koh. So there's nothing to worry about. When I said that, Dr. Hush smirked and said, 'take your time'. I'm uneasy about the way he looks at me, so I'm going right back to the hospital. See you later, Koh.
290	* OlderThanTheyLook: She looks even younger than Mia, but she's 15, the same age as Koh.
291	* SpellMyNameWithAnS: ''Cherrl'', not Cheryl.
292	* TitleDrop: She mentions it in her speech after completing her sidequest... and screwed up by the localization crew when they translated the line as "sky-colored dreams". Also a hint that her feelings for Koh are extreme, just being with him meaning that she's satisfied.
293	--> '''Cherrl''': My '''sky-colored''' dream... is to be married to a certain somebody. But if I do marry that person, he's likely going to make me worry, which might make me sick again. Even so, I'd probably be the happiest woman around.

299	A dancer who dreams of performing on stage. Age 18.
300	----
301	* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: The other dancers make fun of her for being unable to keep up with them at first, then Koh motivates her to try and practice harder until she becomes the star of the show.
302	* ForgotICouldntSwim: Asks out Koh on a date to the pool, and by the time they get there and change into their bathing suits, she suddenly remarks that she's not able to swim. Instead, she just watches Koh swim for awhile.
303	* TheGamblingAddict: When she's not dancing, she's usually just having fun in the Casino. She can be found there before the Theater is made.
304	* {{Leitmotif}}: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UXNZtU8w7hI Heard when meeting her in theater and a few other instances.]]
305	* MsFanservice: She is the oldest of all the girlfriends and as a result has the most developed body with an especially large bust. Her job as a dancer invokes this.
306	* OlderThanTheyLook: Averted. She does look slightly older than the others, and is the oldest girlfriend with an age of 18.
307	* PerformanceAnxiety: She's able to dance fine when she's at the bar, but when she's get to the theater, she has difficulty dancing on stage. It isn't until Koh and Ghosh, working together for once, convince her that she's fine that she starts doing better.
308	* PinkMeansFeminine: Has pink hair and her clothing mostly features pink.
309	* SatelliteLoveInterest: Probably the most so out of all seven girlfriends, mainly due to the fact that both you and Ghosh seem to have her feelings. Helps that she is the only one not to flat out say no to Ghosh. It's implied though that she cares for you a lot more than him.

319	The son of a rich family that constantly, and unsuccessfully, tries to show up Koh.
320	----
321	* BigBrotherInstinct: Part of the reason why Ghosh can't stand to see Selfi fall in love with Koh.
322	* ButtMonkey: Big time, most of his appearances are him losing to Koh in some way. In particular nearly all of of the girlfriend quests end with him being unsuccessful, or being completely told off by the girl. The only one that he doesn't mess up with is Vivian, who just seems to be more fond of Koh. With how much of a jerk he is, this can be easily seen as LaserGuidedKarma.
323	* CanonImmigrant: He's in both the Playstation and Gameboy games. [[spoiler:Different in that he actually gets some character development, and even joins with Koh to defeat Beldo.]]
324	* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Despite the fact he is the ButtMonkey of the game, he does decent damage and takes a good amount himself in both versions.
325	* TheDandy: Coming from a rich family, he likes to flaunt his wealth by wearing extravagant clothing and armor.
326	* FanDisservice: His [[http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b278/akadewboy/Azure%20Dreams/th_GhoshSwimsuit.gif swimsuit.]] Some people actually see it as {{Fanservice}}, however.
327	* HiddenDepths: While dueling Koh on the second floor, he can actually manage to do a ton of damage, and has a ton of health, indicating that his talk about being a strong hunter isn't completely false. [[spoiler: In the gameboy version, his father was also killed by Beldo, and the player sees that he's not such a jerk after all.]]
328	* {{Jerkass}}: '''Big Time.''' He treats Koh and various other characters like trash and has a massive ego.
329	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Ghosh isn’t ''all'' bad though.
330	** In the GBC version, where he gets a pet that shows that he does have a warmer side. [[spoiler: He also teams up with you at the end to fight Beldo, who also killed his father.]]
