+
+There are 224 enemies in Lufia 2. Most of their properties are stored 
+in what I call the "Monster Compendium".

+Monster data - the "Monster Compendium"

+[$0B07C0 -> $0B097F]:  pointers to data at [$0B0980]
+                       (2 bytes, little-endian (i.e. "least significant 
+                                                      byte first"))
+
+                       448 bytes => 224 pointers.
+                       Add $0B07C0 to the pointers to find the offsets
+                       of the Monster Compendium "entries".
+
+                       Example:

+                       => pointer: $01C0
+                       => offset: $01C0 + $0B07C0 = $0B0980
+                       => The first Monster Compendium entry starts 
+                          at offset [$0B0980]
+
+[$0B0980 -> $0B5168]:  "Monster Compendium"
+
+                       224 entries:

+                       [$0B09A5]:  Armor goblin

+
+If there's a $03 after the EXP and GOLD bytes (=> at offset [+$0021], 
+it means that the enemy can drop an item. 
+
+Format of the "gift bytes" 
+
+$03 XX YY 
+(!!! this $03 is not the L2BASM opcode $03) 
+
+$XX = the low byte of the item number 
+
+$YY = high byte of the item number (always $00 or $01) + p 
+
+      p is a number related to the probability of getting 
+      the item, maybe probability * 4. It's always an even number. 
+
+Example:
+
+Gift bytes of the Vampire: $03 73 65 
+  $65 = $64 + $01 
+  => item number: $0173 (Bat rock) 
+  => p = $64 = 100 = 4 * 25 
+     => 25 % (?) chances that a defeated Vampire 
+        will drop a Bat rock
