Phantasy Star III Japanese-to-English Monster Name Translation List What follows is a hopefully complete bestiary of the Japanese version of PS3 (excluding bosses, of course). Format: English name - raw Japanese name - a translation of the Japanese name, or at least a valiant attempt at such. Anything that looks like pure nonsense most probably is - an attempt to translate a name fabricated from whole cloth, or a missed reference on my part. If you have a better idea for an adaptation, go for it. I probably should have put spaces where inferrable in the raw Japanese names, but it'd still be extrapolation, I suppose, and the translated names make matters clear enough in that area. The monster lists follow the order of those at http://ps3.huguesjohnson.com. Monsters with a single asterisk have been apparently excised from the game itself, appearing only in the ROM data; I've taken their names from http://freett.com/naknak/game/ps/koryaku/ps3/monster.html. (The exceptions are the Maxmech and the Droidman, both of which supposedly appear in the game but did not show up on any of my runthroughs.) Compiled/translated 11/17/12 by R.

I believe "Werze" is supposed to be reminiscent of "werewolf." - The dragons' names mean "Dragon King," "Dragon Overlord," and possibly "Red Dragon King," judging by the color of the Wyrm's mane, though I probably have that one wrong. - "Wazerl" is supposed to have a long "a", like "laser." - Concerning monster appearances: I did run into the Twistbot/Lewton series in my games, which were on a ROM that I believe was taken from a Japanese Mega Drive cart (it's dated to 1997). These enemies are supposedly absent from the Genesis version, an issue which might be region- restricted; the enemies' middle legs look slightly phallic if you squint, which might have prompted their removal from the U.S. version. Or maybe it's a glitch. This _is_ PS3 we're talking about. Speaking of glitches, in my search for a Maxmech, I did encounter another PS3 bug. On Azura/the Azure Moon, if you enter the underground glass-tiled dungeon where Siren waits and then exit back to the surface, the horizontal scrolling will be delightfully stuck. The characters can still wander left or right - the game just won't scroll with them; the party will instead just wander off-frame. I tried to see if the scrolling glitch persisted if you left Azura, so I made my way to where the shuttle should have been. The party didn't leave, however. As I made my way back, though, a) the ROM started stuttering, b) I began encountering Laian monsters (specifically, snails, dinos, and Rappies) instead of Orakian robots, and c) while the game allowed me to move downward, it would not allow me to move back north. As I reached the southern wall, I started encountering robots again, but the ROM stuttering got worse. I also found I couldn't leave Azura. A minor glitch, but recording it here for posterity.
