"I really want to have a go at them, but I'm afraid that I wouldn't be able to handle it alone. Hmm, I should just mark this place and see if I can get the others with me to come back here. Though coming back here with Shadow would be the ideal choice, though that jerk would only be back the day after tomorrow, and the chance that he would just refuse is high as he's still on the other side of the continent doing his Main Quest.

Solitary Tempest seems to really ponder a lot on this. Though it's understandable since a lot was added to the game during the recent update.
One of the new additions was the [Monster Encyclopedia] that records monsters that players encounter in their journey.
As mentioned, this new function records the monster's appearance, shape and color or anything unique about them. It also records where to find them, what loot they drop and their weaknesses.
