In the world of Golden Sun, Weyard, there are many enemy monsters that roam the land. They range from ordinary forest animals to ghosts and other undead creatures. Here, they will be grouped on separate pages according to these types. Bosses are found on a separate page as well.
There are also "Families" of monsters that can be found in the game. These are usually recolored versions of the earlier monsters. They share common traits, but often have more techniques and are significantly stronger.
