Monster is the term used to described supernatural beings that needs to feed of humans to survive, consuming something that belonged to them to survive. There are a lot of Monsters and they are spread through the Earth or they are trapped in Purgatory.

## History

### Absalom

The first Monsters were created by Absalom: he created the Turok-Hans and he let them through Avalon, causing them to start a war against Fairies that would really decimate their race. After this, he aided Lilith into turning Cain into the first Vampire ever existed: from him, the Vampire race would born and it became one of the most powerful Monster races to have ever existed.

### Typhon and Eve

Soon after, Eve was cursed by the Archangels of Heaven for murdering Adam and as such she mated with Typhon: together they spawned the First Born and the Elite Monsters, who would then generate the entire Monster races. Many Monsters than started to leave the world of Tartarus and they went on Earth, devouring humans and killing everything on their path.

However, some of them showed disgust toward those that were more feral than ever and as such they tried to create a human life at the best possible: from this, some of them even married and from the marriage was born the race of Wesen, Monster-Human hybrids.

### Purgatory

As the time passed however, many Monsters were locked away in a realm known as Purgatory, created to prevent the most dangerous Monsters to be unleashed on the Earth or in any other realm: Turok-Hans were burried alive in the underground, while Typhon and Eve were exiled in this realm, preventing them to ever walk in other dimensions. Purgatory also became the realm where Monsters souls went after death, however, some of them could also try to escape and reach Heaven, if they passed certain trials.

Purgatory became also the prison of Absalom, since the Angels feared he would unleash other monstrosities upon the world, but they discovered that he was impossible to kill and fight.

## Characteristics

Monsters are vicious creatures that constantly craves for satisfy their hunger, as such, being near human is very hard for them, since their animal instincts push them closer to their monstrous side. Monsters are also brutal and many times strange, struggling to keeping their instincts in check, trying to avoid becoming ruthless machines.

Those that surrender to their animal side are described as cruel, vicious and wicked, capable to become mass murders that destroy everything simply because they can. Many Monsters that chose the easy path became competely ruthless and their only care is to satysfy their primary needs, regardless of what they might cause to other beings.

However, some Monsters chose a different style of life, consuming animals instead of humans: although they are weaker than those that consume humans, they are still capable to remain as strong as ever, allowing them to survive and risking no starvation. Although these Monsters live almost a normal life, they must remain extra careful into how they balance their life: although they have a better control over themselves, they can still be affected by humans and sometimes is very hard for them to remain focus and calm near them.
