Bestiary (Final Fantasy XII)

The Bestiary is an option in the Clan Primer from Final Fantasy XII. As expected, it provides the player with detailed descriptions of all the enemies slain during the game. However, slay enough enemies, and the player will be rewarded with additional information on several topics. Completing the bestiary (by killing every foe once, the extra pages do not need to be unlocked) adds a sprite of Ba'Gamnan in the Sky Pirate's Den and grants the player the title Scrivener. Completing the bestiary is considered the most difficult trophy to earn.

Area Entries
This includes every regular enemy in the game. Once a certain number of an enemy have been defeated, an extra page will be unlocked in that enemy's entry giving more detailed information. 78 of these extra entries make up Sage Knowledge, background information on all of Ivalice.
