[[File:FurryVsMonstergirl.png|thumb|right|400px|Anon explains the differences between furries and monstergirls.]]
Alright, you've probably heard of the [[Furry]] fetish - for all the absolute hate it gets on /tg/, it gets mentioned around here enough. Monstergirls aren't furries - /tg/ is '''very''' adamant about this, and if there's one thing more likely to get you ballbusted than bringing up furries, it's trying to argue about the difference/lack thereof between the two. Monstergirls are where [[/tg/]] and [[/d/]] have their greatest overlap - sexy, decidedly not-human, girls who happen to be among the things everyone on /tg/ loves the most. To put it simply, were [[Rule 34]] and a [[Dungeons and Dragons]] Monster Manual to have [[/d/|hardcore ball-busting sex]], monstergirls would be the product of their sweaty lust, and both parents would look upon their children with pride.

In essence: Take a monster and add bits of female human anatomy until you have something left that's fairly sexy. Then, for good measure, add a bit of behavioral changes similar to the creature before. The most common form of this, especially from [[Weeaboo]] artists, is basically a human girl with tails, ears, inhuman limbs, spikes, [[Abyssal Merfolk|tentacles]], or whatever; they often ending up looking like cosplay creations if not handled well. Ironically, more monstrous-looking monstergirls (lizardgirls with scaled human faces, for example) are just as likely to be blasted as being "furry scum" as they are to be defended by fa/tg/uys. 'Better' yet, animal monstergirls like centaurs, minotaurs and harpies suffer the most from the constant quarreling over where the line between monstergirl and female not-quite-so-furry lies, but /tg/ is generally willing to ignore the furriness of anything an actual furry would happily call a "20% or less furry".

The Japanese like to use the term "Kemonomimi" to describe this kind of girl, which literally translates as "animal ears". Most otherwise animalistic monsters fall under this category by giving them more human features than their original versions (i.e. harpies, minotaurs, sometimes sphinxes, etc). [[Gnoll]]s and [[kobold]]s occupy an uncertain place in particular, since even most MG fans can't really picture them without a bestial-looking face... except this is totally not the case. Go to ANY furry board, especially Fchan, and you will find long arguments about how monstergirls ARE furries. And oddly, lot of furries do not want this to be so, yet others insist on it.

In /tg/'s eyes, the difference is this: There's anthropomorphic fans; people who dig humans with animal features. This is common and HARMLESS, and these people can be found in dozens of different boards. Hell, there's even [[Touhou]]s with Cat Ears.
:''"Girls with cat ears are so cute!"
This is normal, and there's nothing wrong with this.

Then there's [[Furry|furries]] who have a sexual fetish for people-shaped animals, or who want to be people-shaped animals '''AND''' dress up as animals. These people are hated but they're usually not so ba- {{BLAM|<nowiki>*BLAM*</nowiki> Showing one atom of ''sympathy'' is '''HERESY!'''}}

::{{BLAM|HERMAPHRODITE ALIEN FURRY EROTICA? {{BLAM}} {{BLAM}} Stevens? Yes, si- {{BLAM}} [[Extra Heresy|'''TRIPLE HERESY!''']]}}
As you can see from our friend the [[Commissar]], this is [[Heresy]] to be shunned.

Please, they are just a bunch of fu{{BLAM}} anyone who try to compare monstergirls with furries or otherwise using monstergirls to cover for furries, please contact the [[Inquisition]] as soon as possible.

A wide variety of monstergirls exist - a comprehensive list may be impossible, but some of the most common ones seen on /d/ and /tg/ alike are below:
{|border=0 width=100%
|- valign=top
|
* [[Merfolk]]
* [[Tanar'ri|Demon]]/[[Baatezu|Devil]] Girls
* [[Daemonette]]s
* [[Naga]]s/[[Lamia]]s/[[Marilith]]s
* [[Centaurs]]
* [[Minotaur]]s
* [[Trollbloods]] - Delicious blueberry (beef)cake.

* [[Medusa]]e - ''Keep that blindfold on tight!''

