Elite Monsters and Elite Bosses have prefixes that give them a random effect. This thread is a guide that tells you which prefix does what.
Buffs: Speedy - Increases Speed Beefy - Increases Weapon Defense Magic Resistant - Increases Magic Defense Powerful - Increases Weapon Attack Healer - Periodically recovers HP equal to the cube of the monster's level divided by 15 to user and nearby enemies Solid - Temporarily immune to non-critical hits Invincible - Temporary immunity Reflective - Gives Damage Reflect that deals damage equal to the square of the monster's level divided by 7.5 Commanding - Creates a blue aura that grants the preceding prefix's buff when monsters are in the aura Debuffs: Sticky - Causes a modified Slow which drops your speed to 50% Fragile - Causes Weakness which prevents jumping Shadowy - Causes Fear of Darkness which reduces your vision Befuddling - Causes Confusion which reverses your movement keys Magnetic - Causes Magnetized which draws you to the monster (Removed) Gassy - Creates a Poison cloud that damages you when you are in the cloud Poisonous - Causes Poison which deals damage over time Evasive - Causes Blindness which makes you miss often if you are not a Magician Seal Master - Causes Seal which disables your skills Transformative (Renamed) Master of Disguise - Can transform you into a pig which will render you helpless KO (Renamed) Overwhelming - Causes Stun which stops your movement and skills Overwhelming (Renamed) Unstoppable - Causes Shadow of Darkness which deals damage if you do not move Accursed - Causes Curse which reduces your EXP gain by 50% Magic Eater - Dispels buffs from players (Removed) Undead - Causes Undead which cuts your potion recovery by 50% Dry - Causes Potion Lock which prevents potion usage Petrifying - Causes Bind and you must press < and > alternately to break free otherwise you die Seductive (Renamed) Charming (Renamed again) Charismatic - Causes Seduce which locks your control of your character Debilitating - Creates a dark aura that causes the preceding prefix's debuff when you are in the aura Black Chains - Adds a %HP attack that inflicts a random debuff
Usually elite monsters with two will be Commanding or Debilitating with one of the other modifiers. Elite bosses, on the other hand, like to throw three in for, I assume, laughs. It's fun having a Debilitating Reflective Black Chains spawn on you.
