The Broo are the most common of the Chaotic monstrous races from the world of [[Glorantha]].

==Lore==
(Note that much of Glorantha lore is meant to be biased and bent towards the in-universe writer of that particular part of the storyline, so all lore must be taken with a grain of salt as it possibly contains fabrications and mistruths, or some conflicts with other works. Mythology of the world of Glorantha is also intended to represent the advancement of the world, with the gods and heroes of prehistory advancing from intelligent animals to prehuman level intelligence to outright civilization, and developing things like writing or concepts of justice as the peoples of the world do.)
===Myth Origins===
Broo are the mortal children of the goddess [[Thed]], and were originally another race in the world just like any other. Thed was a somewhat powerful goddess that created and ruled them. The recent events of that time were that the God of Justice and resident Odin/Zeus-expy [[Orlanth]] had killed the God-Emperor (not [[Emperor of Mankind|that one]]) Yelm and taken control of the pantheon in order to save creation. Orlanth was new to the whole "justice" thing though, this being a very primitive age of the world before codified written law resulting in Orlanth basically inventing the idea as he went, so when Thed came to him and claimed to have been raped, Orlanth simply allowed her to name her assailant and choose whatever punishment she felt was justice. She named Orlanth's own insane brother [[Ragnaglar]] (who had been thrown into something known as the "Sex Pit" during the revolution against Yelm, which had shattered his mind). Orlanth likely would have just dismissed the case had he known his brother was the guilty party before giving his word. Depending on the version of this story Ragnaglar was already her husband and father of the Broo before he committed marital rape against her, or was just referred to thereafter as her "husband" due to the crime and primitive societal ideas with the Broo as the product of the event; either way his rape was brutal and inflicted stabbing wounds on her that never healed which were her evidence of the crime, and the Broo were born into the world originally uncorrupted before the violence against Thed damaged their nature.

Thed chose to become the Goddess of Rape as punishment for the accused and transformed the Broo into a race of rapists to inflict her suffering on the rest of the world, forcing all of creation to confront the hidden shame and openly admit "rape is bad" (remember that this is prehistory, when the monolith is still inspiring monkeys to use tools, of course in that time rape was already considered bad and always has been soooo...). This is due to the concept of Justice in the world at the time being a personal affair between victim, criminal, and monarch which was based entirely on revenge rather than making an example to society of the ramifications of criminal behavior coupled with Thed blaming society as a whole rather than just Ragnaglar. Thed's choice as a result begins the concept of justice being something involving a community rather than just an eye for an eye as well as forcing the concept of justice being to ''prevent'' wrongdoing rather than just to make both parties suffer equally.

Ragnaglar continued his descent into madness independent of Thed's new Portfolio, and corrupted the very idea of sex which had previously only been a beautiful thing for the creation of offspring (note that despite this, rape still existed as Ragnaglar's was not treated as the first). Basically inventing the idea of [[/d/|fetishism]], he had sex with anything he could stick his penis inside from animal to unliving (and dead) things all of which somehow produced offspring; this trait was passed onto the Broo, who now had an '''extreme''' of lust and could impregnate everything from men to rocks and dirt.

Thed's own descent into madness took a more controlled route; she formed a triumvirate of evil with Ragnaglar and the Fertility Goddess [[Mallia]] (depending on storyteller they either corrupted Mallia willingly or kidnapped and raped/tortured her until she went mad; either way she became the Grim Reaper of the setting, her fertility coming to represent disease and old age as well as all gross and unfortunate deaths). The three insane gods planned to take control of the pantheon and rule the world their own way, and had a three-way which caused Thed to give birth to the literal fucking Devil named [[Wakboth]] (who corrupted her from within, turning her legitimately evil rather than Chaotic Neutral) which either created Chaos or gave it an incarnation (once again depending on storyteller). The four divines became the first completely evil beings in the setting. Wakboth killed Ragnaglar so that he would never have siblings to rival him, and coerced/raped his mother to produce servants to lead the Broo legions as he destroys the world.

It should be noted that Wakboth is described as existing prior to this in some accounts, and its suggested that in-universe there was a saying that "Rape is his mother, Madness is his father, Disease was his midwife" and that the expression became literal and applied to gods as it was handed down orally over generations (remember that Glorantha lore is from an in-universe perspective, and after many hundreds of generations the oral mythology warps and merges with other myths). Wakboth is also called Kajabor, although some lore treats the two as different entities with Wakboth killing Kabajor after he devoured forgotten gods.
[[File:Glorantha Trinity.jpg|thumb|center|400px|Thed (top), Ragnaglar (right), and Mallia (left).]]
After the great war between the beings of good and evil, Wakboth was defeated but not before he raped Glorantha itself (AKA Earth). He was killed, sent to hell, and was reborn as Time when the gods decided to stop being crazy assholes and live by a set of rules; Time himself keeps the gods from the mortals, and provides them immortality as long as they don't interfere directly in Glorantha.

