The '''[[Jade Cocoon']]'' series currently{{when}} consists of two games that revolve around capturing [[Mons]] and having them fight for you. Characters were designed by [[Studio Ghibli]] artist Katsuya Kondo, who was also the animation director.
 
The first game's premise has the protagonist Levant sent into the divine forest to find a cure for a deadly sleep-sickness brought to his village by locusts.
 
The second game, set a century after the end of the first, has [[Idiot Hero]] Kahu attempting to cure himself of a nasty curse which threatens to consume his mind.

Line 115 ⟶ 114:
* [[The Resenter]]: {{spoiler|Dr. Gil}} otherwise respects Kahu and is very friendly to him, but in the final dungeon you have to fight a physical manifestation of his jealousy over the fact that the Forest chose Kahu to be the Chosen One over him.
* [[Ridiculously Cute Critter]]: Most larval minions are this, especially the Mau class.
* [[Shout-Out]]: One of the sub-plots in the Fire Forest revolves around Nam being accused of stealing another beasthunter's cocoon. During one of the dialogues, the beasthunter will describe the stolen cocoon as [[The Lord of the Rings|his precious]].
* [[Super-Powered Evil Side]]: Kahu, {{spoiler|Cure}} and {{spoiler|Levant}}.
* [[Suspicious Videogame Generosity]]: Highly averted. You have no idea (without looking it up) what any given Ogrevine might contain until you enter it, and if it happens to be a boss, you're thrust straight into the fight.
