Unused Enemies

This is a sub-page of Xenoblade Chronicles.

Stats, Arts, and drop data for these enemies are currently unknown.

Mechonis Core#

The Mechonis itself has a listing in the enemy table. Most of its stats are copied from Yaldabaoth's. While it doesn't participate in the battle directly, it mirrors some of Yaldabaoth's animations, which is visible with some difficulty out the windows (and with prominence when Bionis Slash X is foreseen). Interestingly, as Egil swings his sword around, Mechonis copies him only until it might strike the Bionis, where it halts.

This page or section needs more images.
There's a whole lotta words here, but not enough pictures. Please fix this.
Specifically: could be worth showing how the Mechonis animations mirror Yaldabaoth's, since they're difficult to see ingame

Bionis' Interior#

When fighting Disciple Lorithia, she summons four Novas (fancy-named Nebulas) called "Primo Nova", "Secondo Nova", "Quarto Nova", and "Quinto Nova". They're named as Italian for first, second, fourth, fifth - so what happened to the third one? Well, apparently both it and a sixth one were cut. Slotted between Secondo and Quarto is an unnamed enemy, and there's also a blank after Quinto before the rest of the Interior's monsters. They're of the two unused nebula colours and have thematically-appropriate crystal loot and spike effects, but have no arts.

Of note is that each entry in the game's enemy spawn tables only has room for five enemies, so the only way for Lorithia to spawn a sixth Nova would be to use a different summoning art. She does have two summoning arts, but she only has one of them equipped, and the enemy spawns they point to have identical contents.

Notes

Spirit - Face

思念体・フェイス

en015241

(1075127326.brres)

Located between Spirit - Xord and Spirit - Gadolt. Appears to have been cut due to being a Spirit version of a regular enemy instead of a boss.

Spirit - Disciple Lorithia

思念体・使途ロウラン

en080401

(1082146846.brres)

Located between Spirit - Telethia and Zanza, so she was likely to have been intended to be the last enemy encountered in Memory Space before confronting Zanza. Her model is the same one used by the Asara Telethia. Judging from the fact she doesn't have a unique model, it is likely this enemy was cut early on.

Test Zanza

テスト用ザンザ

en090701

(1083207710.brres)

Appears to be a testing enemy for Zanza's final form.

Test Bunnits#

Grouped between the Colony 6 and Ether Mines enemy lists is a listing consisting solely of... testing bunnits? One of these bunnits, Hit & Away, is named after a skill from the Super Robot Wars series.

Other#

To do:
There are A LOT more enemies left to document, including "Mass-Produced Dummy" and Wolf enemies. All of these text entries have also been localized into every single language (even the 3 new languages in XCDE translated these enemies). All enemy bdats from definitive edition are available in plaintext here: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/673287054058192920/845043158768287824/enemy_lang.zip

  • Nearly every enemy has a duplicate with a preliminary name, the only apparent exceptions to this being any test enemies and the unused Spirit - Disciple Lorithia. The English names of these preliminary enemies appear to be the result of a machine translation, as they often contain grammatical errors.
  • The enemies that appear outside the barrier during several battles have their own entries in the enemy list, usually having Dummy (ダミー) somewhere in their names. These names cannot be seen at all during gameplay as even if you do moonjump outside the barrier, you cannot target them, and they cannot attack you.

Entries that are listed more than once are noted.