Thed was skinned alive (but not killed) by Kyger Litor, the goddess that brought order and rules to the forces of evil, and was then later defeated by Polestar, god of the sky and astronomy as well as some magic, which shattered her. Currently Thed exists all over the world as she was spread to its corners and is kept alive solely by the worship of the Broo. Although still their fucking insane rape goddess, she isn't involved in any evil actions anymore and some lore suggests she has come to represent fertility and some aspects of civilization as most of the various deities of the world become less a bunch of godlike savages and more a group of cultured divine beings.

===The Present===
Broo today are a race of beast-people, marked by the features of various animals (most iconically goats, which they originally resembled in their pre-corrupt state) but also invariably further warped with diseases and Chaos-born mutations, which just adds to their general hideousness. They worship all of their divine parentage (Mallia for the most diseased, Ragnaglar for the most depraved, Wakboth for the most aggressive, and all regardless of other things hold Thed as their beloved god-mother (not godmother)).

Their most infamous power is that they have the ability to "rape anything". No, seriously. As children of Thed, Goddess of Rape, and Ragnaglar, God of Madness and Perversion, Broo have the power to impregnate anything they choose to stick their dick into; the reason they look like many animals instead of just Satyrs is because they usually fuck animals and the resultant Broo-spawn usually more resemble their "mother" and gaining some traits from the father. We don't know if the progenitors need to be female, but since there are accounts of Broo raping and impregnating '''rocks''' ''and'' '''trees''', they can probably knock up male victims too. Some lore depicts Broo bursting from livestock like Xenomorph Chestbursters, but some lore relies on the mother surviving; it may be case by case or depending on what kind of Broo the father is, or simply another example of in-universe conflicts between sources of lore.

Goats are the "traditional" animals for Broo, but any sort of animal will suffice; sheep, cattle and pig-based Broo are the norm in Dragon Pass, for example. Predators are rarely targeted because they're more likely to kill the Broo as he tries to stick his dick in them.
Thed's own Portfolio means Broo don't just rape literally, they rape metaphorically; they rape music with their horrible caterwauling and cacophony of "instruments", rape reason with their insanity, and so on and so forth; in this way all beings and spirits are forced to confront the misery inflicted on her so long ago.

Whether or not there are female Broo seems to depend partially on the sourcebook. Some assert that the Broo are all-male, as that furthers their need to be "children of rape". Others claim that there are female broo, though they tend to favor the Chaos Goddess Malia over Thed, because the latter hates them, and are rare (15% of the population, according to one claim). If there are female Broo, whether or not [[dickgirl|they can get in on the raping]] is unknown; fans have speculated that, due to the chaotic nature of the Broo and their spiritual connection to rape, female Broo may either instinctively know the spell that lets a birthing mother "share the pain" with the child's father and/or be able to directly impregnate the father himself, which would certainly explain why they're particularly ill-favored by the male Broo.

If these guys remind you of a particularly [[Slaanesh]]i flavor of [[Beastmen]], there's a reason for that; [[Games Workshop]] created the Beastmen for [[Warhammer Fantasy]] to capitalize on the line of Broo models they had originally produced for [[RuneQuest]], before that contract went tits-up. Ironically, the Beastmen are ''toned down'' in comparison to the Broo.

Unlike Beastmen however, Broo are not Always Chaotic Evil. Broo are fully capable of being of the good alignments, they just usually aren't because who the fuck in an ancient world would raise the half-animal monster caused by being raped by a similar unthinking drooling murdermachine. [[Minotaur|That's the kind of shit that you throw in a cave or build a place to lock the creepy little thing in]], assuming you don't just bash its brains out with a club since it was born from your raped wife/mother/daughter/sister/pet dog/brother/tree in the front yard/self. As a cruel Aesop courtesy of Thed that very few beings learn from, rape victims that don't get proper support from society results in more rapists years later. Those that are abandoned are taken in by a Broo clan/horde which will add that hidden shame to their world-destroying mass of throbbing cocks (take that as an animal pun or not). In this way a few Broo can move into an area and increase their numbers by raping trees and deer until eventually they begin forcing themselves on villagers that keep the shame secret and abandon the newborn Broo to die of exposure, which are rescued by the clan which continues growing in number until its too late and they have a horde that destroys the city/civilization until there's nothing left to rape and they disperse in all directions to repeat the cycle elsewhere. Or, y'know, murderhobos come in and kill them all.

