Just thought I'd start a place to log comparisons of stats off CD in an effort to look at the game's parameters. (And not the hard coded rares, that's a separate topic) The best single stat I have ever gotten (or seen on the CD list) was 246 DEF, in a Poseidon (Golem/Jell) (Metropolis, ST). Anyone ever seen a higher starting stat? What's the highest we've seen in other stats? (US version of the game only)

here's my current best stat list:

lif - gaboo[hercules soundtrack - french language version] - 201
pow - golem[georges moustaki] - 242
int - daina[benjamin lees/balada/taffe-zwillick//french horn concerto/bason concerto] - 205
ski - skipper[teacher's toolbox - educational cd] - 207
spd - fairy hare[tchaikovsky's nutcracker] - 213
def - priarocks[chick corea's elektrik band/light years] - 215
pow+ski - striker[ives piano works disc 1] - 334
int+ski - blue kato[bartok viola concerto 2] - 361
lif+def+spd - gibberer[harry chapin greatest hits] - 480
total - phoenix[taffe-zwillich/symphony no 1 et al] - 1001

I just started re-going through my cds now that I've unlocked all of my cds and logging the stats...here's what I have so far (through 175 cds logged) for my bests...I'll keep updating as I go through them:

lif - Gaboo[PC Lasersoft Fly & Drive Spectacular] - 187
pow - Tyrant[Deftones - Around the Fur] - 252
int - Pink Kato[PSX ECW Hardcore Revolution] - 208
ski - Cabalos[Stuck Mojo - Declaration of a Headhunter] - 217
spd - Fairy Hare[Rage Against the Machine - Renegades] - 217
def - Obelisk[Immortal Records Promo Sampler 2000-2001] - 224
total - Phoenix[PC Railroad Tycoon 2 Gold Ed.] - 998

OK and here's the Lows:

lif - Wracky[Bride of Chucky Soundtrack] - 27
pow - Wracky[Godzilla Soundtrack] - 18
int - Metalner[Semisonic - Feeling Strangely Fine] - 17
ski - Wracky[Godzilla Soundtrack] - 36
spd - Obelisk[Immortal Records Promo Sampler 2000-2001] - 10
def - Dokoo[Skid Row - Self-Titled] - 25

Torey, what are the lows that you've found so far?

Does anybody else have any bests & worsts? I'm interested in how high/low monsters can come off of cd and once I'm finished I'll try to put together an analysis for each type of creature or something...maybe we can figure something out.

A-B-B

I just checked my Phoenix from the PC game Klingon Honor Guard: 186,177,191,145,186,126 = 1011 total.

actually, the justly famous "lees/balada" daina, with her personal best int of 205, also dwarfs this pixie, with 119/122/205/154/133/91 = 824 composite.

obviously, the luvullo household frequently resorts to calling on this daina when new ranch stock is needed!

OK here's the best totals that I've found for each main breed of monster so far...I still have some more cds to go through here and a bunch more that I will unpack once I move into my house in a couplea weeks...

I found a cd that breaks my previous best for Lif. It's still a Gaboo...but it has Lif of 217 and it came from Marilyn Manson - Rusty Lunchbox cd. All the rest of my highs and lows are the same...but I have a few more cds to go through and then even more to go through once I move & unpack them outta storage.

A-B-B

I havent gone back to find all the highs and lows, but I know the lowest stat i have ever seen anywhere, with the exception of Sueki Suezo, was a Wracky with a Power of 2...thats right folks you heard that right, a 2...I dont remember offhand what cd it came off of, I'd have to go check.

yeah - my lowest wracky had 11, so 2 is not out of the question, i guess - i'd like to know the cd, tho.

Oh, I need to add a Monol/Golem with all 25s as stats. With 150 as a composite, that's a new low.
The CD is Def Leppard, Greatest Hits Vault.

