Monster Rancher

The average monster will not live long enough to read S Rank. There is a special food iten which will increase the monster's lifespan by one year. If your monster lives to be ten years old, you'll get a special birthday song.

Some special monster types can be created in the lab by combining two monsters with the right item. For example, to get the rare Ape monster, combine two monsters with the rating Spoil with the Magic Banana (which you can find exploring with Karn).

If you play the game for many game years, new items will appear in the item shop which you can use when combining monsters at the lab.

When your monster dies and you go to the shrine to create a new monster, there is a 1-in-16 chance that the new monster will be imbued with the spirit the monster who died. A possessed monster has a short lifespan but, if you combine it with another monster in the lab, you may get the rare Ghost monster.

To get the rare Doodle monster, raise a Monolith monster until its fame reaches 80, then let the monster lose battles until its fame drops below 65. When this happens, your monster will be vandalized and become the Scribble monster type. Combine it with another monster at the lab to get the Doodle monster.

To earn the extremely rare Disc monster, combine a Gooaal! monster with a Radial monster.

There are a bunch of very special, very rare monsters which you can extract only from very specific CDs. As you can see from the following list, the selection of CDs is so varied that there's a pretty good chance that you may have one of them. Please bear in mind that, sometimes, CDs are remastered or released in multiple versions so a CD with the same title as one on this list may not necessarily work. Also, you need to have a high ranking as a breeder before the shrine will allow you to take out one of these very rare monsters.
