Prologue

Monsters: a term used to describe something of repulsive appearance, immeasurable size and pure evil. A creature which is so alien to us, so dangerous and cares so little for anything other than the destruction of all things good and wholesome, that it must be stopped in order to protect the innocent from its schemes.

Tales of such beasts have existed since the dawn of mankind, creatures of half lion and eagle, massive hulking beasts that destroy all before them and those which take on the form of a man to corrupt society from behind the scenes.

But in today's modern age these beasts are seen as purely the work of writers. Fictitious characters from stories made to pose as the villain, something so different that it cannot be possible human, and thus bear the weight of all things wrong in the world.

But they are real. And like so many times in history what is different is not evil, but purely misunderstood.

Monster: a term used to describe something of repulsive appearance, huge size and pure evil. Repulsion is merely a perspective, size does not equal mindlessness and evil is a label given to many a thing to turn it into a beast: something that is not human.

But as history shows humans are capable of just as great in not greater levels of evil, injustice and hatred born of misunderstanding. Fear pushing us to protect ourselves from what is and is not a threat. And in that blind panic to protect what we love, friends become foes, enemies become necessary allies and what is good is no longer clear.

Things that should be remembered are forgotten, and what is truth is very frequently lost under a pile of lies we used to justify our actions.

That is nature of a legend, its characters and the creatures from it: and does that not make monsters but the victims of legends.
