(Under Construction)

Monsters

The main antagonists and bosses of the game who reside in the cave struck with fear and seek only to kill whatever enters their home, but they can be turned over through love. Most of them are members of six races that have their own characteristics and traits such as representing a negative emotion and color. They are Veyerals, Zaramechs, Guardians, Shambles, Eyeric Glyphs, and Glass Flora.

In General

All There in the Manual: More info on the monsters is revealed when cards of them are radiated.
Anti-Villains: Even though they've shown hostility toward the Zaraden and trying to harm them, they're actually paralyzed with fear and don't know how to express love and affection, so the creatures are lonely and desire friendship.
Color Motif: Each kind of monster is represented by a color. This is reflected in what color of tetrids the player gets from damaging them. Even the newborn monsters and the spherical NFTs (Nice Friend Things) each embody the color of that race.
Defeat Equals Explosion: When most monsters are beaten with love in-game, they blow up,^note but it doesn't kill them.
Defeat Equals Friendship: Through love, each playable Zaraden befriends the monsters.
Didn't Need Those Anyway!: Most bosses have parts that you can break, such as the petals on Glass Flora, the wings of Eyeric Glyphs and the arms and legs of the Sentinels. The bosses will keep fighting anyway until their fear bar has been completely depleted.
Improbably Female Cast: Like the Zaraden protagonists, the monsters are all girls.
Leitmotifs: Each group has two battle themes, and special monsters have three of their own; one for normal battles and the other for special battles. Newborn monsters, however, have their own battle theme which is "Monster Birthday".
Motif: Besides the color, negative emotion is represented by each group of monsters.
Samus Is a Girl: While it isn't apparent, every one of them is actually a female.
Shows Damage: Almost all of the bosses have breakable parts, and many of them show damage before they get destroyed.
Underground Monkeys: Some monsters have alters, which tend to be palette swaps with some changes in their patterns. Often overlaps with Upgraded Boss, as the alters are often a bit harder than their originals.
Upgraded Boss: Many boss alters are a bit harder than their originals.
The Babies of the Bunch: The newborns are the youngest of all the monsters in the game.

Shambles

A race of monsters that have control over the 4th dimension representing shame and green.