Suffice to say, there's ten shitloads. Monstergirls are one of the few things /tg/ will defend to the death - getting between a fa/tg/uy and his monstergirls will result in [[RAGE|fa/tg/uy rage]] that will give an Angry Marine pause. Note that there are other, decidedly-not-monstergirls that are seen in these threads too - elves aren't exactly Monstergirls and get fucked (over) [[Elf subraces|way too much]] - but they're still allowed, as are miscellaneous [[catgirl]]s, [[kitsune]]s, etc, in spite of the obvious [[Weeaboo]]. There's also a few more monstrous girls, such as [[Thri-Kreen]] or [[Illithid|Mindflayers]], thrown in the mix for both hilarity and [[Awesome|lulz]]. So if you happen upon some desert insect women in a Monstergirl thread? [[Thri-Kreen Erotica|Don't be afraid]] -- it's all good. [[Meme|Make a grapple check if you know what I mean]]. Btw, if you are a ca/tg/irl and are upset about the absence of monsterboys on this site, please note that you are free to just add them yourself.

==So, what's the difference between Furries and Monstergirls?==

This is a matter of some debate; we have a subsection of our [[Furry#Monstergirls_vs._Furries|Furry article dedicated to this]], but two of the main points are:
#Supercreepy (and actually, literally, DSM-5 diagnostically insane) furry fans are the problem the internet has with the fandom, to the point that even the worst monstergirl fans could manage pales in comparison.
#Monstergirls are a more "ordinary" (if porn-heavy) internet fandom, while Furrydom overlaps with being a "lifestyle", thus throwing any fucked shit associated with them into greater focus.

==What about Monsterboys?==
"Monsterboys" is a recognized term, if less famous, that serves to refer to '''male''' monsters who are given a similar "sexy revamp" to the females. Ironically, whilst monsterboys are fairly common in non-/tg/ media - the genre of "supernatural romance" is pretty much '''built''' around sexy male [[vampire]]s (and more rarely [[werewolf|werewolves]] or other mostly human monsters) seducing human women - they are generally not well liked by monstergirls fans. This is because A: most of the Anime monstergirl fans are straight men and thus couldn't care less about male versions, and B: monsterboys are often seen as a "challenge" or an "interference" to most. Whether this is immaturity of accepting there are other men competing for females or the wish to be left alone in our escapism to dream world, [[Skub|it's best not to discuss here]]. This is not to say that there aren't monsterboy artworks out there: some male consumers are bisexual or gay, and there is a small fandom of male yokai loving straight/bi women out there. But obviously, the monsterboy fandom is smaller than its monstergirl counterpart.

As a result, with monstergirls, either there is an extreme sexual dimorphism going on, where the females look like exotic but sexy humanoids and the males are ugly deformed brutes (something that [[Oglaf]] pokes fun of in one famous comic), or the monstergirls are just presented as an exclusively female race that either is totally dependent on human men to breed or has some way of breeding without humans (simply acknowledging the existence of males of a given monsterperson species without showing them naked is surprisingly rare).

The /monster/ board on [[8chan]] absolutely '''''despises''''' monsterboys, demanding that they be shunted off into their own remote splinter-board - /chaos/ - to avoid "contaminating" their precious waifus (yeah, sometimes we're almost as bad as [[furries]] here).

==Official Tabletop Games==
Despite their appeal to the fans of /tg/, monstergirls rarely get any sort of serious shake-down in actual tabletop games. Unfortunately, it's far too easy for such a setting to get derided as a [[magical realm]] (though not without reason) ,so many DMs are afraid to work homebrew settings featuring them, and official settings don't want the "overly sexualised" stigma.

In [[Dungeons & Dragons]], the closest one usually gets to any sort of monstergirl content is in the form of elves. Maybe because of their connection to [[The Lord of the Rings]], elf/human romances have a legitimacy that many other races lack. Demihumans and monstrous humanoids have, traditionally, been portrayed as very unappealing to human semblances; [[goblin]]s and [[orc]]s as wrinkled, warty, big-nosed and snaggle-toothed horrors, [[dwarf]] women as so heavy-faced and hairy that they're indistinguishable from their menfolk, she-[[gnome]]s as prematurely aged crones, [[halfling]]s as fat midgets, and so on. When they are beautiful, such as in the case of the [[succubus]] and the [[lamia]], they're usually described as pure evil, shattering men's minds for abusive sexual pleasure before sucking the life out of them or devouring their flesh. However... as time has passed on, and artists have improved, D&D artwork has slowly been sliding more towards a monstergirl-friendly interpretation. The days of hideously ugly [[demihuman]] women and irredeemably evil monstrous humanoids are dying, leaving more attractive forms and broader possibilities for racial relations than "axe to the head!" in their wake.

