To study fabulous beasts, you may have to trek mountain paths tracking a yeti, traipse over barren tundra to spy a behemoth, dive into deep seas seeking a leviathan, or lurk beside glowing coals at the mouth of a volcano to tempt out a salamander.

Each beast leaves certain signs of itself behind: tracks, remains of its prey or foraging, scat (dung or droppings), and stories told about it by local people.

Log your findings about one particular monster in your RecoRd Book.

On occasion, an Ordinary Beast has been mistaken for a true Monstrous Beast, but only by amateur monsterologists and rather shortsighted tourists.

Documented by: Member S.M.D.M.

However, you will plainly note obvious differences between the two. (Indicated with arrows or circles)

case in Point: This Ordinary Beast has been mistaken for this actual Monstrous Beast.
