Monsters

Monsters are a race of former extraterrestrials with shapeshifting abilities, which are situated throughout the cities in Ring and Spiral County. and the main antagonists in Glitzing Stars. They are described as being an "endangered species" due to being killed off and hunted down by High Officials. 
== Description ==
Monsters are an endangered species originating from outer space created by their former leader known as Mother Dark Matter. They are implied to be omnivorous as their diet consists of biotic matter, with their diet primarily now consisting of humans or animals. Having come from outer space, Monsters are naturally immortal due to their complex biology and structure; however, this ability has since dwindled from their evolution living on earth, and the consumption of biotic organisms.

=== Appearance ===
All monsters (in their original state) share similar features, their bodies are dark purple to black composed of multiple tentacle-like appendages, eyes, and mouths. However, the only distinguishing feature of a Monster is its pupils, with each Monster possessing its own color and shape of an iris or pupil. Depending on its form, a Monster's eyes will stay in their original appearance no matter what.
=== Abilities ===

* Regeneration: Monsters possess a heightened regeneration factor that can heal fatal wounds in under minutes, which leaves them unable to be harmed by ordinary objects or weapons (excluding weapons i.e. Foremost).
* Consumption Empowerment: The more a monster consumes, the more abilities it can achieve through consuming organic material.