[[Pathfinder]], meanwhile, can't seem to make its mind up on the subject. It has a surprising array of attractive monstrous females, even a few monstergirl races; the [[Girtablilu]], a race of ruin-guarding scorpion-taurs, has a very hot female as its iconic bestiary artwork depiction, whilst the [[Thriae]] are a race of sexy bee-girls who explicitly need human men to serve as consorts for their queens and even the sterile non-queens often take human lovers. However, officially, these races tend to be given traits that make mating with them unappealing at best; the ironclad cultural standard amongst [[harpy]] flocks that they must eat the fathers of their children, [[thriae]] keeping their consorts as slaves until they're too old/weak to perform and then euthanizing & cannibalizing them, and so on. But in their adventure paths, they also sometimes throw bones at the fans of monstergirls; their 4th adventure path, "Legacy of Fire", has a non-cannibalistic [[harpy]] as a potential love interest; their 12th one, "Reign of Winter", has a polymorphed [[Winter Wolf]] female named Greta as another potential monstrous love interest; and ''Wrath of the Righteous'' has a ascending-[[succubus]] NPC whose road to redemption is explicitly easier if some kind PC is giving her some lovin'.

==Living With Monstergirl series==
Whenever a monstergirl thread starts, someone will inevitably start posting the "Living With _____" aka "My Life With _____" comics. These are one-page cute erotic stories of a man who has a monstergirl waifu. The author assures us (in an interview vignette) it's not the same guy two-timing these girls, but actually eight identical brothers who each happened to fall in love with a different monstergirl. The brothers sometimes meet one another (and their spouses) mid-comic.

The ones that have been seen/translated are:
* Living with [[Drider|Arachne]] & Living with [[Drider|Arachne]] 2
* Living with [[Merfolk|Mermaid]] & Living with [[Merfolk|Mermaid]] 2
* Living with [[Dullahan]] & Living with [[Dullahan]] 2 (Irish for "headless knight psychopomp")
* Living with [[Slime]] & Living with [[Slime]] 2
* Living with [[Harpy]] & Living with [[Harpy]] 2
* Living with [[Lamia]] & Living with [[Lamia]] 2
* Living with [[Minotaur]]
* Living with [[Centaur]] & Living with [[Centaur]] 2

For those of us who love this kind of thing, the original artist Inui Takemaru (aka Okayado, aka Crabman) has an ongoing monthly [[manga]] based loosely on this series. It's been tamed-down to ecchi for the most part -- you'll see tits at its most adult moments -- but the art style and writing is pretty much what it was back in his old stuff. Somehow it got turned into a harem manga, but that's cool and all. <s>It's not like they're going to do a story arc about the protagonist having to choose a girl.</s> As of now Lamia, Harpy, Centaur, Slime, Mermaid, Arachne, and Dullahan girls have joined the harem/happy family, but plenty others have made appearances, including [[Zombie]], [[Ogre]], [[Cyclops]] and [[Mimic]] girls in a paramilitary squad, a cowgirl, sheepgirl, and two [[wat|cotton girls]] out on a farm, a dryad, a kitsune, a scylla, a hallucinogenic mushroom girl that makes you see in JRPG-vision, and many ''many'' more.

It's going under the title '''Monster Musume no Iru Nichijou''' (''[[Life With Monstergirls|Daily Life with Monstergirls]]'') and is being scanned and translated as it's released. Not securing yourself a copy is considered treason. [[Paranoia|Treason is punishable by death.]] There are now officially translated print versions as well, for <s>purchase</s>plunder wherever <s>monstergirls</s> manga are sold. The official manga has sold so well that it [[awesome|always debuts at number 1 on the NYT best-sellers list]], and at one point was so popular it had a literary critic predicting [[wat|the return of printed porn]]. The translations are punnier in the official version, so [[weeaboo|truly invested fans]] may want to consider reading both the scanlated and official versions.

