Monsters & Undead

Monsters, also called Beasts, are hostile creatures and enemies that cannot be considered mortal, God or Titan. Monsters appeared in the God of War series and are not confined to just one species. Some well-known monsters include the Minotaur, the ChimeraMedusa the Gorgon, Trolls, and Ogres. Several from Greek and Norse Mythology along with other mythologies has also appeared throughout the entire series.

Mythology[]

Monsters are creatures that appear in horror, fantasy, mythology, folklore, science fiction, and religion. They are usually depicted as hostile, ferocious and aggressive with strange or grotesque appearances which strikes terror and fear in their victims. Monsters commonly resemble animals that are bizarre, deformed and/or mutated in appearance and their varying sizes, but they may also take on different forms, such as humans, mutants, ghosts, spirits, zombies, or even cannibals.

Aside from taking on alternate forms, monsters can even possess supernatural powers or magic abilities, though they are often capable of killing and even cause some form of destruction, which threatens the social or moral order of the human world in the process. Animal monsters are outside of the moral order but they sometimes have their origin in some human violation of the moral law. Human monsters are creatures that are never fully human by birth, or who, through some supernatural or unnatural act, had lost their humanity, and thus can no longer/never would follow the moral order of human society.

Aside from being described as monstrous and aggressive, monsters may be depicted as friendly and misunderstood creatures who unintentionally frighten individuals, and their appearance may be so large, strong, and clumsy may cause accidental damage or death. In fiction, some monsters are depicted as mischievous and boisterous but not necessarily threatening, while others may be prone to fits of rage or hunger. Thus, they are needed to be tamed and taught to resist savage urges or be killed if they cannot successfully be or are uncontrollable. ' '
