A monster is any fictional creature -- usually found in myths, legends, or most types of fiction -- that's often depicted in-universe as having an eldritch/hideous appearance, and is capable of producing physical harm through its actions or mental fear through just its looks.

Add this tag only if the creature's appearance is at least somewhat monstrous (e.g., a skull-headed demon counts but not a demon humanoid). For example, most Undertale characters and kaiju do not belong under this tag despite being called "monsters" in the game and translated name, respectively.

Related tags:

• monstrous_humanoid - Monsters who more resemble humans than anything but.
• tentacle_monster - Exactly what it says on the tin.

Not to be confused with

• monster_energy - The energy drink.
