'''Notorious Monsters''' are rare enemies that will read as "[[Impossible to Gauge]]" when [[check]]ed. They are typically unique, with only one appearing in the area, and are often much tougher than other monsters in the area. There are a variety of useful items that are dropped exclusively by Notorious Monsters, but not all Notorious Monsters drop items - those generated by [[quest]]s and [[mission]]s will often not drop anything at all, but must be defeated to progress through the quest.

Many Notorious Monsters possess powerful or unique abilities, such as the [[Two Hour Ability|two-hour ability]] of their job, and may have other unusual traits or behavior. Some especially powerful Notorious Monsters also have [[True Sight]] or [[True Hearing]], allowing them to detect characters under the effects of [[Invisible (Status Effect)|invisible]] and [[Sneak (Status Effect)|sneak]].
