Monsters (Japanese: モンスター) are usually, though not always, hostile creatures primarily encountered in Dungeons in 
Mystery Dungeon: Shiren the Wanderer 2 - Shiren's Castle and the Oni Invasion.
Monsters tend to be based on creatures from Japanese folklore, such as Oni, Kappa, or animals such as pigs. Most monsters have special abilities, not tied to their types. Individual monster families tend to have similar abilities that get stronger as they level up, along with their stats.
Families
Monster Families are comprised of 1 - 4 monsters that all share a physical appearance, and level up or down into each other. Such as how the Mamel levels into the Pit Mamel and then the Cave Mamel and vice versa when leveling down.
Types
Each monster has a Monster-type, which determines how specific items or item types will affect them. For example, the Echo Shield will nullify the attacks of monsters that are the Staff Attack-type. Dragon-type monsters will be weak to the Dragonkiller, and their fire will be weakened by the Dragonward.
