So, I've been hunting these guys recently, and I've noticed that some are not giving me weapon/magic exp. To clarify, Suw Bizar 1 gives exp for me attacking it. Suw Bizar 1 dies. Start attacking Suw Bizar 2, no exp from things that cause damage (weapon,tm). Suw Bizar 2 dies. Suw Bizar 3 could be like 1 or 2.

I'll try and get a log of this happening today. If this is just something that happens and this newbie isn't realizing it, sorry for the bother.

Some creatures spawn with a variable set of skills and stats. So it's possible that you're getting some that are below the minimum threshold for your learning.

I'm not sure if these buggers do it or not, though.

Yeah, I think that's the case then. I noticed the ones that were not training weapons/tm would also just train my 2 lower armors. I just had not run into a creature like that, yet. Appreciate someone getting back to me. Super neat creature.

Many creatures have at least some variance in their level when they spawn, so it's possible you're just on the cusp or they have a slightly larger range than other creatures (I haven't looked at them personally).
