Freakish Bestiary



Freakish Bestiary (妖魔図録) is one of Zexion's lexicons in Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days. It can be upgraded to Freakish Bestiary+.

Design
The Freakish Bestiary lexicon is rectangular with curved corners on the ends of the covers, as well as a concave edge on each cover. Both the top and bottom edges of the spine are also concave. The both covers share a pale yellow, three-pronged symbol superimosed over a grey ring. The three-pronged symbol is vaguely remenicent of the three interconnected Nobody symbol design on the front cover of the Book of Retribution. The corners of the spine each sport a slightly curved, pale yellow rectangle, each with a grey border. The lexicon itself is mostly black and also has a grey border. The Arcane Compendium is nearly identical to this lexicon, save for its color scheme.

Something that is “freakish” is bizarre or unpredictable. A bestiary is a compendium of information on various animals, both real and fictional. “Ghostly” can mean “frightening”, and a picture book is a book, often intended for young children, with text accompanied by illustrations.
