Monsters

Monsters

Monsters are one of the three dominant powers in Lijos alongside Humans and Animals. They are the most aloof, secretive and distrusting of all the powers, and as a result a lot of the creatures of Lijos have grown to completely resent monsters. Despite this, there are many friendly and noble monsters throughout, with several supporting characters in Ancient Wizarding World and the very protagonists of The Tree of Life being monsters. Monsters aren't as spread out as humans, typically either residing in Mount Fjall or being part of the Order of Magma or both.

## Civilization

In the past, monsters resided alongside humans and animals. However, humans eventually began seeing themselves as superior to monsters, and built their own civilizations and towns, kicking monsters out. Monsters, as a result, grew to resent humans for this. Animals did too, but unlike monsters, they did not end up revolting and starting wars. This all became even worse when the Source of Magic came into the picture, leading the monsters to go to war with the humans for control over the source. This escalated into the battle of the Demons and The Deathmaster ending as the victor.

While the monsters ended up being able to thrive throughout his reign, after Ezmio the Powerful Sorcerer defeated The Deathmaster, there was an extreme amount of anti-monster propaganda, as well as just general hate that was shared throughout humans and animals. This affected innocent monsters too, such as Ezen who wasn't even alive in the time The Deathmaster reigned.

Because of this, the monsters also resented the animals and humans. This came to the point that once the Magma Queen returned from her prison, she created the terrorist group the Order of Magma to overthrow humans and animals. However, due the corrupt nature of the Magma Queen, instead of being a group for justice, it was a group for vengeance and more war.

At some point, the mountain of Mount Fjall began to become home to many monsters, and was the dominant place for monster travel, whether not it was the dominant home of monsters as well as a regular hotel, similar to the Village of Life.

Anti-monster propaganda decreased greatly after the events of Ancient Wizarding World, while despite many humans such as the Sheriff and Policeman still had racist views on monsters and humans were still uncomfortable around them, people like Sven, Nadu and the Bringers of Life began to represent monsters a lot more, and after the fall of Nadu, the Legion of Life began representing more monsters. The racism against monsters decreased by a lot by the time of the end of The Tree of Life, and seemed to completely vanish after a monster, Ezen, saved the world.

It is unknown just how much the civilization of monsters has changed, but it is known that with the help of the new Legion of Life, justice and equality for all was imminent.

## Abilities

Monsters' abilities vary greatly; for instance, many monsters are incredibly strong, having the ability to hurt someone simply by touching them (zombies, husks, drowned) and others were able to use weapons to fight against others (skeletons, drowned, strays). Many have special abilities such as creepers to explode, endermen to teleport and to channel Void Magic and the wither to shoot skulls.

Generally speaking, monsters are the most physically powerful of the three powers, however they are the least technologically advanced, which causes them to be overall tied with humans in terms of power.

Like humans, a small amount of monsters have the ability to use magic. Apart from the Demons, the only mob known to have this ability are the endermen, who can channel Void magic, a very powerful and dangerous type of magic.

## Weaknesses

Monsters do not have as high intelligence as humans, and aren't able to evolve and adapt to change as quickly. Monsters are also fairly primitive creatures, living in caves instead of houses and working on monarchies instead of democracies. The amount of monsters in the world is also significantly less than the amount of humans or animals.
