	Some monsters can spawn as a rare variant. The spawn rate is <code>1/500</code>, with the exception of the Episode 4 boss [[Kondrieu]] spawning at a rate of <code>1/10</code>. Rare monsters have 100% DAR and a very high RDR. The overall chance to obtain an item from a rare monster can be calculated by combining the spawn rate with the RDR.
