Customized Monsters
Many monsters are customized in heRO to be different than what one will expect from a typical 5/5/3 Ragnarok Online pre-renewal server to suit the server's needs. Renewal monsters are rebalanced to fit with heRO's pre-renewal mechanics. Monsters, especially MVPs, have their loot tables adjusted to fit with the current power level in gears. Many original monsters are also added to heRO as well for an unique and challenging PvM experience for all players.
This page contains details of all customized monster changes in the server, including original monsters, divided by their location.