An anime for this series aired in 2015, with OVAs and sequel teasing. Buy tissues and hand lotion shares now.

As a side note, although the original one-shot comics and the ongoing print manga both use the same template ("X no Iru Nichijou" and "Monster Musume no Iru Nichijou", respectively) for their Moonspeak titles, the generally accepted English titles are "Living With Monstergirl"/"Living With X" for the originals and "Daily Life with Monstergirl(s)" for the current manga.

==The Monster Girl Encyclopedia==
This is the setting that provides a lot of the art in the gallery below, and it's one of the most well-known settings on /tg/ that isn't Monster Musume above. A guy named Kenkou Cross is writing and illustrating a [[NSFW]] encyclopedia on a world where all the monsters have been converted into hybrids between their old forms and [[Hot Chicks]]. Basically, they are all lustful and want to rape and/or marry whatever men they see (mostly the former).

The setting is quite notorious on /tg/. Although KC gets a lot of credit for being one of the oldest and most prolific "devoted to publishing monstergirls arts/setting" artists (Felarya is technically older but much, ''much'' more niche, and so less popular), he also gets a lot of flak. Why? Well, for starters, the big problem is that his setting design attracts an ''assload'' of roasting. It is scarily simple to read the many complaints listed for [[Chakat|a certain pile of festering failure]] and substitute in the demonic race and its leader from this one.

For more details, read the [[Monster Girl Encyclopedia]] page.

==Monster Girl Quest==
[[File:MGQWhy.png|thumb|250px|Being gang-raped to death by a group of sentient zombie monsters is kind of one of the tamer aspects of this game. Believe it or not, more extreme things happen.]]
For those of you who prefer your Japanese content in [[video games|a more interactive medium]], this might just be the game for you. Go on a quest, slay monsters who are also girls, before they slay you. And by slay you, we mean milked to death or raped and then '''[[vore|full-on eaten]]''' upon defeat. The game has a surprising amount of work put into the story, and some very self-aware (and debatably good) jokes that take shots at its own genre, making it a well known and well-liked game amongst a special brand of /d/eviant.

The basic plot of the game is simple; you are a wanna-be hero sworn to the goddess Illias, who has made the destruction of all monstergirls (which are the only kinds of monsters that exist in this setting) her holy dogma. However, you believe that peace between monstergirls and humanity is possible, and want to fight for this. Much, much rape of your character ensues.

In fact, the rape-happy nature of the monstergirls is literally justified by the presence of Illias and her Church: monstergirls can only reproduce with human mates, and many species in fact require human semen as nutrition. Thusly, Illias' dogma of xenophobia drives the resident monstergirls to extreme measures; as far as each monstergirl is concerned, when she meets a Hero (read: Church-backed xenophobic murderhobo) like your character, she's in a battle to the death, whilst at the same time being a starving woman presented with a banquet AND a baby-crazy MILF-to-be given a potential sperm-donor. Thus, just about every monstergirl you encounter ''will'' molest you violently to the best of their abilities, even if they won't kill you.

And best believe they'll kill you. See, unlike MGE above, the [[grimdark]] in this game's setting was 100% the author's intention, and therefore much more visible upfront.

In Monster Girl Quest, you are warned from the start that most monster-girls will casually enslave, kill or eat humans after sex, and this is ''not'' anti-xenophile propaganda like it is in the MGE. As stated above, death or devouring are the most common outcomes if you lose. Even fan-favorite character, your PC's partner Alice, will casually swallow your character whole and digest him alive if you tick her off, and many monstergirls you encounter casually reminisce about their latest prey - one of them, Red Ooze, happily kills and eats the husband of a worried harpy woman desperately asking about her mate in the village. Per typical cringy Karma Houdini JRPG Custom, the murderous monstergirl is merely wounded and retreats.

This blatant murdersex thing is widely regarded as the '''dumbest''' element in the series, and often called a genuine blight on an otherwise really well-written story (for the given value of "well-written" were operating on). It's bad enough that the monstergirls are shown to eat male opponents after triumphing in legitimate life-or-death situations, because that just proves the Church correct when they say that monstergirls are dangerous monsters that must be killed to protect humanity, but it gets even worse when monstergirls will murderrape or vore guys they ''wrongfully assumed'' were hostile... or, worse still, rape-to-death or eat '''guys who legitimately wanted to be their lovers'''. The game tries desperately to justify this, but most fans admit it does a really fucking bad job of it.