BUT: on the off-chance the mother doesn't abandon her horrible offspring, and the community treats it with love and kindness like any other child, Broo become no different than any other being. In fact a well-known Glorantha character called the Wild Healer of the Rockwood Mountains is a kindly old Broo who fulfills the role of Dumbledore/Gandalf/Professor X etc. by acting as a mentor and father-figure to adventurers. Another Broo, Ralzakark, is a Unicorn-headed emperor of the Broo who is a mix of both good and evil who has an organized society far beyond that of most of the rest of the world, as well as a demigod daughter that represents the nature of freedom itself, but Ralzakark is also is vicious in war and has more than a little bit in common with the main character of American Psycho. There are enough non-evil Broo in the Lunar Empire that their army has an entire Broo regiment.

The easiest way for a Broo to become non-evil is Illumination, a process by which an intelligent being realizes that part of what they thought to be reality is fiction (similar to CHIM in [[The Elder Scrolls]]) which frees them from the constraints of morality (not to the degree of "Chaotic Stupid" where you can do anything you want, merely that the idea of Cosmos VS Chaos becomes less Good VS Evil and more from a Taoist approach), any of the rules or reprisal of divine beings, and can manipulate magic that is otherwise impossible, allowing them absolute freedom. Since Illumination is heresy outside the Lunar Empire, it is mostly exclusive to Lunar Empire Broo.

Evil Broo live in two states. Feral Broo behave extremely primitive, alone or in small groups and simply increase their numbers by raping things. Wild Broo are Broo that live in tribes with leadership and shamans, and tend to be more likely to raid and take over territory from mankind.

{{Monstergirls}}
The '''Monster Girl Encyclopedia''' is a [[NSFW]] encylopedia fleshing out a setting of [[monstergirls]] written and impressively illustrated by Japanese hentai creator Kenkou Cross. The artwork is great (if somewhat contentious in content). Some of the premises are as interesting as they are [[/d/|"enjoyable"]].

So what's the problem?

Well, while everyone more or less likes the entries themselves, the setting around them is pure [[skub]], built on a mixture of fetishized [[rape]] and [[loli|othe such sketchiness]], along with the sort of unintentional [[grimdark]] only a [[/d/M]] [[Magical Realm|building a world entirely for his penis to the exclusion of all other cocks]] could create. That didn't stop it from getting an English-translated hardcover first volume printed thanks to [[Life With Monstergirls]]. Time will tell if that was a mistake or not.

The first encyclopedia is written from the perspective of a human, a nameless Wandering Scholar. The second one is written by Saphirette Spherica, a formerly human monster girl. Whether or not this change in author actually results in a change in editorial viewpoint is... debatable. Kenkou Cross has tried to claim that the first paints the monsters in a harsher light due to faulty information, and the second in a more favorable light thanks to being written by one, but considering the first volume has nary a good thing to say about the monsters' enemies, stops just shy of all-but urging the reader to go fuck a monster right now, and is actually revealed to be cursed by a succubus at the end, well... doesn't really hold water upon any kind of inspection. Not to mention the idea that the monstergirl would not be biased in her writing is inherently stupid.

But, we're getting ahead of ourselves...

==The Setting==
A brief summary is pretty simple. A Succubus has become Monster Lord, god-like ruler of all monsters. Taking the throne for herself, the Succubus has enacted a plan to bring about her vision of peace upon the world: transforming all monsters into lusty monstergirls, known in universe as mamono, and setting them out to score themselves human husbands. Peace through mutually-ensured copulation, you might say. She even convinces the Hero who is sent to slay her to join her in her rebellion against the Chief God and become her husband.

==The Factions==
===Monster Lord===
The aforementioned Big Chief Succubus, her human husband, their daughters, and pretty much every freaking mamono in the world. Want to bring about peace between humans and monsters by making human man/monstergirl relationships the norm of the world. To be fair, though, the vast majority of "normal" mamono don't really have a lot of ideological indoctrination so much as help her goals by trying to find someone to slip 'em the d - the Monster Lord basically leeches off of their "mamono mana", which increases when they fuck, to boost her own strength.

