They will usually become a Hive Queen or have great Psychic Powers over the lesser monsters, especially ones they create. Their children/ infectees will likely be stronger than other mooks, have an easier time becoming a Monster Lord, or naturally be born one. Both types are likely to repel what lesser monsters are weak to. And even in settings where the Bishounen Line is in effect, if there's a rung above Monster Lord, it'll probably be a One-Winged Angel and make them monstrous again.
Of course, in some works the Monster Lord looks more monstrous than their brethren. Likewise, while their lesser kin may only be about as smart as an animal, the Monster Lord will typically have human-level or higher intelligence and be capable of speaking and understanding human speech ( though not human morals). Even though not human, they will look human-like because the process of climbing the Evolutionary Levels ladder raised them higher up on the Bishounen Line. Likely to be the Big Bad, or at least a major villain, though this may not necessarily be the case.įrequently, the Monster Lord will be The Man Behind the Monsters. Other monster races may have a life cycle where old or "mature" mooks become lords if they grow really powerful, use a magic ritual, or they have a really strong willpower. Maybe the species as a whole has a Fantastic Caste System, and over time the leaders have become a different " race" that is more powerful by nature. Beyond that though, some Monster Lords are physiologically different from rank and file Mooks. And rarely, lowborn monsters (frequently former humans) can aspire to earn such titles with "heroic" deeds, political savvy, or by dint of Asskicking Leads to Leadership. Some monster or non-human species have aristocracies with Blue Bloods that just so happen to actually have blue blood.
