In the original SNES version of ''VI'' monster recruitment worked identically to ''V'', though someone in the party must be a [[Monster Master]]. When the DS version (and subsequent mobile ports) were produced, this mechanic was retired in favor of "Slime Buddies": slimes players could interact with in towns and dungeons like NPCs who would join the party once certain conditions were met. These slimes are not treated as full characters, however, and thus lack the detailed party chat of humans and Lizzie.

In both versions of the game, any recruited slime may enter into the gladiatorial contests at [[Slimopolis]].

Certain monsters can be recruited by players beginning in version 2.4 Taming is done through a skill attack that creates a fixed 10% chance to capture the monster once it falls. The skill does not need to be the final blow of the battle; as long as it has been used over the course of the encounter the chance to recruit the beast is established. Monsters that have joined players are controlled through A.I. and essentially serve as party members for times when the player's fiends and comrades are offline.

On explorer's shores after Skelkatrez, one can recruit monsters with Monster Munchies.
On explorer's shores after Skelkatrez, one can recruit monsters with [[Monster munchies]]. When a monster that can be tamed is defeated, there is a chance that it will stand up instead of fading away and a thirty second timer will begin to count down--the munchies must be used in this period or the monster will become annoyed and go away.
 
Tamed monsters join the residents of the Island of Awakening as NPCs, who go about their daily routines as the other islanders do, and some have special effects: the chimaeras can be ridden to fly, the powie yowie can be given an ice lolly to spread snow, the liquid metal slime will play tag once a day for 100 hearts, etc.

While monsters retain a base chance to join the player upon defeat as in previous games, the chance can be greatly enhanced by using [[Monster munchies]] in battle.