331	** When Vivian is feeling down, Koh and Ghosh work together to make her feel better and more confident in herself. He even [[LampshadeHanging lampshades]] this.
332	--->'''Ghosh''': Tsk. That's the first time we've ever agreed on anything.\
333	'''Koh''': That's true, and not bad.\
334	'''Ghosh''': I guess you're right.
335	* {{Leitmotif}}: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TpakFWQsQno Heard whenever he tries to show up Koh or hit on girls. Also whenever he's around the area.]]
336	* MySisterIsOffLimits: Since he sees Koh as his rival as a monster tamer, he does not take it well when his sister Selfi begins showing an interest in Koh, and tries to put her off by telling her ridiculous and unflattering stories about him.
337	* NoSocialSkills: This seems to run in the family as his little sister Selfi has the same issue, [[spoiler: which is why she can't initially tell Koh she's attracted to him.]]
338	* RedOniBlueOni: The Blue Oni to Koh's Red Oni.
339	* [[RichBitch Rich Bastard]]: Is super rich and super unpleasant.
340	* TheRival: To Koh, especially as the games goes on and Koh begins to eclipse him in popularity.
341	* ShadowArchetype: To Koh, considering that Koh's a NiceGuy who grew up in poverty, and Ghosh is a {{Jerkass}} who grew up in luxury.
342	* StrongFamilyResemblance: Averted. He and Selfi look nothing alike.
343	* TookALevelInJerkass: He was ''already'' a huge jerk initially, but his meeting with Mia took this up a notch.
344	* UpperClassTwit: Not the sharpest knife the drawer and he prefers to rely on brute strength and charisma.
345	* VillainWithGoodPublicity: At the start. While Koh is dirt poor, Ghosh is high-class and rich, so most of the townsfolk will look the other way as he harasses you. This is steadily subverted as Koh proves himself and Ghosh keeps making a fool of himself.
346	* VitriolicBestBuds: Oddly enough, eventually is this towards Koh. According to Selfi, Koh is all he seems to talk about, even going as far as to make up silly rumors and appear wherever he can.
347	* YouKilledMyFather: Apparently, his father was killed by Beldo just like Koh's father Guy was.
348
349	!!Beldo
350	--> "Do you know who I am? I bet you don't. The last man your father Guy saw. That's me. I am Beldo, the most powerful monster tamer of all."
351	The BigBad of the game and the one responsible for the disappearance of Guy. He intends to use the [[OlympusMons monster born from the Ultimate Egg]] for his own selfish interests.
352	----
353	* BadassCape: Uses it to hide the fact [[spoiler:his right arm got cut off by Guy.]]
354	* CerebusSyndrome: The first time you meet him, he tells you that he's [[spoiler:the one that murdered your father]], and if you want to find out more, you have to get to the top. Afterwards, you'll see Nico every morning, where you tell her about what has happened and what Beldo said. This continues until he is defeated.
355	* EvilCounterpart: [[spoiler:To Guy.]]
356	* FailureIsTheOnlyOption: You cannot beat him at first. You instead have to get beat down, and then finish him off when [[spoiler:Kewne gives you your father's sword.]]
357	* HeroKiller: [[spoiler:He was the one who killed Guy after all.]]
358	* {{Jerkass}}: As the megalomaniacal BigBad it shouldn't be surprising, but Beldo truly is a loathsome and vile person who is the only character in the game without any redeeming qualities.
359	* LifeOrLimbDecision: [[spoiler:Loses an arm to Guy.]]

369	----
370	* AllThereInTheManual: You can find information about them in Weedy's Book, which talks about their typical behavior, where you can find them outside the tower, and even if they're friendly with humans or not.
371	* AwesomeButImpractical: The monster spells aren't usually worth casting due to their high MP cost, and the fact that they usually do less damage than a normal attack anyways. They still look pretty impressive and some spells with different elements look amazing.
372	* BadassAdorable: Many monsters actually qualify, but the Snowman gets special mention due to its high attack and decent defense.
373	* BarrierWarrior: The Volcano and the Glacier are variations of this.
