Actually, the minor NMs use the standard monster models. Boring, I know. There's several NMs in Sarutabaruta, but I don't think any of them look special--I know for a fact that Spiny Spipi looks just like any other crawler.
Ah, I remember Miura. He was a helluva lot of fun. He was a special event NM. He had massive HPs, but not much Def, so even newbies could contribute in bringing him down. His attack didn't actually hurt you. He just knocked you back--except that sometimes he also teleported you. You'd wind up in a whole different region. If you were there at the kill, you got a Dash Sash +1, as he was the HQ (Toro was the NQ, and a lot easier to find; finding a Miura was a pain. Toro dropped a Dash Sash). Waist armor, Dash Sash was +1 enmity, Dash Sash +1 was 1 DEF, +2 enmity. A nice toy for lower level tanks (Yes, I got one :-)
Ah, the last two are from Dynamis. Ever MMORPG has to have its raid end-game content. For FFXI, it's Dynamis. You fight for the highest-end equipment in a shadowy other-dimension which seems to be versions of the main cities, inhabited by beastmen.
