Disgaea: Hour of Darkness/Monster Classes

Monsters are characters that you will face on every single map of the game. Ranging from the lowliest Spirit to the mightiest Dragon, monsters are a very special addition to any team. They are very expensive when you are first trying to create them, but the more of them you defeat the cheaper they become. Monsters cannot throw other characters and prinnies explode when thrown. They do not have weapon masteries and their aptitudes are always 100-150%. Monster creation Mana costs decrease when the "# of killed" counter reaches 30 kills.

Monsters' biggest weaknesses is their lack of weaponry. Monster-type weapons only increase ATK/HIT, making the development of INT-oriented monsters such as the Spirit a chore unto itself; as the only way of increasing a Monster-type weapon's INT is VIA subdued Tutor Specialists from the Item World.

Faerie
Fairies are demons that even appear in the Human world. In the Netherworld their magic powers get dispersed, so they wear a special cape to prevent it. When they get angry, they swallow their enemy with its huge mouth. Unlike other demons, fairies have strong bonds within their species.

Spirit
Spirits are the most mysterious type of demons in the Netherworld. Demon scholars now believe that they are spirits that failed to become prinnies, and now exist in the form of wandering ghosts. They are known to be the most common type of monster, according to the last Netherworld Census.

Golem
Golems are monsters made from highly pressurized gasses of the Netherworld. Higher level golems possess extremely dense bodies and can level mountains with a single strike. However, they tend to be peaceful in nature, unlike most demons of the Netherworld. Beware their murdering temper, though.

Treant
Treants live throughout the Netherworld. Descendants of the Millennium Tree that grew its own will. They look like plants but they are carnivorous and capture their prey by paralyzing it with poison gas. They can live for a million years, but depending on the region, they can easily die.

Winged
Little is known about them, other than their natural habitat. They travel in groups but once battle begins, they'll attack anyone. Because of this, they are believed to have little bond between their kind. Thanks to their wings, they have some of the best movement in the Netherworld.

Dark Knight
Unlike ordinary demons, Dark Knights have a strong sense of chivalry and prefer a fair fight. Very few demons in the Netherworld can compete against the Dark Knights. In fact, with their sword skills, they can slay a dragon with a single slash.

Lantern
Their pumpkin head is a dead give away. It is said that they are pumpkins that turned into demons. They may look funny, but they are ruthless killers. Experts with short swords and close combat, but they are more popular for their healthy, protein-filled bodies, making them the target of hungry demonic health nuts.

Gargoyle
Unlike most demonic monsters, Gargoyles were created to be guardians by ancient wizards. Even after their master's death, they continue to protect lost treasures. Over the years, some Gargoyles have gained their own consciousness.

Shadow
Known as the Black God, they are hated by others in the Netherworld. Rumor has it, an upper class Shadow has control over the lost souls. Their magic powers are 2nd to none in the Netherworld, and they are especially good at using fire and ice magic.

Serpent
A rare, shark-type dragon. One theory says that they are a foriegn species that came from another Netherworld. They are extremely aggressive and seek their prey throughout the Netherworld. Unless you're very confident in winning, you should avoid fighting them at all cost.

Galactic Demon
Born from the eternal blackness of the galactic abyss, these demons are slow-witted and sluggish. They were first discovered in the Stellar Graveyard. They won't go out of their way to battle, but their electric powers and durability are feared throughout the Netherworld.

Dragon
The most powerful clan of monsters, dragons are known throughout Celestia and the Human World. However, a lot of research has been done on dragons for the purpose of summoning and controlling them in battle. Low ranking dragons are often summoned by angels and humans to help out in a pinch.

Undead
They are categorized as a species, but since they are monsters that have come back to life, they aren't technically a species. Because of their smell, they're generally hated, but they do have a cult following. Most undead are weak, but those of the King variety are known to be as strong as an overlord.

Nether Noble
A prestegious clan of demons. They don't fight their own battles. Instead they hire servants to fight for them. But if necessary, they have been known to finish adversaries by themselves. For all of their accumulated wealth, they are also known to be ridiculosly stingy.

Beast
Beasts have a lion's body, a monkey's face, a scorpion's tail, and bat wings. They are extremely proud about being the top of the Netherworld food chain. It is very rare to find any beast serving another demon. There's nothing they love more than the thrill of the chase.

Succubus
The Succubi are a clan of females who seduce men at night. Despite their beautiful appearance, they are very powerful. It is doubtful that can man can resist their powers. they get along well with Kit Cats, so the two species rarely get into catfights.

Kit Cat
Legends say cats that lived for a very long time demonized and became Kit Cats. They are a clan of tomboys who are skilled in martial arts. Their cat ears have gained them many fans throughout the Netherworld. Just don't try to pet them too hard.

Nosferatu
This clan is famous in both the Netherworld and the Human World as well. Be careful! These guys can move around in the daylight. In fact, because of their immense power and intelligence, they are always masterminding ways to take over the Netherworld.

Great Wyrm
These are the strongest of all dragons. There are few of them left in the Netherworld, so little is known about these monsters, other than they have impervious skin and massive claws that can rip anything to shreds. Challenging them is literally suicide.

Prinny
Handle your prinnies with care, because they explode if your throw them. Prinnies aren't technically demons. They are irresponsible, but they work for the Overlord to pay for their sins, but that is the real joke. They don't do their jobs well, so they'll be stuck in the Netherworld for a very long time.