374	* TheBerserker: The Tyrant, whose ability causes it to go into rage and randomly attack things around it, boosting its power at the same time. Also counts as TheSociopath, along with dragons who will turn corners and hunt Koh down just to attack him.
375	* BlobMonster: The Manoeva, who is completely made up of slime.
376	* BodyHorror: The Balloon is able to fly due to having a massive, exposed lung on its back that resembles a balloon. Granted, it's extremely tough, but it still deflates when it takes enough damage...
377	* BrainwashedAndCrazy: Blooms can brainwash enemies with their attack, forcing your familiars to turn against you. The only one that isn't affected by this is Kewne, whose trait allows it to be immune to this.
378	* ColourCodedElements: While the monsters themselves are various colors in the tower, when they are familiars, they will usually either be red, blue, or green for their respective elements. A couple exceptions are when monsters change elements, they sometimes become completely different colors, like the Pulunpas that turn orange when they are fused with wind monsters.
379	* CombatMedic: Battnels (upgraded Nyuels) have decent fighting abilities, but their true usefulness is in the fact that they have the healing spell and restore huge amounts of MP when given any herb at all.
380	* CombinationAttack: Mixture Magic, which allows monsters to fuse their own elements to allow Koh to use them for elemental attacks with his wand, sword, or fist.
381	* {{Cyclops}}:
382	** Cyclones have a single eye, which fits with their Gameboy Color name "Cyclops".
383	** You know the periscope over the U-boat's head? That's its one and only eye.
384	* DanceBattler: Mandara have an ability that makes them "dance", spinning around and confusing people around them.
385	* DittoFighter: The Manoeva can turn itself into other monsters at Koh's wish when it is a familiar. Otherwise, it will just transform into items right next to it. [[spoiler:This will likely catch you off guard when see two of the same type of item (this includes coins), only for one of them to change into a Manoeva and get a free hit when you are right next to them. However, if you suspect that one of the two said items present is in fact a Manoeva before coming into melee range, you can use a ranged magic attack (including mixture magic), which will reveal which one is fake by the fact that the fake item will take damage, as magic never deals damage to a real item.]]
386	* TheDragon: The monster called [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin the dragon]] considering it's on the final floors before the top of the tower [[spoiler: where [[BigBad Beldo]] is waiting for you.]]
387	** Also the Maximum.
388	* ElementalPowers: While you can change a monsters element if you so wish, each monsters has a standard element.
389	** PlayingWithFire: The fire monsters.
390	** MakingASplash and AnIcePerson: The water monsters.
391	** ShockAndAwe, DishingOutDirt and BlowYouAway: The wind monsters.
392	** CastingAShadow and InfinityPlusOneElement: [[spoiler:Hikewne, the only monster capable of this power. The element is never properly given a name, but the ability is known as "Dark Wave", and seems to be a combination of the three elements.]]
393	* ElementalRockPaperScissors: Fire>Wind>Water>Fire
394	* ExtremeOmnivore:
395	** Kids and Dragons can eat coins, shields, and swords that you pick up to replenish their MP, and are the only monsters to do this.
396	** The Picket is an even better example, as it can eat just about any item in order to restore their MP.
397	* FlamingHair: Flame and its evolution, Ifrit, have this.
398	* FragileSpeedster: The Picket, who can move two squares or attack two times per turn and also teleport, but can't take a hit.
399	* FusionDance: Koh is able to fuse two monsters if he gets two collars. Fusing monsters means getting hidden spells from those who don't learn them normally, and getting new monsters, sometimes changing the monster's element.
400	** If Kewne is fused with any monster, he will always be the one on top. It is impossible to fuse him with anything and not get him as the monster.
401	** [[spoiler: If you try to fuse Hikewne, it will mean the other monster gets to be the one who comes out on top. This is probably due to the fact this monster is already extremely overpowered.]]
402	* GeniusBruiser: The Dragon who will turn corners to follow Koh and track him down is also very powerful as well as intelligent.
403	* GlassCannon: The Killer, who has high attack and critical-hit ratio, but only moderate defense.
