Monsters

This page shows a list of monsters or racial classes appearing from YGGDRASIL and the New World throughout the Overlord series.

Overview
In the Web Novel, monsters from YGGDRASIL were limited to six special abilities, but it does not even include the usage of magic involved. Most of the abilities were centered on roles for recovery, attack, defense, and support purposes. It was extremely rare for them to have any other types of abilities beside that. The only ones who were able to utilize the vast variety of magic in YGGDRASIL were none other than players. Additionally, weaker monsters like zombies and skeletons tend to spawn faster than stronger monsters.
