Help with recruit all villagers/animals targets

[Uratoh]

I swear I've recruited them all, they're at 11/12 and 4/5 respectively...I don't even understand how I can HAVE all five animal types on my island without having recruited them all, especially @_@.

Animals. All must be present on IOA at the same time. Not sure if young animals (puppy, kitten, chick, calf, and lamb) work or not.
1. Dog
2. Cat
3. Chicken
4. Cow
5. Sheep

Monster Families. I "think" they all need to be on IOA at same time, too, but not 100% sure here. Only need a representative of each family, not one of each specie.
1. Slime/She-Slime
2. Healslime
3. Muddy Hand/Bloody Hand
4. Great Sabrecub/Sabrecat (Sabrecat is a superstrong so hard to recruit, but super-useful)
5. Walking Corpse and other zombies
6. Chimaera and its variants
7. Golem / Stone Golem / Gold Golem (all of these are superstrongs so hard to recruit)
8. Brownie / Hammerhood
9. Powie Yowie (the game requires you to recruit one of these)
10. Hunter Mech / Kiling Machine (superstrongs so hard to recruit, but great farmers)
11. Living Statue / Stone Guardian (also uniques so hard to recruit)
12. Liquid Metal Slime (superstrong, so ditto)

Unsure if the monsters available in post-game events, Arisplotle or Spolodger for the Slime family or Smashley (the name the game uses internally) from Skelkatraz for the Hammerhood count or not. The other monsters like Jules the Goodybag or the skeletons might also work to satisfy a count of 12, if there's actually 16 types with these included. Its one of the things I'm working up to test on a new playthrough.

Resident Roles. The NPCs you bring back from story islands count toward a lot of these.
1. Villager
2. Farmer
3. Miner
4. Merchant (story forces you to recruit one of these)
5. Bartender
6. Dancer
7. Child
8. Elder (note that Jeremiah is actually a Villager, so you must recruit this one)
9. Nun
10. Soldier
11. Bard
12. Singer (the one you can't get until post-game; usually recruited but there's a secret to getting one by other means)

It appears some of the NPCs with unique roles, like Malroth's Enigma and Anessa's General do not count toward the 12 needed.

I'd gotten the monsters...the villager problem was assuming Jeremiah was an Elder. Also at some point my cats vanished from the island, I seriously don't remember sending them off @_@. Thanks for pointing Jeremiah out, have all of these covered now.

[lilisaur]

Yeah.. I thought maybe Jeremiah got you - that's why I added the note. It had to be Elder or Singer - those are the only two of the twelve that players wouldn't have. (You aren't provided a Merchant either, but forced to recruit one earlier and the 50 and 200 sales targets makes dismissing one very unlikely.)

A few NPCs aren't the profession you expect them to be (besides Jeremiah, Babs and Magrog are also both Villagers, too, not a Dancer and Miner, respectively) and of course I noted Anessa being General, not Soldier.
