I wish moombas would put in another appearance, aside from being lulu's playthings in ffx.

They rock moogles and chocobos to worlds apart.

A lot of these 'repeating monsters' you guys are listing are just mythical beasts, and nothing special of square's invention xD wyverns, cockatrices, etc.

I was thinking the other night about what a perfect monster a geezard was. It's obviously an aligator, but it's a lizard! and it's an old geezer that can't harm you hardly at all xD

Malboro is also another awesome name to come up with xD brand recognition yo.

I thought it was cool how they switched mythologies in ffx-2 and went with persian beasts and names xD Maybe they'll do something like that for monsters in ffxii.
