Monster

Monsters are the PvM enemies of players. They're divided in a few classes depending on the type of monster.

## Normal Monster

This is the most common type of monster found in the game. You will notice them when you find anything with just the name of them like:

Those monsters aren't FFA so if you find players killing them, don't KS.

**Always** ask first in case you want to help them.

## Plant Type

Plant type, like the name says, is the name given to monsters that take damage like plants.

Plants is what players call to a category of monsters that only take 1 damage from any source of damage and multi-hit skills only multiply that 1 by the number of hits and nothing else.

In that category you can find monsters such as:

* Plants
* Mushrooms
* Emperium from War of Emperium

Here is an example of one:

Outside of the Emperium, those monsters aren't FFA so if you find players killing them, don't KS.

**Always** ask first in case you want to help them.

## Champion

Champion is a special category of normal monsters that have a green aura (don't mix this with Green Aura, it's different since that type of aura only appears on MVPs).

They're normal monsters with higher stats and double rates on their drops.

Those monsters aren't FFA so if you find players killing them, don't KS.

**Always** ask first in case you want to help them.

## Mini-Boss

Mini-Bosses are monsters whose names have a grey skull next to their names and are, usually, monsters stronger than the normal counterpart but not strong enough to be considered MVPs. They often have and summon slaves around them to make the fights against them more challenging.

Besides all this, they're also boss protocol monsters so they're immune to Status.

## MVP

MVPs are monsters that have a golden skull next to their names. They act like Mini-Bosses but are stronger than them so the basics of one also applies to another such as being immune to Status and being FFA.

Since there are lots of different MVPs:

* Some are easier than others. So never expect them to be on the same stage of difficulty.
* Some counter a few builds with their skills and/or stats to force players to play with friends, other classes, or to be creative about how to deal with them.
* Some have a Green Aura. This was added to counter the increase of damage in the game with the latest updates and the direction of the game that favors damage above the rest and restrict challenges to a few harder instances where parties are needed at 100% (similar to Raids from other MMORPGs).

### Green Aura

Green Aura is a special buff added to a decent number of MVPs in the game. This isn't exclusive to Instances nor Fields but means that not all MVPs have it.

Example of the MVP  Ifrit, from the Korean version of the game, exhibiting its **Green Aura**.
A MVP with it usually means extra danger because:

* It has skills exclusive to **Green Aura MVPs** that the player may not be aware.
* Damage done to it is reduced by 90%. This reduction of damage is final and can't be removed by anything available in the game. It's a reduction similar to the Steel Body skill from the Monk class.

#### Exclusive Green Aura MVP Skills

**Green Aura MVPs** have skills exclusive to them such as:

* Healing related to the type of damage dealt:
	+ If the MVP starts to heal with magic damage, you need to wait about 30 seconds or start dealing damage with physical damage, something not exactly easy for almost all magical classes.
	+ If the MVP starts to heal with physical damage, you need to wait about 30 seconds or start dealing damage with magical damage, something not exactly easy for almost all physical classes.
* Can full heal if left alone, with zero interaction from any player, for a short period of time.
* Can pull player(s) next to them to deal a single heavy blow or a quick number of fast blows with the potential to kill less prepared players.

and so on.

#### Exclusive Rewards

**Green Aura MVPs** offer exclusive drops to create exclusive gear that only drop from them in form of recipes.

With the recipes that you get from them, their exclusive items, and some other items from normal monsters, you can create exclusive headgears, Shadow Gear, and more!!
