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!

When a traveller asks for yep in finding something to eat and you fight a monster, does that monster also have a chance of coming home with you as a pet?

Ok, so I bought the monster certification, put it on my pet and battled one monster. It says I caught it (it was added to my museum monster collection). So I battled another of the same kind and was told it would be in my lair - it isn't. So where did it go? (I was looking under the "unsorted" category where the game usually puts my captures.

Awww...I've "captured" all of the monsters -- and I don't like to battle :( not one bit.. :( at all :(
And I have the monster certificate - yea - but now I can't catch them for my lair. I've tried time and again and they don't come home with me.
Geeshh... I'd love to collect one of each, but at this rate ... um... no.

Darklady (#66600) Once you have the certification, the monsters have a 10% chance of coming home with you if you knock them out, not if you capture them

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."

I'm not gonna lie. When I first saw the monsters I got excited and captured it. I spent a whole hour trying to find it in my lair. XD
I was such a n00b. XD
Now I can ACTUALLY get them ;D;

So basically you have to make the monsters vanish from the fight screen and you get the chance to take one home, then? Ok, I can blast them.

shoot, if you have to agree to a prompt after killing the monster, than fighting them in the battledome won't work. Sigh... *goes off to recapture all the monsters*
