Monsters

Monsters (魔物（まもの）, Mamono^?) are a variety of non-sentient beings from Tortus. They have a unique trait of being able to manipulate mana, without the need of any magic circle or incantation, and each one of them has a unique racial skill, ranging from ranged attacks to faster movement.

Monsters are created naturally when an animal has enough mana absorbed into their body that transforms them. As a result of this process, monsters have cores of crystallized mana in their bodies that can be of great value.

Monsters can be artificially created by someone in possession of metamorphosis magic.

Normally, monsters possess one variety of special magic, but they could have derivative skills that stemmed from that root special magic.

Regardless whether consumed raw or cooked, monster meat is extremely poisonous and lethal to any human that consumes it, as doing so would trigger rapid deconstruction-reconstruction of the body on a cellular level, the resultant trauma is beyond what a human body is able to handle on its own, unless it can rapidly regenerate and heal itself. The only known way to survive after consuming its flesh is through drinking Ambrosia, a form of potion begotten of focused mana condensate secreted from a legendary crystal known as the Divinity Stone when the individual eats the viscera of these magical fauna and drink the liquefied magical power. They turn into a human-monster hybrid as a result, attaining the skills & abilities of creatures they've consumed.

Monsters are normally non-sentient beings and the only way to gain true human level cognizance, is by drinking Ambrosia.

Sea-based monsters are more attuned to sensing sources of mana than other monsters due to using it as a way to navigate while their other senses are dulled underwater.

Human-Monster Hybrids

Human-Monster hybrids are a rare and unique species of humans who have gained a monstrous appearance and inhuman strength through mutations from consuming monsters' meat and drinking liquefied mana. The changes the experience from consuming monster meat includes their original bodies becoming muscular and taller with purple spiked bloods cells, red tattooed-like veins even both their hair turned from original to white and eyes turned to crimson red, as well as their mana turned from normal to crimson. Their strength, speed, and senses are stronger then beastmen and ordinary monsters, and their mana is even more powerful than normal mana blessed humans and demons as their strength and abilities are completely inhuman and monstrous.

It is worth noting that such hybrid is an accidental result of surviving the agonizing mutation process, which is otherwise unsurvivable as the subject undergo rapid cellular reconstruction soon after consumption of monster flesh. The resultant trauma would have been lethal without immediate intake of Ambrosia, which is mana in condensate form typically found secreted from a Divinity Stone, to allow subject recover fast enough to survive. The exact mutation process is never well understood for the critical item - Ambrosia - is legendary rare that even scholars would most likely only read of it in ancient text, lest to even realise its role in surviving the mutation process. The mutation is more than cellular level, it's right down to DNA level. Suffice to say, the subject is no longer human, even aura is more akin to monsters than that of humans.

Now with the body systems adapted to process monster meat, a hybrid can further increase one's stats from consuming monsters stronger than oneself, and gain new special magic/skill/passive buff from the monsters that one absorbs. Like monsters that use their respective magic/skill instinctively, a hybrid can also instinctively use absorbed skills and magics without chants.

To date, the only successful survivor of such a mutation is Hajime Nagumo.

Undead-Monster Hybrids

Freid Bagwa modified the undead created by Eri Nakamura with monster traits by using Metamorphosis Magic, resulting in Undead Beastmen Warriors (屍（し）獣（じゅう）兵（へい）, Shijūhei^?). They felt no fear and didn't fear death, continuing mindlessly fighting until they were destroyed. After undergoing demi-apostleification, they became Corpse Apostles (灰（はい）屍（し）徒（と）, Haishito^?).
