A Bestiary of the Mystery Dungeon
Knowing, perhaps, that we're all about the Mystery Dungeon (or, alternately, that we write about DS games), Sega just sent along a partial list of monster descriptions and tactics for dealing with them. This is, of course, welcome; we've talked about Shiren's difficulty a lot, but we haven't mentioned as much that there are many monster types to be found in this game, all with unique properties. So you'll die in an interesting variety of ways.
Along with the tips, we got a bunch of new screenshots, which we invite you to enjoy in our gallery. We've posted the list of tips after the break!

Purple Slime: Beware of the Purple Slime! They can rust your equipment if you get too close and multiply when you attack them.
Master Hen: Drop the Master Hen's hit points low enough and it'll turn chicken.
Chainheads: Watch out for the Chainheads, they attack by throwing their spiked heads at you.
Minotaur: Be ready for some powerful moves by Minotaurs who can deliver critical attacks.
Polygon Jive: Watch out for the Polygon Jive, it can drain your hunger meter just by being next to you.
Infernos: Infernos are fire monsters that multiply when hit by explosions. Get too close and you'll get burned.
Dragon Head: The Dragon Head is cunning and fast. It can burrow beneath the ground and pop up somewhere else for a sneak attack.
Cell Armor: The Cell Armor can send Shiren's equipment flying, regardless of whether it's cursed or not.
Evil General: Evil Generals only strike with melee attacks, but they will return as Dead Generals after being defeated.
