MONSTERS!
The moment you have all been waiting for...you can now catch monsters as custom pets!
The first thing you will need to catch monsters is a Monster Certification, which acts like a skill item. When you obtain a Monster Certification, you apply it to your active pet to give that pet the skill to catch monsters as customs.
You may be well on your way to catching monsters if you have been keeping up on your museum collection of monsters (previously in the Adventure/Battledome features but ported over to the museum). You can view your collection of Ay and Ara monsters here in the museum.
When you collect one of each monster in Ay and Ara, the museum operator will give you a Monster License to use on your choice of pet. If you want to get started RIGHT NOW, or you don't want to collect monsters first, you can pick up a Monster License in the USD Shop for $10.00.
You can read about monster breeding and customs in their new Knowledge Base article. Note that we only have lines for a certain number of monsters, and no shading available, so if you want to use Recolor Potions on the monsters you capture, it would have to be the ones with source files available.
However, the userbase can alleviate the problem of having no source files by donating relines to this thread. When a reline is donated and accepted, everyone can start customizing the colors of that type of monster.
Speaking of Recolor Potions, because you'll be needing them for the monster release to customize your monsters' colors, we've decided to re-release them into the USD Shop for some pretty cheap prices. You can pick up a five pack of Recolor Potions for $8, or a ten pack for $12.
Enjoy!

The holiday lane and apocalypse event monsters where no customs... same with the Rainbow Sky event and the wolf and deer monsters from the wolf and deer event. I understand that Bex' monster would (and should) not be available as possible custom monsters, but those which were only created for specific events I really would like to see at some point to be available as a custom monster.

So wait, is it a 10% chance of getting a monster or is it 10% of getting one you can customize? Cause I'd enjoy just catching some of the monsters as-is and just having them as pets.

Or do they only become pets when you have that certification?

I wouldn't be surprised if that happened, I just don't think they all would be available. XD

When you get the certificate, you have a 10% chance of a monster coming home with you after you fight/capture it. It'll be the default, but you can use a recolor potion if you want.

I wish they had mini prizes in between monster collections, like maybe a R100 item from that region upon completing it.

For details, see the KB Article. It explains how to capture Monsters. https://www.aywas.com/knowledge/view/138/
Choose one:
-> Capture via Battle one of each type of Monster in the regular Adventure Areas.
-> Buy the Monster Certification Skill item via the shop or from another user.
This gets you the Skill in item form. It is used on a Pet just like the other Skill items, and grants a permanent 10% chance after KO'ing a monster (with the pet that has the Skill) that the monster will offer to join your Lair as a "Custom Monster". You can choose to accept or reject the new monster, just like pets.
It will have the default artwork of the monster defeated, exactly as it appears in Adventure. You can then customize Monsters with a Recolor Potion, or leave them as-is.
Monsters from User Events are not included in this feature, as their sponsors did not agree to this kind of distribution and the potential issues already pointed out, and the fact that those areas are closed to the userbase after the event.
As far as I'm aware, there is no pull date set for the Recolor bulk packs, they may well remain there indefinitely if they're popular.

To everyone having trouble catching monsters (especially the more rare ones): teach your pet Mudsling!
It's a tier 1 skill, meaning it won't do all that much damage, so you can just use it once to see how much damage it will do, then maybe use it again if it looks like you can - more importantly though, it poisons. This means that you can just keep trying to catch it, and every turn the poisoned monster will take a little bit more damage but still a lot less than you could ever hope to do with even a tier 1 skill), and become a little easier to catch. In the end, it should work, though it might take a very long time. If it looks like your pet might die before you can catch the monster, just use the fountain, and if you need to use it again but can't, just let the battle sit for a bit until you can use it again - tedious, but it works.