For more information, see: [[Mon Musu Quest!]]

==Felarya==
Felarya is an... odd setting. One of the older fleshed out monstergirls settings, Felarya is perhaps the most loved-yet-hated of such settings to appear on /tg/, and in fact is usually driven off of /tg/ when it shows up, in comparison to [[Mon Musu Quest!]] Why is that? Well, every so often, you see something that is created with the root of appealing to a certain fetish. And Felarya is one of those settings. Now, this is nothing new; [[Monstergirl Encyclopedia]] is basically built out of its authors obsession with femdom, corruption and [[loli]]s. But Felarya is built around a much more... controversial branch of fetish fuel.

In a nutshell: Felarya is a [[vore]] world, built around a combination of Monstergirls, [[Giant]]ess, and Soft Vore. Or, in other words, the setting is full of oversized monstergirls who think it's perfectly reasonable, when hungry, to find a smaller humanoid, swallow it whole, and then giggle as they feel it digest alive in their stomach. There's a handwave about Felarya being some dimensional dumping ground, a lost [[demiplane]] which randomly opens portals to other locales throughout the [[multiverse]] to allow creatures to stumble into its deadly environs - or, more rarely, make raids outside of it.

Oh, and the setting is ''literally'' built to support and favor the local predators, complete with not only an array of super-powered [[Mary Sue]] OCs, but canonical [[Lady of Pain]]-esque uberdeities who will show up and curbstomp any fledgling nations or super-powered individuals who try to challenge the status quo and break the cycle of humans being eaten by giant monstergirls. This is only slightly balanced out by the fact that what societies are allowed to exist theoretically have the means to fuck off of Felarya via magic portals, but given the fact that the soil makes you immortal without any negative side effects, water has strong healing properties and there being a shitton of prized substances with unique properties makes humans attracted to the dimension like bees to honey, [[Tzeentch|which may be a deliberate dimensional design doctrine all things considered]].

Oh and there is an [[Warp|afterlife]], but the Angels and Demons (also giant nude women) basically feed on positive and negative emotions respectively so the people who are neutral on the alignment chart get to be a fought over resource as both sides attempt to sway them towards good or evil not out of (im)moral motives but just so they have more food. Only upside is that ¨Heaven¨ is more symbiotic with you getting to enjoy yourself until you get bored and fade away while ˝Hell˝ is a vore fest with you as either pathetic morsel or a delicacy, depending on how evil you were.

Yeah... it's kind of a shithole of a setting. The only bright side is that this setting is a prime example of [[Meme|there always being a bigger fish]]. The predators that eat humans? They're something else's dinner too. [[Grimdark|In fact, nearly everything in this setting is some sort of dangerous huge-boobed monstergirl that eats some other sentient creature for lunch.]]

TL;DR: It's the [[Monster Girl Encyclopedia]] if you replaced the corruption with vore and giantesses.

If that description put you off, there's probably not much for you there. The giant boobs get disturbing quick if you aren't into the concept of unrelenting lethal vore.

==What, no mentioning the Bard's Adventures?==
An artist named Frederik K. T. Andersson does a lot of interesting monstergirl (and monsterboy) artwork, sometimes in the form of comics. One of his recurring characters is a highly charismatic, lecherous fool of a bard who runs around like an animal in heat, sleeping with (and usually impregnating) every monstergirl he meets, much to the rage of his (implicitly jealous) female elf teammate. Perhaps his greatest achievement(?) was siring a human/'''rock''' hybrid. Not with a golem or earth elemental. Just, a rock. Even '''he''' wasn't sure how that had worked.

Andersson used to be on a site called ''Elfwood'', but sadly that site went under in the 2010s. [https://www.deviantart.com/derangedmeowmeow So he moved to Deviantart] under the username "DerangedMeowMeow" instead.

Andersson is also famous for starting (but never finishing) "Pawn", a webcomic about a xenophiliac lesbian sorceress who ventures deep into a long-abandoned dungeon in order to use her status as an unkissed virgin to free the sexy giant demon princess bound there... by forcibly binding her into her service so she can ultimately turn her into her sextoy. Yeah, it's a little bit romantic and a little bit fucked up.

