―Emily Bennett
**Monsters** are frightening creatures that live on Earth, often posing a danger to humankind. They are usually classified as mythical beasts attributed to the supernatural, preternatural, and metaphysical. Although this name refers to many species, they all share a similar origin story and many traits.

Monsters are descended from the Original Monsters, which are the creations/children of Typhoeus and Echidna. They are endowed with considerable strength and speed as well as several unique powers. During the Ancient Times, the monsters fought on the side of Hell but were defeated and their numbers were decimated.

## Overview

Monsters are creatures that often appear in stories. Their main role in history is to be examples of the consequences of engaging in sinful ways. They can be found in folklore from all across the world and are an almost universal part of human society, being nearly as old as humanity itself. Monsters represent the fears and anxieties humans feel and vary depending on the culture they originate from. Unlike demons, who are considered to be spiritual evils, monsters are actual physical beings that can be harmed and even killed by trained humans.

In folklore, monsters are usually the creation of evil entities or the result of a forbidden union, black magic, or a curse from divine beings.

## Description

Humans typically imagine monsters as hostile, ferocious and aggressive creatures who strike fear into the hearts of their victims. They vary in appearance but most appear in horrifying forms. They can also possess supernatural powers like magic and are capable of wrecking havoc in human society.

Monsters can be friendly and helpful beings who are misunderstood due to their frightening appearances. Some monsters appear as boisterous and loud but not malicious while others are prone to rage and hunger. Thus, they needed to be controlled and tamed and if they cannot, then they will have to be killed in order to preserve humanity.