404	** The Arachne and its evolution Ashra, whose trait is "Double Attack". Its health and defense are quite low however.
405	* {{Golem}}: The [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Golem.]] Said to have been made to guard the monster tower since ancient times.
406	** The Garudas are also noteworthy, although they are able to float.
407	* TheGoomba: Pulunpas and Noise are the weakest creatures you encounter. The Noise, however, only shows up on the first floor (also on the second floor during the first playthrough), while the Pulunpa pops up every now and then in the tower.
408	* HeavySleeper: While attacking a sleeping monster has a high chance of waking it up, there are several cases where they'll continue sleeping. Special mention goes to the Naplass, who may actually choose to go to sleep rather than attack during a fight.
409	* IfItSwimsItFlies: The U-boat is apparently an aquatic creature that is able to float above and dive into the ground. Apparently this is due to the magic properties of the monster tower, allowing it to sink into the ground like water.
410	* LargeAndInCharge: Maximums are the biggest and strongest monsters in the tower.
411	* MagikarpPower: Nyuels are pathetically weak on their own, and have terrible stat gains. When they evolve into Battnels, they become stronger and keep their ability to heal others and themselves. Even the entry explains a Battnel is a monster who is a battle-hardened Nyuel.
412	* TheMedic: Nyuels have a natural ability to heal, a feature that becomes even better when feeding herbs to it fully restores its MP.
413	** CombatMedic: The Battnel, which is an evolved Nyuel can fight and heal pretty well.
414	* MegatonPunch: The Golems have a two turn variation that will do tons of damage to whoever it hits.
415	* MagicKnight: Ironically TheDragon falls under this, considering both its physical and magical abilities are very powerful.
416	* MeaningfulName: Many of the monsters fall under this. Obvious creatures like Dragons have names based on other fantasy material, but among more original names, there are...
417	** Noise are creatures that use a flute to do damage and silence enemies.
418	** Flames have a body made of fire, as do their evolutions Ifrits.
419	** Blocks have big, block-like bodies.
420	** Glaciers have a ton of icicles on their backs, making them resemble a Glacier.
421	** Naplass tend to fall asleep.
422	** Dreamin have the ability to make others fall asleep.
423	* MechanicalLifeform: The U-boat seems to be an actual creature, even though its appearance and the mechanical noise it makes would make it seem more like a robot. Garuda and Golems seem to be made by humans, but are magical lifeforms in themselves due to the fact they hatch from eggs.
424	** Also Blocks and Metals fall under this.
425	* MetalSlime: The Barong fits the criteria, spawning only on the 16th, 26th, and 36th floors, sometimes never to be seen, has an unusual reward of being fed items and getting different or even better items in return, and will avoid fighting Koh the majority of the time.
426	%% * MightyGlacier: The monster appropriately named the Glacier.
427	%% ** Block and its evolution Metal qualify for specializing in defense.
428	%% ** The Naplass that has over 100 HP and takes hits easy.
429	* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: '''Killer.'''
430	** The Maximum, appropriately named for having a ton of good stats and big enough that it barely fits on one square.
431	* NightmareFuelStationAttendant: The Dreamin's entry hints that it was this, being able to give nightmares to people and monsters. The species has since had their magic weakened by quite a lot, to the point they can only make people fall asleep.
432	* {{Planimal}}: The Bloom, which has a plant head but a more animal-like body.
433	* [[PoisonousPerson Poisonous Monster]]: Barongs have a hidden magic spell that allows them to cast Poison.
434	* PowerGivesYouWings: The Univern has much larger wings than the Unicorn, and is able to fly on top of that.
435	** Subverted with the Gryphons; Grineuts develop into a more centaur-looking creatures, with the wings being either much smaller or non existant.
436	* PowerFloats: The Cyclone, Zu, Garuda, Kraken, U-boat, Clown, and Death are all able to do this. The rest fly through different means, such as Kewne and Univern having wings, while the Balloon has a ton of hot air in the exposed lung to float.
