Here’s the latest details on monsters found within Shiren the Wanderer: The Mystery Dungeon of Serpentcoil Island, via Spike Chunsoft:
Mamel
A mascot monster of the Shiren the Wanderer series. What it lacks in strength, it makes up for in cuteness.
Spearfish
An Aquatic-type monster akin to merfolk. Not only can they traverse both land and water, but they become stronger and recover lost health with every turn they spend in the water. The more powerful forms of this monster will strategically retreat to the water to regain their health if given the chance.
Octopling
An Aquatic-type monster that likes to pair up with other monsters. The more powerful forms of this monster get angry if their partner monster is defeated, and they will become stronger. Just like Spearfish, they also benefit from being in the water.
Lastly, Shiren the Wanderer: The Mystery Dungeon of Serpentcoil Island launches on February 27 for Nintendo Switch in the west.
