Hooray for math! I'm so glad you posted this, because I am also very into math. We should talk about math more often, especially involving monsters. You should read my blog post here.

Also, there is an easier way to get a grand total of 63. For each monster, it either has each element or it doesn't, so it can be represented in binary; 0 for lacking it, and 1 for having it. Since there are six elements, the monster with all six would have six digits (111111), which is equivalent to 63 (2^6 - 1). There are actually 64 conbinations, but one of them is having no elements at all, and I doubt that monster is going to be added, so there are only 63.

With 5 elements (normal game), there are 30 natural monsters. The reason there aren't 32 (2^5) or 31 (2^5 - 1) is because there is no zero or five element monster. So 32 - 2 = 30.

Thanks again for the blog post.
