An index of fictional works featuring monsters, whether as the antagonists or protagonists of the story.
This particular index covers miscellaneous or multiple types of monsters which don't easily fit into other media indexes (see the Categories folder below). Any series which frequently use Monster of the Week plots also count here, if a wide variety of different monsters appear. Series about collecting and/or raising monsters fall under Mons Series.
