                            1. Introduction
=======================================================================

For those of you who have never played Monster Rancher before, allow me 
to tell you about it. You take the role of a Monster Breeder, who's sole 
purpose is to become the champion breeder. Sounds simple, eh? It's far 
from. Tecmo came up with one of the most novel ideas in gaming history, 
instead of catching monsters...you create them. Using music CDs, game 
CDs and now DVDs, you create your own monsters to raise and battle with. 
The game prompts you for a disc, it then reads the info from the disc 
and somehow makes a monster for you. Don't ask me how it works, all I 
know is that it does work, and it's great fun.

What I'm going to try to do here is come up with a comprehensive list of 
monsters you can get in Monster Rancher 3. I'm going to need some help, 
so if you have some that you don't see on my list, e-mail me and I'll 
add it to the list, along with your name in the contributor credits. 
Deal? Cool. Let's get started.

with these monsters:

Kaio
Gitan
Angel
Beaklon
Isobe
Tiger
Hare

I don't know what the method of extraction for a CD-R is, but I say 
experiment!

                   3. Tips and Suggestions on Breeding                          
=======================================================================


There is a Japanese promo soundtrack for Monster Rancher 3 that extracts 
monsters based on the breeders level. If you have this disc, when you 
scan it, it's called "Pandora's Disc". I got mine from Gamestop, so if 
you can get one, I highly recommend it. These are the ranks, and 
corresponding Monsters.

Rank                                 Monster

S                                    Unknown
A                                    Unknown
B                                    Unknown
C                                    Unknown
D                                    Unknown
E                                    Unknown
Unranked                             Mocchi w/Accessory

I will of course add the monsters as I reach the higher ranks.

Speed is one of the key attributes for your monster. If you can birth a 
monster with a speed of 150+, KEEP IT! You will be able to attack 2-3 
times for each one of your opponents attacks. You can always "Raise" 
your monster for STR and DEF, but SPD is a winner.

During the "Venture", always get the Extract. Yes, it's expensive, but 
you can find stones and Succulent Flowers that allow you to gain new 
skills, and boost your attributes, respectfully. Once you find the 
"Lord" of your training area, use the stones to gain new skills. Skills 
are just new attacks you can use in battle, and once gained, they will 
prove invaluable.

"Guts" is similar to Mana or AP in other games. It dictates how and when 
your monster can attack. I recommend not attacking until your guts are 
full, then unleash everything you have on your opponent. Many moves have 
the bonus of taking guts away from your enemy, which in turn takes their 
moves away. If you can take advantage of your opponents attack range, 
you can almost win every fight without taking any damage.
