Monter

**Monters** are a Devian species found in Devias. They are born from Monstrous and worship Therian. They are an evolved form of the Wesheya.

## Description

Monters are big, hairy, strong, and none too bright. They have long arms with tough claws and always have a number of horns jutting out of their head. They can have sharp teeth but they don’t have a particular need to eat due to being Devians.

The Monstrous Monters are very true to their name, but they can be very varied due to their element mostly affecting their appearance. They are the most varied Devians in terms of demeanor, ranging from cuddly to bloodthirsty. They are also capable of switching between the two for no reason. The size of a monter can very greatly, making them both the smallest and largest Devian species.

## Powers and Abilities

They also are the least chaotic type of Devian and do not share their sibling species' natural body-altering abilities. Most can grow out one or two body parts to larger sizes, and some Deviations can manipulate a specific type of chaotic object, like a Krampus with its bags or a Xarol with nature.

## Deviations

### Oni

Onis are large and come in either red or blue. They have cone-shaped horns and long upper teeth that curve out of their mouth. They have even more strength than a regular monster thanks to the massive clubs they use.

### Trolls

Trolls have long noses and good defense from their stony skin. They specialize in getting things from others, whether it’s money, food, or even a reaction.

### Goblins

Goblins are a smaller type of Monter. They are great at building things and even better at breaking them. They love to tinker with objects and machines and see how much stress they are willing to take.

### Boogeyman

Boogeymen are weird looking for Monters but fit in well with Hazoms! They are great at hiding, even in places without places to hide. They can jump out of the shadows and scare their opponents so well that even the toughest Devian will cry like a child.

### Yeti

Yetis have ice powers and icicles growing out of their bodies. They perform better in cold environments and noticeably worse when it's hot. They can go immobile for long periods of time, essentially frozen in their own ice, but they can wake back up when they feel like it. Every part of them is freezing cold, making hugs difficult but combat easy. They cannot cause something to freeze but they can cover things in a prison of ice.

### Xarol

Xarol are in tune with the nature of Devias. They can communicate with the natural chaotic plant life and command it to action. Skilled Xarols can even turn their bodies into a sap-like substance to become one with any living thing that is not another Devian, including both flora and fauna. They are very weak on their own and can be useless when indoors, but carrying around a piece of nature helps offset this flaw.

### Krampus

Krampuses are the paladins of a chaotic world, fighting for a justice only they can understand. They get bonuses for hurting people who do bad, according to them, and can summon weapons out of thin air to accomplish this, including chains, branches, and magic sacks. These sacks can be manipulated to allow anything inside of them, acting more like pocket chaos dimensions than bags. A Krampus' tongue is always long and lolling out of their mouth.

### Ponster

Ponsters simultaneously lack intelligence and possess a great intellect, but it's always the intellect of a young child. They have a voracious curiosity, always asking questions and speaking repetitively to make sure they are learning whatever it is they are learning correctly. Ponsters lack strength, so they instead rely on mental abilities that let them bring their opponents to the same level of curious naivete. Fighting a Ponster can be very frustrating, especially when you end up breaking into song about the importance of sharing.