==Monster Girls on Tour==
A humor comic with a cast composed entirely of monstergirls (and monsterboys); the protagonist is a Salamander warrior. [http://kukuruyo.com/comic/0-monster-girls-on-tour-cover/ The website] also has a lot of monstergirl artwork.

==Monster Harem Feverish Absolute Passion!==
[http://mhfap.com/ Monster Harem Feverish Absolute Passion!] is a monstergirls webcomic with a slight difference. This takes place in a world where humans and monstergirls once lived side by side. And monstergirls were slaves to men, because mankind compelled their lustful obedience through the power of DICK. But one powerful she-demon grew sick of her people being slaves to humanity. So she managed to whip them into a rebellion, destroying humanity utterly and creating a paradise for monstergirl lesbians - complete with unlocking the ability for monstergirls to knock each other up through the power of love/lust-fueled yuri sex. But the craving for DICK remains locked in the souls of monstergirls everywhere, and though she does her best to scour the world of remaining remnants of the Age of Man, there is a thriving black market for man-on-monstergirl pornographic relics.

Enter our heroine, Tali ([[Bioware|not that Tali]]); a hentai-hunting [[harpy]] who desperately wants to find a girlfriend. Or a dildo. Or just some way of being able to get off reliably, because feather-fingers are a fucking pain to try and schlick with. To her amazement, she unearths a crashed stasis capsule containing our hero... who goes unnamed in a shout-out to the famous gag of the protagonist of Daily Life with Monstergirls. He is the last human - and, we later learn, an attempt by humanity to create a last-ditch saviour for their species, sexually augmented and charged with defeating the Monster Queen in order to end her magical spell that keeps human men from being born, and then begin singlehandedly impregnating the world with a new generation of men.

The art is... well, it's an acquired taste, as is the humor, but if you want a monstergirls webcomic where the guy actually '''fucks''' his harem, this'll cover you.

==Interspecies Reviewers==
Otherwise known as, "Controversy: The Anime", Interspecies Reviewers is an anime/manga series with a simple premise: A human, an elf, an angel, and a couple of other dudes go to monstergirl brothels to write reviews on how good the sex was. The series is known for its surprisingly robust worldbuilding in a sea of worlds where when the question of, "why is X like Y?" comes up, the answer is usually, "because it gets the creator(s) dick(s) hard." Obviously, as a rather lewd series, there are some spots where that is still true, but more often than not, actual thought was put into the world instead of jerking off through the entire creation process. Different races have their own views on what is considered appealing (cyclopses value the size of their mate's eyeballs over anything else), and there are topics that are expressly taboo in their society (making a simulacrum of a person, and then fucking said simulacra is [[/d/| not something you should admit in polite company.]]) For the aspiring [[/d/M]] who wants to make a more balanced monstergirl world for your players to run around in, there's hardly a better starting point to get the noggin joggin.

As for the Controversy... long story short, in a twist of fate, the anime was actually made to be even raunchier than the manga series. Whereas the manga barely gets a couple of nipple slips in, the anime goes so far as to have full-on penetration shown onscreen. Funimation bought the rights to a dub, got two episodes completed, and it took them until the third episode to realize that there was no amount of censoring they could do to make this airable. Having realized that they were dubbing what was effectively a hentai sitcom, Funimation shut it all down, with several Japanese stations following suit. The entire debacle provides an interesting insight into what happens when dubs get made in this industry. It's also just fun to imagine a bunch of business suits getting flustered over a board meeting.

==Monster Girl Doctor==

==TOUCH FLUFFY TAIL==
[http://touchfluffytail.org We have an entire website] for monstergirls purely dedicated to written and drawn art.

The spicier tales from several artists can also be found in Literotica, often on both sites.

==Oh Dear God, There's More?==
Hell yeah, there's more. Besides lurking down the rabbit hole of [[/d/]] and [[/tg/|/d/-lite]] for singular artists and old one-off doujinshi, Daily Life with Monstergirls turned monstergirls from an undercurrent to an industry trend. There's more monstergirl works out there now than ever before, all with varying levels of lewdness. If you want in on the action, go read the artist lists on the back of the ''I Heart Monster Girls'' collaboration books, or just poke around the "related books" banners on your web-based literature purveyor of choice. Literotica's NonHuman section has received quite a bit of monstergirl stories.

