Final Fantasy X Monster Arena: A Collector's Checklist

There's good FFX Monster Arena FAQs out there with in-depth strategies on how to defeat FFX's  nastiest bosses, how to find them, what you can steal from them, what they drop. I recommend the Monster Arena FAQ on Final Fantasy Insider which gives a quick rundown and strategies for each Monster Arena boss, or, for more in-depth tips and complete stats/items on every fiend, see Christine Bomke's FFX Monster Arena Guide at Square Haven.

So why make another FFX Monster Arena page? Simple. I wanted an easy-to-use, printable FFX Monster Arena Checklist to help me track my collection. Below is one I created for myself which I hope others will find handy.

P.S. Also see my useful How to Win the Blitzball Tournament guide!

To the right of each location's name is the Monster Arena's Area Conquest boss unlocked by collecting 1 of all species in that area. Collecting enough of certain species (amounts indicated by italics) will unlock Species Conquest bosses. At the bottom of the list are the requirements for unlocking Original Monster bosses.

This will definitely come in handy.
