Monsters in Dungeons & Dragons

A pair of gnolls – hyena-headed humanoids

In Dungeons & Dragons (D&D), the word monster refers to different kinds of creatures. Some creatures come from folklore and legends. Others were created only for the game.[1] A major part of the game[2] is that monsters are problems that players must defeat to get through the game.[3] Many of the monsters have become unique even outside the game.[4]