Masters of the Universe

'''Masters of the Universe''' refers to three things. Firstly, it refers to a universe created by action figure company Mattel to cover two related toylines; ''He-Man'' and ''She-Ra'', both of which were popularized by [[/co/|series of comics and cartoons]]. Secondly, it refers to the lesser heroes who assist He-Man in his battle against his archnemesis, Skeletor. Finally, it refers to an upcoming tabletop RPG set in said universe, officially presented in the 2020 Power-Con.

The MotU-verse is classic 80s [[Sword & Sorcery]], revolving around super-powered magical [[barbarian]]s armed with blatantly anachronistic super-tech seeking to defend their respective worlds, Eternia and Etheria, from different would-be world conquerors. They are generally regarded as stupid yet awesome by old-school fans.

Of note is the 2002 reboot, which manages to be a cartoon reboot done right. The storytelling is a bit more serious than the super goofy original, several toy-only characters promoted to speaking roles, and a few small tweaks are made to improve the overall product (He-Man is no longer just Adam in less clothing, leaving a question how nobody can tell they’re the same person, but a much buffer guy with slightly different hair), but it’s still recognizable as a successor and clearly done by people who gave a damn about the franchise. Naturally, it only lasted two seasons.

=Eternia=
The first half of the combined MotU-verse, Eternia was originally presented as a [[Sword & Sorcery]] world of the "magical [[Post-Apocalyptic]] remnants of a hyper-advanced civilization", leading to the [[Conan]]-esque tiger-riding [[barbarian]] He-Man facing off against tanks and [[cyborg]]s. The first cartoon in 1983 presented as slightly closer to a standard fantasy world, in that there were functional governments beyond tribes, but still left it with that iconic 80s S&S style mixture of magic and tech with no explanation given whatsoever. Also, it's an alien world - Prince Adam's mom is actually a human astronaut who visited the place and decided to stay and marry a local king.

Eternia is home to the legendary Castle Greyskull, a mystical fortress which is shaped so its front looks like a giant, slightly demonic skull and which houses ancient sources of magical knowledge and power that would elevate anyone who could gain control of it to basically the role of a living god. Naturally, this means the evil [[warlock]] Skeletor wants it for himself. Since the nameless sorceress who currently acts as Greyskull's glorified housekeeper suffers a curse that prevents her from using her power or even leaving Greyskull without being stuck in the form of a telepathic falcon, it relies on a guardian. That guardian is Prince Adam, who discovered the enchanted Sword of Power. By holding it into the air and speaking the magic phrase, "By the power of Greyskull", he is transformed into He-Man, who can draw upon the magical energies of Castle Greyskull to gain superhuman physical abilities. To protect his family and limit the amount of people who know about Castle Greyskull, Prince Adam treats He-Man as a secret identity, using a very Batman-esque routine of pretending to be a cowardly, klutzy fop to disguise the connection between them.

=Etheria=
After the success of the He-Man cartoon, Mattel decided to snort a bunch of cocaine and came up with the craziest idea of the 80s: what if we tried making a He-Man-style show, but aimed at girls?

The result was an animated movie "Secrets of the Sword", which introduced the planet Etheria; a magical world being invaded and all but conquered by the Horde; an army of space-faring mutants, aliens, cyborgs, robots and wizards, led by the shapeshifting cyborg sorcerer, Hordak (who was later established as Skeletor's former teacher). Hordak's right-hand woman is Adora, who over the course of the movie is revealed to be Adam's twin sister (she was kidnapped as a baby and raised by Horde Prime) and gets the Sword of Protection, a twin version of Adam's own Sword of Power that lets her become a super-powered barbarian in her own right by chanting the phrase, "For the honor of Greyskull". Having learned the truth of her origins, She-Ra (as she calls herself) turns against the Horde and becomes the champion of Etheria's resistance against the invaders.

=Legends of Grayskull=
An RPG based on the franchise, to be filled in once the game actually comes out in 2021 and /tg/ gets their hands on it. It's based on the [[Cortex Prime]] system.

