    Default Monster Rancher d20?

    Would anyone be interested in this? How would you stat out the monsters? I'm mostly looking at the iconic ones, plus a couple that apparently didn't make the cut out of MR2 but are my favorites nonetheless (such as Worm). I figure they'd be magical beasts (a given), maybe a couple are constructs (Henger), aberrations (Jell?), or outsiders (Joker) but not many. I'm less interested in the monster tamer/rancher class, just some opinions on making the various monsters. The monsters would probably be around 1-2 HD, at least the ones you can unlock early, and the ones you have to earn have more HD (and corresponding increase in power).
    I know there's been a few folks making a d20 Pokemon on-and-off for years, but I haven't found many who're doing Monster Rancher. Of course, if someone's beat me to it, then I'd be much obliged if you'd point me their way.

    I never played Monster Rancher, so I'm not really familiar, but I always love seeing new monsters and some of the ones I remember were pretty cool.

    This fellow looks like some kind of beholderkin...

    It was in the vein of Pokemon and Digimon World, one of the pet monster type games. You raised a monster you unlocked from a CD or DVD (a "Mystery Disc" in game terms). I'm probably going to use the BESM system for most of this, honestly.
    You could also combine monsters, resulting in a sort of hybrid monster with traits from both parents (basically, the body mesh came from the base monster, while the skin came from the secondary monster - it was also reflected statistically). I plan on using templates for that.