I went back to my CD list and found the Wracky with the Power of 2...It is from Listener's Choice: The Best of Classical Favorites Vol I Made from Metacom, Inc...Here are his full stats:

Lif	Pow	Int	Ski	Spd	Def
46	2	154	43	192	57

thanx msl99 - that is one weakling wracky...although its composite is nonetheless better than the tie between abb4life's godzilla and my petrouchka's by about 10 points.

back up to the pixie stats kasumi does start with all 100+ stats includingt def and pow

I just found a Monol/Golem with 5 Speed. It's The Remains of Tom Lehrer Disc 2 that takes the new low-speed record!

I'm not sure how good this is but this is one of the best I've seen in person.
Tombstone

LIF	POW	INT	SKI	SPD	DEF	TOTAL	AVERAGE
141	143	156	140	131	103	814	134

Sorry if that didn't work this is the first time I have tried to use the table command.

it did, alpha - and that is a nice tombstone - although not meeting the very high standards of the spawn soundtrack, its better than my tombstone by about 30 points

That is good to see.
I do relize there are better out there but this is one of the first that don't have a single stat under 100. Plus scince it is a Joker breed that will also come in usefull I feel.

The only thing though is this is off of a AOL cd I have; plus it is the only cd that I have right that gives a Joker main breed, also it is the only cd so far that gives any kind of Golem. :(
I do however have plenty of Reapers.

I have to see the rest of my cds and check out what they give but this is the best so far that I can remember/seen.

interesting - my tombstone came from a compuserve 2000 disc...

Out of 237 CD's here are my Highs and Lows.
Lif-214 Gaboo Low-Lif-34 Metalner
Pow-218 Sleepyhead Pow-31 same Metalner
Int-218 Pheonix Int-11 Gaboo w/214Lif
Ski-202 Skipper+Metazorl Ski-25 Arrowhead
Spd-209 Citronie Spd-15 Obelisk
Def-242 Monol Def-38 Frozen Gaboo
Highest total-983 Pheonix
Lowest total-495 Metalner

hi everyone, i am kinda new to monster rancher. i really like this site. i just wanted to tell you guys that i found a phoenix that has 1014 total stats..i think that is better than the ones that you guys have found so far. it has 181/155/206/157/187/128.....i got it off a tiger woods demo....i think it was from a box of wheaties or something

yep - that looks like the best phoenix stats posted yet...

Lisa's was 1011, and Torey's was 1001.

So, yes, highest Pixie stats posted yet.

I think that i'm breaking a record when I say that I got a Obelisk with a speed of 3 (Bob Marley Greatest hits disk #1)

3 is indeed a new low for the notoriously slow obelisk - thanx ofihsr.

Ooh ooh, I have a C.D (er, something like;HP Reboot system) that makes a Wracky with a 1 on power... I think that must be a fluke because I didnt think you could get that low on a C.D. His full stats were like..
57/1/156/33/122/49

nice find, mr. bean! as you can see, that beats the old record of 2, and i doubt if anyone is going to find a cd with pow of 0.

Thanks! I managed to find a C.D that did`nt break records but it had a nice Pheonix...
Lif:171
Pow:126
Int:216!
Ski:154
Spd:157
Def:132

216 int is very good, though not a record. ironically enough, however, the composite is one of the lowest i have seen on a phoenix - 956!

Even though Obelisks have a record breaking low speed on the same disc I got 3 in speed I got a a 228 defense ,and a 192 Power Not that it means anything or does it....

The phoenix from the Dune 2000 gives a combined total of 1015.

I think I got a record for lowest life.It's a Wracky from a "Primus" CD with a life of 7.Pretty pathetic.

I got a Monol/Golem with 1 Spd, off... i think it was *checks CD list*
ratpack greatest hits it was.

i got a bloodshed and started with 200+ ski...

On PAL version I got an ape with 2 int, though
considering they average 20 I suppose that isn't
too low. I think the CD was Black Sabbath though
I don't know the exact one.

mine was probably 207 life on a gaboo

oh, and i just got an obelisk with a speed of 8

Just got a pretty good Phoenix. Got it on the PAL-version from the original
"Heroes 3 of might and magic" PC cd.

LIF: 187
POW: 157
INT: 212
SKI: 160
SPD: 182
DEF: 121
