They have an innocent smile that charms any foe.
Mementotlan Goblin
They can’t seem to remember a certain word for the unlife of them.
Mementotlan Ghattic
For some reason, they seem to be restless and nervous and often hide behind things.
Mementotlan Angwitch
She loathes fate. She’s a witch girl going her own way.
Mementotlan Twin Dragon
Because they are always electrified, they are extremely poor at hide-and-seek.
Mementotlan Fusion
Mementotlan Dark Blade
It seems his body naturally remembers the tremendous attacks he unleashed.
Mementotlan Tatsunootoshigo

Mementotlan-Horned Dragon
They’re concerned about how scary and diabolic their face looks.

I love the Memento monsters, I hope we will get more in the future.
I didn’t expect the Memento lore to be so light and carefree. It makes me like them even more!
Keep the lore coming
NOOOO, TRI-HORNED DRAGON HAS SELF-CONSCIOUSNESS ISSUES! T___T
The Twin Dragon and Horned Dragon lore… what?
Archetype is more wholesome than it appears.
Way to waste hispanic mythos by adding nostalgia pandering stuff.
You really are speaking as if they don’t reuse themes all the time, we have two tarot archetypes, several Tree of Life archetypes, and this isn’t even the first that leans in Mesoamerican stuff, since Eldlich is partially based on El Dorado.
You must be fun at parties
I already liked the archetype, but the fact that their lore got some goofy tones only makes them better
would’ve been in side joke if they were zombies
since players that stuck with konami this long are like zombies
I love how these are just a bunch of goofballs.
The Mementos have Pyroxene Cores
This is a prequel to the Terminal World
Mace’s pink Pyroxene could become one of the monochrome ones
Goblin = Disk
Ghattic = Carrier
Angwitch = Scout
Blade = Helix
Tatsu = Monolith
Horned = Cephalopod
Conqueror = Towers
Skybase = Creation
Leaving the black Pyroxene (Shell) and the grey Pyroxene (Stealth).
Twin Dragon has a mixture of Ghattic and Angwitch’s Pyroxenes.
Given we’re only missing levels 10 and 12 in Memento, and 12 will likely be a bigger Tecuhtlica, Mace is either Shell or Stealth. Interestingly, none of the Gem-Knights have a matching Pyroxene to Mace, either. This makes sense if the Mementos are the Qliphorts in the past, as the Qliphorts’ lost Pyroxenes were the cores of the Gem-Knights. Meaning, if this theory holds true, between the time of Mementotlan and the formation of the Sacred Tree, something happens to corrupt Mace’s Pyroxene in some way.
