Monster is a generic term for non-player entities whose primary purpose is to be killed for experience, quest objectives, or items.
Monsters differ from NPCs in that they are usually NPCs that share a common name with several others rather than having a unique name or title, are non-friendly to everyone, are non-interactive, and/or exist solely for the purpose of being killed. These are part of the main aspect of PvE, and are found throughout the game world.
Level[]
Monsters are all named with different colors which distinguish them from one another and categorize them by level.
- Red - Monsters that are strong for your current level. (monster's level is 5 or more levels higher than yours)
- Green - Monsters that are suitable for your current level. (monster's level is within 4 levels of yours)
- Blue - Monsters that are weak and easy for your current level. (monster's level 5 or more level lower than yours)
If the monster level is too far from the player's level, then the experience gained will be reduced.
- The level difference is 25 or more - 75% Experience
- The level difference is 30 or more - 50% Experience
- The level difference is 35 or more - 25% Experience
- The level difference is 40 or more - 10% Experience

Property[]
Every monster has its own elemental properties. For example, the Polar Bear uses the water property, so if you use fire property attacks against it you will deal extra damage. However, some monsters have more than one property.
Notes:
- There are three main properties: light, darkness, and the elements.
- Fire, Water, Earth, and Wind are included in the elements.
- Elements contains their own chains of strengths and weaknesses, such as fire being strong against water, but being weak against wind.
- Darkness is strong against the elements, but is weak against light.
- Light is strong against darkness, but is weak against the elements.
- Elements are strong against light, but weak against darkness.
- In other words, light is weak against fire, water, earth, and wind, but strong against darkness and darkness is strong against fire, water, earth, and wind, but weak against light.
