Vagrant Story is going to throw a lot of enemies at you - perhaps not as many as in some other RPGs, but believe me, it'll be plenty. Each enemy has certain base statistics - these are then slightly modified up or down by a few points in each incarnation of that enemy. For instance, you may find some Dark Skeletons with 148 HP and some with 154, but these values will all be close to 150, the base value. Aside from the many enemies in Lea Monde itself, there are also other enemies that won't be listed in the in-game Encyclopaedia - namely, the Crimson Blades and other humans who don't live in Lea Monde, as well as dummies (who can be found in all enemy classes but all have the same statistics).

All enemies have innate statistics just like Ashley. They also have elemental affinities and vulnerabilities to certain weapon types. Instead of listing all those figures, I've instead listed just their weaknesses. The "Weakness (Elemental)" column lists the enemies' weaknesses to elemental magic; the "Weakness (Weapon)" column lists their weaknesses to weapon types. In the case of Asura and Ravana, the elemental weaknesses vary from body part to body part; however, each part will definitely be weak to one element. I usually just use physical attacks against both of them, though.

Also, there are a few cases in the game where certain enemies first appear as major enemies, with a big entrance scene and bonus at the end of the fight, and then reappear as generic enemies later in the game. When they serve as major enemies, the game pumps them up quite significantly - thus, the first Ogre you fight will have 540 HP, not 370, though the game will keep his weaknesses and affinities. All other Ogres in the game will have 370 HP, though.