Thanks to [[Mary Sue|blatant creator favoritism]], the Monster Lord has so many ludicrously-overblown advantages piled up on her side it's honestly more incredible she hasn't instantly won the conflict seconds after starting it. And the fact that her ideal world would look like ''Brave New World'' as run by a particularly sick combination of [[Nurgle]] and [[Slaanesh]] is something of a turn-off for a lot of readers. Seriously, go read [[Chakat|this page]], mentally find and replace all the furry stuff with this-setting stuff, and see how accurate all the descriptions still are.

Part of her eventual endgame involves causing monsters to have male incubus children, in addition to their own female offspring. Again, most monsters have no interest in actively conquering human lands so complete assimilation of humans into the "new humanity consisting of incubi and monster girls" will, probably, take a while. It's been a few centuries now and things are still in a relative stalemate, though every once in a while something dramatic happens, especially since lately one of her daughters, Derulla, has taken it upon herself to probe the human kingdoms for weak links, and has already destroyed the nation of Lescatier by exploiting its internal flaws and transforming its various heroines into ravenous and evangelical monster girls by exploiting their neuroses.

====Sabbath====
A sub-faction under the Monster Lord's banner, led by baphomet mamono and primarily staffed by cults of witches, many of whom joined for "eternal youth" without reading the side effects too closely. This group is comprised entirely of [[loli]] mamono and is dedicated to spreading lolidom (in both senses of the word) over the world. Or, in other words, they want to convert women into loli mamono, convert non-loli mamono into loli form, and convert human men into "Big Brothers" (lolicons). They're the monster's primary source of R&D for various weird and sexy inventions. While each branch of the Sabbath is run by a baphomet, the organization as a whole is led by the strongest baphomet of all. This same baphomet also leads the Mamono Lord's army and holds considerable influence in the world of monsters. Surprisingly, she is noted to still be single, perhaps because baphomet normally only marry men who can beat them in battle, but more-probably so the lolicons in the audience can still hold onto hope of tappin' dat semi-jailbait ass.

====Zipangu====
The not!Japan of the setting, not technically loyal to the Monster Lord but still held up as the shining example of what she wants to achieve, with humans and monstergirls living together relatively peacefully, though often with monsters dominating humanity in the bargain. Would be [[Mary Sue]] if they had a bigger role in the world instead of being in the ass end of nowhere, but what do you expect when the creator is Japanese? Often a source of various "[[weeaboo|Eastern]]" versions of already-released mamono. Whether this is a bad thing really depends on your perspective, as well as the degree to which they successfully differentiate themselves from their predecessors.

Supposedly has clans of exorcists who fight monsters with about the same success as the Order, but are tolerated since some vicious monsters really do need clearing out.

====The Land of Mists====
Like Zipangu, only not!Chinese instead of not!Japanese.

===Pandemonium===
A faction operating out of a timeless demiplane. Allied to a high tier god called "the Fallen God", they're basically extremists on the Monster Lord's plan who seek to convert men and women to go to a dimension (Pandemonium) that consists essentially of one eternal, never-ending orgy. KC only made three profiles for this faction - the Dark Angel, Dark Valkyries and the Dark Priest - and often doesn't touch it for ages between profiles, probably because they tended to be the biggest fuel for the "anti-mamono interpretation" of the setting in the early days due to the rather limited lifestyle they subject their converts to. Hilariously, compared to the Monster Lord, they're practically vanilla: since none of them seem to go in for rape when "conversion" is much more fun. Moreover, since they have their own dimension, they aren't all that interested in altering the rest of the world, instead seeking converts to leave with them for Pandemonium.

Of course, the featured Fallen God-aligned maiden in Lescatier went and raped a couple little girl orphans she'd been caring for immediately after converting to its worship (with some prodding by Derulla), then pimped out all the other orphan children to random perverts in the street, so maybe not ''as'' vanilla as many would like...

===The Gods===
The original masters of the world, led by a Chief God, who was gravely injured by the Monster Lord and her husband while trying to kill them both to stop their plans. Currently split between those who support the Monster Lord's plan and those who support the Chief God in trying to slay the Monster Lord and return things to the original cycle. Mentioned goddesses in the first faction include Poseidon, Eros, Ares, and Dionysus. Hilariously, [[Derp|the english translations refer to every single god thus far as a goddess, and most of them are named after a deity that was originally male,]] though the Japanese text refers to them using gender neutral pronouns which is slightly less odd.

