A beautiful breed of Plant who holds the record for the most name changes in the games. Its first two incarnations are a cold white plant bulb with silken purple "leaves" with golden edges and blooms made of solid gold. It is redesigned for its last three appearances as a regular green plant bulb with a singular huge Template:Ns bloom on top. When it appears in Monster Rancher EVO, it is at first assumed to be a completely different monster with a ??? sub-type.
Etymology[]
Originally named for its regal bearing. (Regal)
Later named for its gold coloring. (Gold Plant)
Eventually, its name (Sampler) becomes a mistranslation of the word "Sun Plant," a nod to its connection with the Gali species.
Its Japanese name is Kinpunsou.
