All Primary Monsters In Monster Rancher

There are many monsters in monster rancher. They consist of what is called primary-species which define monster’s basic form and abilities and a sub-species which defines monster’s color scheme, modifies appearance, and slightly alters some of its statistical capabilities. Sub-species is produced by combining primary-species monster and another one. For example Titan, it is combination of Golem and Suezo manifested as a large humanoid figure in Golem form with the bright yellow skin and single eye that are characteristic of the Suezo. Each Primary-species also has at least one "rare" sub-species. These unusual monsters cannot be created by combining. For example, Moo can only obtained from specific CD. It is combination of Dragon primary-species and ??? which means unidentified monster. All Rare monsters are always notated as Primary/???.
