Monster



A monster is a type of class featured in the Disgaea series. In games preceding Disgaea 6: Defiance of Destiny, monsters can only wield Monster weapons, and prior to Disgaea 5: Alliance of Vengeance, are unable to gain Weapon Mastery. In Disgaea 6, there are no monster weapons; they instead wield humanoid weapons such as the Sword. There are various monster classes, the most famous being the Prinny race.

Monsters have at least four unique techniques that they learn as they increase in level. These techniques are unique to their monster class and can't be learned by other monster classes or humanoid classes. Double Magichange, an ability that lets monsters turn into weapons that can be used by humanoids, may allow usage of these skills by humanoids, and regular Magichange allows humanoids to use about two unique Magichange specific skills.

Almost all monsters in Disgaea: Hour of Darkness have 100% aptitude in the eight basic stats, which is not shared by the humanoid classes who have varying apitudes in stats, while in Disgaea 2: Cursed Memories and later games they have varying apitudes as the human classes do.

Monsters vary in appearance more drastically than humanoids, from the humanoid Succubus and Felynn, to the blob like Aqua Demon and Slime, to the animal like Winged Warrior and Bear, to the draconian Dragon and Serpent, and the plant like Wood Golem and Flora Beast. Some look like they use weapons like axes in combat, but in actual gameplay all monster classes only equip monster weapons with no exceptions.
