I'm aware of the need to add more monsters with a better balance in distribution too. I would love to see some Mandragora trotting around Gridania. Flytraps, Funguars and Malboros does not make a healthy forest. What I have seen so far though with the adding of new monsters is basically replacing the spawns of older monsters. (Yarzon>Flan; Mistbeard Cove, Dormouse>Diremite; Nine Ivies, etc) There are even areas of the world that have only one monster type walking around. (Qiqirn; Oakwood, Goblin; Five Hangs, etc) I explored enough to touch all the crystal points and noticed the mob groupings pretty much became the same stuff over and over. (Lindworm, Ogre, Boar, Basilisk, Drake, Smolenkos)

So there is a lot of work to be done but if I can only ask for 1 NM, it would be the T-rex. Rawr
