The '''Bestiary''' {{J|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 grants the player the title Scrivener. Completing the bestiary is considered the most difficult trophy to earn as some of the rare game are difficult to spawn and several of the [[Esper (Final Fantasy XII)|Espers]] and bosses are taxing to defeat (most notably [[Yiazmat (Final Fantasy XII)|Yiazmat]]).

To fill the bestiary completely, the player needs to kill at least one of every normal enemy, and defeat all [[Hunt (Final Fantasy XII)|Hunt]]s and [[Rare Game]] (trophy Rare Game included). [[Chocobo (Final Fantasy XII)|Chocobos]] and the different types of humanoid enemies (i.e. [[bangaa]], [[seeq]], etc) all share the same bestiary entry, so the player doesn't need to find every variation. The enemies not needed for bestiary completion are the [[List of final bosses|final bosses]] and the enemies in the [[Sky Fortress Bahamut|very last dungeon]] (accessed past the [[point of no return]]), as well as the Trial Stage 100 enemies in the ''Zodiac'' versions. The player can fill the bestiary by either fighting in the normal game, or in the [[Trial Mode]].
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. [[Hunt (Final Fantasy XII)|Marks]], Espers, [[Rare Game]] and named members of the [[Archadia|Archadian Empire]]) do not have such entries.

Ffxii-bestiary

Bestiary.

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. 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/achievement 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).

To fill the bestiary completely, the player needs to kill at least one of every normal enemy, and defeat all Hunts and Rare Game (trophy Rare Game included). Chocobos and the different types of humanoid enemies (i.e. bangaa, seeq, etc) all share the same bestiary entry, so the player doesn't need to find every variation. The enemies not needed for bestiary completion are the final bosses and the enemies in the very last dungeon (accessed past the point of no return), as well as the Trial Stage 100 enemies in the Zodiac versions. The player can fill the bestiary by either fighting in the normal game, or in the Trial Mode.

Some enemies have extra lore entries in their bestiary 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.

Creation and development

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] Alexander O. Smith pored over Victorian-era medical textbooks to emulate their style when describing the creatures in the bestiary.[2]
