monsterrelated

Monsterrelated is a nonstandard descriptor used mainly in digital catalogs, fan wikis, and metadata systems to indicate material that concerns monsters or their interactions with people, environments, or cultures. It is not part of formal taxonomies, but serves as a practical tag for organizing content across media, genres, and scholarly fields.

The scope of monsterrelated includes fiction and non-fiction, such as novels, films, television series, video games, tabletop games, art, folklore studies, and critical essays. Works may feature monsters as protagonists, antagonists, symbols, or thematic focal points, and may cover monster creation, evolution, or cultural significance.

In practice, monsterrelated is often supplemented by more specific tags (for example, dragon, vampire, zombie, kaiju, cryptid, horror, fantasy, myth) to improve searchability. It is also used in cross-disciplinary contexts, including folklore, anthropology, and media studies, where scholars analyze how monsters reflect societal fears, ethics, and identity.

Because it is informal, the term's exact meaning can vary by platform or community. It does not imply any particular narrative stance or quality, only a relation to monsters as a central element.
