For today's blog post, I'll be discussing how your monster friend changes forms throughout the game.

The Forms
The hastily spliced screenshot up there isn't actual gameplay, but you will see every playable monster form in there. As mentioned earlier, your monster starts off as a simple slime. However, there are sages in the land of Granti that can power up your pet in a variety of ways, usually through a transformation. There is only one sage that you have to find, however. The rest are completely optional, and you might have to do a bit of exploring to find them.


Tiers
There are five different "tiers" for your creature. What this means is that, each time your creature evolves, it'll be into the next tier, and the creature it evolves into will be based on a choice on the part of the player. So, out of the 40+ possible forms, you'll only be seeing five of them per playthrough. The tiers are as follows:

Slime - The starting tier. Not a very useful tier, for sure.

Basic - The first choice that happens to also be mandatory. There are three possible outcomes in this tier.

Alignment - This tier offers your creature an alignment of either "Heaven", "Hell", or "Earth". Your creature will transform based on your choice for both this tier and the Basic tier, for 9 possible creatures.

Balance - For this tier, "Order" and "Chaos" are the options. This tier has the most creatures with 18 different monsters.

Ultimate - The final tier with the 12 best monsters. Whichever monster is chosen will be based on all of the player's previous choices.


That's it for now. So what do you think? Do you like this take on monster evolution?
