    Games[edit]

    Monsters are commonly encountered in fantasy or role-playing games and video games as
    enemies for players to fight against. They may include aliens, legendary creatures, extra-
    dimensional entities or mutated versions of regular animals.
    Especially in role-playing games, "monster" is a catch-all term for hostile characters that are
    fought by the player. Sentient fictional races are usually not referred to as monsters. At other
    times, the term can carry a neutral connotation, such as in the Pokémon franchise, where it
    is used to refer to fictional creatures that resemble real-world animals. Characters in games
    may refer to all animals as "monsters".
