The Monster Lord is a title that signifies ruling over the other monsters. Being the most powerful out of all monsters, none dare revolt against her. It was founded by Alipheese Fateburn the I (First), an equal to Ilias, who entrusted it to the second generation of the Fateburn family before she ascended back to heaven. The Fateburns managed to keep the title for sixteen generations, an achievement the Alipheeses attribute to hard training fueled by a need to maintain their family’s proud position in the hierarchy of monsters and eldritch history.

The concept and duty of the Monster Lord is to use “power to maintain order”. With the Monster Lord present, monsters are kept in check, with no black sheeps roaming about causing serious rebellion or harm against other monsters or races; her presence thus prevents anarchy and chaos throughout the monster world. If necessary, the Monster Lord can punish and even kill her subjects if they are found to trespass her major orders blatantly.

If the Monster Lord were to perish, the daughter of the Monster Lord would be conferred the title. However, other monsters may challenge her for the right to become the Monster Lord. This happened with Alipheese the XV (Fifteenth) who was pitted against Cassandra while Alipheese the XVI (Sixteenth) fought against Alma Elma, Tamamo, Erubetie, and Granberia.

According to a rumor, Tamamo was the tutor of the Monster Lords for five years straight, beginning from the twelfth generation.

Whether all of the Monster Lords, being part of the Fateburn family line, are lamias is yet to be known. Alipheese the VIII (Eight) has the appearance of a small human girl, but her monster form is yet to be revealed.
