Shot from 1.57 straight to 1.59 so I had some new monsters waiting for me. Every time new monsters are added I always see them as new potential pets for consideration. The more dangerous the monster the more interesting it might be as a pet but even if a monster does seem to go down easy, what's under the hood could be surprising.

The first new monster I ran into the is the killer nurse. Pretty much a nurse in red. Was caught a bit off guard since I was thinking it was just going to be a better healer. Instead it chased me down to constantly shoot me with her gun and zero shoot me when her bar was full. Aside from that, don't know what else it does as my pet Mayu didn't appear to like her and proceeded to MP breath her demolishing her in one blow.

Dark elves, or rather dark Elea, seem to be a thing now. This particular dark Elea I dominated seemed to be a level 78 wizard. True to their race name, their spell focus revolves around darkness with some chaos thrown in. They can cast darkness bolt, mist of darkness, nightmare and chaos eye. Nice that they cast their own debuff by themselves for their spells. Can also use gravity sphere and will heal themselves when weak through casting heal critical. A decent caster. Might be seeing more dark Elea in the future with different classes and abilities.

Ran into a green quickling, a red quickling(redcap) plenty of times in the past so seeing a blue one was interesting. Pretty sure its name is a typo and should just be called hellsting. At any rate, what makes this quickling interesting is that it likes to use the blade string special action. If made a pet, this may be the first pet that I know of that actually plays a trapper role. How effective that is I'm not sure but it's interesting.

The Zannan old solider likes to shadowstep and what's noteworthy about it is that it also likes to use pressure special ability to reduce the enemies gauge.

The grass dancer and the grass killer are both quicklings as well and have interesting features. The dancer is a ranged bow user that uses fascination dance and brainwashes. Has the eye of illusion special attack too. Comes with the cResEle bit that provides massive damage resist to elemental attacks/spells. The grass killer also comes with that bit but what's interesting about the grass killer is that it uses shining wave. Both seem like interesting pets to have but like most good things, there's always a catch. All quicklings suffer from a horrible life attribute like bells. So raising one will be difficult without proper ruby equipment and being constantly aware of how they're doing in combat. Hero cheese naturally solves the problem if you can farm it.
