''Others have a monstrous heritage or invoke monstrous powers; I AM a monster!''

You are a type of [[Creatures_(Action)|creature]] other than [[Folk_(Action)|Folk]]. You are defined by your affinity to the world rather than to other people. Your powers are as natural as the avalanche or the thunder, and just as mighty. 

You must choose a type of [[Creatures_(Action)|creature]] other than [[Folk_(Action)|Folk]] when you play a monster. In most cases, this makes you vulnerable to powers directed at your creature type, such as summoning and binding powers. As a monster you have less affinity for [[Folk_(Action)|Folk]] and often find their manners strange. You are not accustomed to all the talk anc compromised involved in being [[Folk_(Action)|Folk]].

Monsters are advanced characters. Your GM will most likely want to supervise you closely. In general, it is best to pick a monster from mythology and build a variant of that for your character.

= Powers =
Monsters have powers defined by myth and by their association to the [[Forms_and_Techniques_(Action_Powers)#Forms|Forms]] of power. All Monsters must know the [[Forms_and_Techniques_(Action_Powers)#Forms|Form]] associated with their type of [[Creatures_(Action)|creature]]. Most of their powers generally come from this form. 

= Origin =
[[Gifts_Origin_(Action)|Gifts]]. As a monster, you are the epitome of inherent power, an force of nature and power incarnate.
