The Bestiary (ハントカタログ, Hanto Katarogu?) is an option in the Clan Primer in Final Fantasy XII that provides the player with detailed descriptions of the enemies slain during the game. After the first enemy of a particular type is killed, it will appear in the bestiary.
Completing the bestiary by killing every foe once adds a sprite of Ba'Gamnan in the Sky Pirate's Den and awards the "Scrivener" trophy in The Zodiac Age. Completing the bestiary is considered the most difficult trophy to earn as some are difficult to spawn and several of the Espers and bosses are taxing to defeat (most notably Yiazmat).
Some enemies have extra entries that can be unlocked by killing a specific number of them. Enemies that potentially can only be encountered once (i.e. Marks, Espers, Rare Game and named members of the Archadian Empire) do not have such entries.
The bestiary in the PlayStation 2 versions shows illustrations of the enemies, but The Zodiac Age version shows 3D models instead.

Humanoid entries
These are entries on humanoid enemies the player has defeated. Only enemies will count (red dots on minimap); killing one that is classed as an ally (green dot) will not. Of those classed as enemies, some are docile so the player must initiate combat. Each entry has a five-page story to unlock, similar to the one-page entries of regular area monsters. The number of required kills listed in game is that needed to unlock only the next page in the set.
Archadian Empire entries
These are entries on members of the Archadian Empire's military that the player has defeated. In practice, this entire section will be completed naturally by the time the player has completed the events at the Pharos.
- Imperial a b c d e
- Judge Ghis
- Imperial Elite a b c d
- Judge Bergan
- Imperial Armament a b c d e
- Judge Gabranth
- Doctor Cid

Trivia
- The bestiary text was localized with Victorian-era characterization, but reads like "a dry high school Biology textbook" in Japanese, as described by the translators Joseph Reeder and Alexander O. Smith.[1]