There was also a "simple" MotU RPG released in 1985 by FASA, but it was basically a glorified boardgame with some RPG elements, ala [[Warhammer Quest]], so it flopped badly.

=Cartoons=
The basic idea behind Eternia and Etheria first evolved in mini-comics distributed with the action figures into the Filmation cartoons of the 80s; ''He-Man & The Masters of the Universe'' in 1983, and spin-off series ''She-Ra: Princess of Power'' in 1985. The basic concept of is outlined above. They were then followed by a couple of other cartoons as the years rolled by and Matel tried to rekindle the magic of the early 80s.

==The New Adventures of He-Man==
The first attempt to revive the Masters of the Universe cartoon universe came in 1990, with this single-season, 65 episode series. It abandoned the [[Sword & Sorcery]] aesthetic for a purely science fiction one, with the backstory being that the Galactic Guardians, the defenders of the far-off planet Primus, come to Eternia seeking aid against their enemies; the evil mutants of Denebria. The evil Commander Flogg, ruler of Denebria, follows the Guardians, and forms an alliance with Skeletor, whilst at the same time He-Man agrees to aid the Galactic Guardians in the fight against Denebria. This results in the two archenemies being taken from Eternia to the far-off star system of Primus and Denebria.

Unusually for an 80s/90s cartoon, this show actually had at least a semblance of a concluded story arc, ending with the seeming triumph of He-Man and the Guardians over the Mutant Armada and Skeletor alike.

At the time, the show was widely panned amongst MotU fans for the changes in setting, new art style and tweaked characters, even though it was supposed to be a continuation of the original 80s cartoon. Ironically, after seeing how Mattel revived the series in the post-2010s, fans are willing to concede that maybe they were a little too harsh about this show.

==He-Man & The Masters of the Universe 2002==
The second attempt at rebooting the series. Toned down the camp and the humor, turned up the action, improved the animation, and generally gave the classic He-Man show a more serious look without going full grimdark overload. If there was anything to complain on, it took the original campy [[Science Fantasy]] setting and played down the fantasy, but still retained all sort of magic bullshit. Was beloved by the fans of MotU who actually watched it, but was marketed absolutely terribly, so it got canned after only two seasons due to resulting poor ratings.

==She-Ra & The Princesses of Power==
2018 reboot of the original She-Ra. Immediately put fans on edge for its artstyle, which took the already contentious "CalArts Style" and deliberately cranked up the androgyny meter for all the cast. The actual show itself was initially not received too much better, with many decrying it as "She-Ra: The Tumblr Version". Instantly accused for being choke-full of [[SJW]] stuff, with people [[Derp|ignoring entirely]] what the original 80s cartoon was: bunch of [[Gay|half-naked, beefy men physically wrestling each other in an intense passion for domination]]. To much surprise, the series ended up holding its ground quite well despite the blunder of the first few episodes, with multiple seasons and even a movie in production, all while keeping reasonably high ratings. Guess to never judge a book by its cover. That and the fact bitching about a kids show aimed for little girls in the first place is bound to make anyone participating in it look fucking [[Lorgar|''pathetic'']].

==Masters of the Universe: Revelation==
2021 series advertising itself as a continuation of either the original '83 He-Man or the '02 He-Man. Fans were initially cautiously optimistic when they saw it was going to be done in gloriously well-defined animation all the 2002 He-Man instead of in the CalArts Style like She-Ra or [[Thundercats]] Roar. But alarm bells started ringing when character design was presented, including Teela looking ''literally'' like a guy if you remove the makeup. The alarmists sadly turned out to be right when the show aired and it immediately turned into an [[SJW]] dumpsterfire, with He-Man getting killed off in the first episode, the iconic Masters of the Universe team being disbanded and instead being replaced by Teela, Evil-Lyn and Andra (a black engineer woman ported over from the old Marvel He-Man comics), with Beast-Man and Orko as sidekicks, and Teela turning into a self-centered unlikable bitch.

Fans are split... on whether this series is ''as'' bad as what happened to [[Star Wars]] and [[Star Trek]], or if it's ''worse''.

==He-Man & The Masters of the Universe 2021==

Another remake, except in cgi, that takes a more sci-fi edge. And while there is a lot of difference to the original it is, ironically, more faithful to their original. With great characters and plot.
