Bravely Default 2: All Beastmaster Pets and Best Captures

The Beastmaster Job in Bravely Default 2 is a very strong and versatile class. It is a great one to level early and can make several fights much easier if you capture the right pets. There are well over 100 to capture, but some of them are not as good as others.

This guide will only go over all of the available pets. There will be a separate guide to go over the skills and overview play of the Job.

Full Beastmaster Pet List

Now, I will list all of the pets you can capture in Bravely Default 2. They are relatively in order you get see them in the game, though a few may not be. This means that the ones furthest down the list, are ones you get late game and will be more powerful at the end. This list is a work in progress as I continue through the game and capture more monsters.

If you see anything missing, or wrong, let me know and I will fix it!