437	* RidiculouslyCuteCritter: Pulunpas in general, and also the Wumps in the GBC version. Special mention goes to Wumpi, Selfi's pet.
438	* SleepyHead: The Naplass is not afraid to fall asleep in the monster tower. Even if it means being in the middle of a battle.
439	* StoneWall: The Block and Metal monsters.
440	** Golems, who starts in total with 20 defense, even more than what the Block starts out with.
441	* ThisIsADrill: The Golem has a weird attack where he jumps above another monster and "drills" into them, causing damage.
442	* TookALevelInBadass: Several monsters can evolve into others. You can usually tell which ones evolve depending on whether or not they come with a spell.
443	** The monsters that evolve are: Kid->Dragon, Flame->Ifrit, Griffon->Grineut, Clown->Death, Unicorn->Univern, Block-> Metal, Snowman->Saber, Arachne->Ashra, and Nyuel-> Battnel.
444	** The GBC version has monsters that are different elements of the following and go by different names. They evolve in a similar way, though most evolve at level 10. In addition, the Catawump, the Pulunpa in the Platstation version, evolves from a Wump, a hornless Catawump, at level 2.
445	* UseYourHead: The preferred method of attack for a Naplass.
446	* UselessUsefulNonCombatAbilities: The Nyuel's Poison-Proof. Poison is uncommon as a trap, and even when monsters do step on these traps, there is a huge chance it won't even get poisoned.
447	** The Noise has a Spell-Proof ability that would be better if it were on a stronger monster. Instead, the Noise is only on the first floor, and is weak enough for Koh to beat it bare-handed. Because of his terrible stats, it's only worthwhile to keep one to fuse it to another monster so they're immune to spells themselves.
448	** Vipers have the Attack Lowering Attack, which decreases your attack by a little bit. While this is annoying when it is an enemy, as a familiar, enemies usually die too quickly for this to be worthwhile. [[spoiler: [[TheresNoKillLikeOverkill Of course, by changing it to the right element using the correct seed, you can actually make the Viper lower an enemy's DEFENSE every time it hits it, and destroy them even quicker.]]]]
449	* UselessUsefulSpell: Enemy Balloons have an ability that allows them to float to another part of the floor if their health is low. Terrible in that they can use up all their energy so its good as dead anyways, but even ''worse'' is that it can sometimes teleport to the same room.
450	** Play Flute for Noise familiars is useless, not only because most spells are long range, but also because the Noise is spell proof in the first place.
451	** Can also apply to enemy Volcanos, who can spawn Magma Rocks. This is only really annoying when they block off a hallway with it, but otherwise, they can sometimes do it in large rooms and two-way hallways.
452	** The Zu's roar can paralyze you and forces your familiar to down one in AI. This works against it, however, since you can simply go back and change it back to normal with no consequence. Since they prioritize in using this ability, it's preferred to keep your monster fighting them.
453	** This can be applied to almost any normal magic spell. Some offensive fire spells, like Brid and Sled for instance, will do much less damage than a normal attack from the same monster. Mixture magic is usually preferred.
454	* UselessUsefulStealth: The [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Stealth]] has the Disappear ability to go invisible, but because the camera angle points towards them when they attack, it's easy to see where they are. Easier when you have a familiar with you, where they'll attack where the Stealth is anyways. The only useful thing about this ability is that it allows for Sneak Attacks.
455	* WizardNeedsFoodBadly: Every monster has a set amount of MP. They can devour seeds, herbs, and fruit to recover some it, but Pita and Big Pita fruits is what really brings it up.
456	** Nyuels and their evolved forms, Battnels, will have 50 MP recovered with any herb, which suddenly makes herbs more valuable, especially with their healing spell.
457	** With the exceptions of Kids and their evolved form the Dragons who only eat metal, and considering how many extra swords, shields, and especially ''coins'' you'll find lying around the tower, it's pretty easy to keep them full.
458	** Pickets are even better, as they will recover 50 MP from almost any item you could give them, which helps to better deal with the fact that [[HyperactiveMetabolism they burn through said MP twice as fast than all the other monsters]], due to their Double Speed trait.
