Monster

See also: Guduranis' transmigration cycle

Monsters are technically species created by the Demon King Guduranis and his subordinates, but the term can also be used to refer to species that are perceived to pose a danger to humans in general, and therefore in some cases include Vida's descendants such as Vampires and Ghouls. In this article, we will be focusing on the prior definition, and not on monsters as a colloquial term.^[?]

Monsters were designed for combat, and prefer living in devil's nests and dungeons.^[?] They were created by the Demon King Guduranis, who also created a transmigration cycle dedicated to them, and to prevent his enemies from simply halting their spawning.^[1]

Description

This article is need of cleanup

Parts of this article may be disorganized, difficult to reference, have ambiguous information, or have problems with styling or layout. If no reason has been given, it's usually because the article contains copy-pasted text that needs to be rewritten into independent prose. Please see our wiki's quality standards.

Humans are efficient sources of Experience Points, as well as sources of food. This is why monsters assertively try to harm humans. However, now that the Demon King is dead, there are many exceptions to this. With the exception of monsters with low intelligence such as Goblins, weak Rank 1-2 monsters are aware that humans are stronger than them. When humans have greater numbers or appear stronger than them, they often flee.^[?]

Humans are insufficient as a source of Experience Points for monsters above Rank 7, and the other monsters that they normally prey on taste better. Because of this, they do not willingly attack normal people. However, demi-human-type monsters attack and kidnap humans for reasons other than Experience Points and food, even if their Ranks are higher. There are also monsters that do not prey directly on humans (such as Ents). Some races of these monsters are harmless to approach, as they are almost completely uninterested in humans.^[?]

Also, the Experience Points that can be gained from killing a human is proportional to the total amount of Experience Points that human has gained, so a legendary craftsman who has experienced numerous Jobs would be desirable prey for a high-Rank monster, even though he is an average person. However, as monsters have no way of identifying such people, there are almost no cases where they are targeted and killed.^[?]

Reproduction

Monster children develop quickly, and generally stop breast-feeding a month after being born.^[2]

Temperament

Monsters accept rank increases as a joyous event, "and if that resulted in a change in form, it was nothing to regret."^[3]

Ranks

Ranks (ランク ()) is a system used to classify monsters according to how much of a threat they pose.^[?] Some monsters are Rank 0, that do not have the ability to harm humans, such as those that do not move spontaneously.^[4]
