Monsters (race)

Monsters are the various non-human creatures who inhabit the country of Obscenity. Existing almost specifically to torture, abuse or hunt down the human population, monsters make up more than half of the population.

Trivia

 * The prevalence of monsters in Obscenity, combined with the cultural confusion regarding consent, led to the building of the Wall by Paraphilia. House Du Con is renowned for their track record as monster hunters, with much of Clan Masque acting as sentries to the border of Sadistique.
 * Monsters are generally banned from passing through or even entering Paraphilia, unless able to pass convincingly as humans. Past attempts at leniency invariably ended badly, due again to the cultural misunderstanding of consent and proper interactions with humans.
 * The cultural "acceptance" of "interaction" between humans and monsters, both consensual and...otherwise, often results in the birth of halflings.
 * Most of the beings are amicable to other humans, in the sense that not all of them exist to hurt people. (Of course, "hurt" is a relative term in a place with no laws.)
 * Most of the non-human population of Obscenity are monsters. The other half are demons.
