Actually, Lunastra was "excluded" because like in freedom 2 she was "Low Rank Only"...wasn't relevant at all

Chamaleos, on the other side required a very big rework, poison, invisibility, thieving, fatigue... but about damage? nothing serious if my memory isn't tricking me... you only had to take antidotes, meats and the anti-thieving armor

these are the only things i can think... i would have wanted Amatsu in this game just to be able to hunt it internationally (Only him is missing... hunting it internationally would have made it a "new monster" to us (not to mention i WANT its Shrine Maiden Armor)
