Bugs[]
- There is a bug when you start browsing abilities to unlock, several different images of monsters will overlap the previous ones.
- Abilities sometimes malfunction when you just recently started researching an ability or train a monster in a Monster Locker.
Trivia[]
- Pokey, Octo-ooze, Ichi, Crabatron and Zafreeti are the only Overworld monsters that don't have any special abilities available for researching in the Monster Lab.
- Most Inferno Monsters also have tjeir own special abilities, such as Malphus's ability to jump over walls, or King Wormzer's ability to deal splash damage when bursting up from underground. Unlike the Overworld Monster's abilities however, these do not require research or being unlocked anywhere but are instead available to the Inferno Monsters from the get-go.
- Vorg has the ability to splash heal, but this is not unlocked in the Monster Lab.
- Octo-ooze was originally supposed to have an ability called "Fission", which would make it split in two when killed. However, it was scrapped and given to Slimeattikus.
- It seems that monsters released after post-Inferno do not need any training in the Monster Lab to receive their abilities. All Inferno monsters, Vorgs, and Slimeattikus share this trait.
- As of June 10, 2011, the Monster Lab, along with most abilities (excluding Fink's Claws, Eye-ra's Airburst, and Fang's Venom), have been added to the game.
- It says 'Title' instead of 'Time' where the details about the upgrade are.
- Streampost text for monster lab upgrades fixed.
