Monsters
Talk1this wiki
Monsters are offshoots of gods or cursed beings that would terrorize, fight, and often kill demigods and heroes. Monsters are "archetypes," born from the Chaos and Barbarism that always exist in the Western Civilization. This means that they are purely spiritual entities and will merely reform in Tartarus and come back whenever they are destroyed. One example is when Percy kills the Minotaur on his first day as a half-blood. Four years later, he sees the Minotaur again in Kronos' army. This proves to be an ordeal for heroes, for after a monster is killed it can reappear and attack again, in any time period between weeks and hundreds of years. However, not every monster when killed goes to Tartarus. In the case of satyrs, when killed they will be reincarnated as something else in nature, like a plant of some kind.
Monsters often serve as minions of evil and cause trouble for Olympus. Normally, since they can't hurt the gods directly, they go after their demigod children instead. However, some monsters such as some Cerberus, Pegasus, and the Furies serve Olympus. There are other monsters like the Cyclopes, dragons, harpies that work for Olympus or run wild on their own. When some monsters are killed, they leave a trophy behind (called a Spoil of War) in the form of parts of its body, it's clothing, or some kind of armament.