In all honesty, many fans find the Chief God (who isn't the ''original'' Chief God) far more sympathetic than the Monster Lord. Yes, she wants to bring back the old cycle, which is bad, but otherwise she doesn't really work as a villain and is written too sympathetically to be truly hateable. KC has admitted that she was a rookie, and she ''knows'' this and that she's over her head. She's still hurt from a thwarted attempt at smiting the current Monster Lord and her husband, and she has no idea what she's doing, but she's trying to do a good job and set things "right" as far as she understands it, because that's what's expected of her. She's so ineffectual as an antagonist, especially with how stacked things are in the Monster Lord's favor, that many fans want to comfort her rather than see her lose. Not to mention the fact fans are keenly aware that the monster girls are slowly breeding humanity out of existence. On top of that, entries mentioning incubae often say “for the rest of their days” which implies they’re not immortal meaning if the Demon Lord wins, everyone dies. Either way, human civilization, progress, and the very species would all cease to exist. Common sense would say “let the men have human lovers/wives of both human and monster” unfortunately, the monster girls are often outright impossible for men to resist and human women don't stay so when there's a monstergirl around.

To try and counter this, KC has put out that it's officially fact that the Chief God will accept nothing less than the restoration of the old cycle, and doing so will result in countless grisly deaths as every former-mamono reverts to a man-eating monster and devours her spouse. Unfortunately, rather than instantly silence his critics, it has only made the setting look like a [[Grimdark|"you're fucked either way"]] sort of deal. (Pun semi-intended.). But at least restoring the natural cycle would allow humans and monsters both to continue existing at all.

====The Order====
The chief religion of the setting and a fairly standard [[weeaboo]] take on Medieval semi-Christianity. Dedicated to the Chief God first and foremost, their duty is to ensure humanity lives safe, moral lives. To this end, they train divinely-empowered Heroes to go out and fight monsters. It's kind of unclear as to whether they don't know that the new Monster Lord wants to end the cycle, if they even know there ''is'' a cycle, or if they know everything and are deliberately lying to general people so they still believe that all mamono want to kill and eat them. The Wandering Scholar is worried he'll be killed if they catch him, and the original Encyclopedia had a warning about people being punished for being caught with it, but, well... remember how it ends with a call to arms for everyone to go out and become or fuck a monster, then with a ''second'' reveal that it's actually a cursed book that's either turned you into a succubus or sent you off to stick your dick in the nearest one?

A lot of fans like to portray them as essentially a fantasy take on the [[Imperium of Man]], but, really, that particular interpretation doesn't hold much water. If nothing else they aren't racist, having been on excellent terms with a number of non-human races before current events left humankind alone. Shit, settings material outright states that monsters are always ''happy'' when the Order comes crusadin', because it means they're about to enjoy the fantasy equivalent of a massive speed dating party. Due to the very nature of their teachings, the Order's men are such good people that most of them can't bring themselves to actually hurt a mamono when they meet one. Consequently, mamono consider Order men damn fine husbando material, and are eager to capture and "convert" them when they show up.

There are Order soldiers and heroes who will kill monsters readily of course, but given monsters will still fight and even kill to defend themselves it's dangerous work. Fortunately (or unfortunately, depending on one's perspective), the goddess of war protects both side of the war, and getting killed in battle is rare, so lots of beaten knights just end up getting convinced "the hard way" after a fight.

==(Unintentional) Grimdarkness==
The original Chief God created humans, but for an unknown reason was worried about their numbers like the retard it is. So it created monsters to slaughter humans in sufficient numbers to cull them before eventually creating the program of the Heroes and the Monster Lord: the Heroes get empowered when humans are too weak to disrupt the monsters' attack by killing their demigod leader, the Monster Lord, throwing monsterkind into disarray so that humanity has time to recover, and then eventually a new Monster Lord rises up and starts the same shit over again. Said Chief God also forced the other gods to get in on this - Poseidon supports the new Monster Lord because she's sick of having to kill people with tidal waves, storms, and sea monster attacks.

So there we start: murder and violence is a must because...well...the creator can't be bothered to invent diseases or make a better species, literally turns the world into a medieval battlefield and forces genocidal hate onto other species.

Think the new Monster Lord is any better? Only if you don't mind the fact that she's bungling her job, and so mamono have swapped "kill and eat humans" for "kidnap and rape" humans...It would be a relatively tolerable subjugation were it not the fact her stated goal is to drive human women ''extinct'' so human men '''would have to''' marry monstergirls, and so she is actively seeking to convert (physically and mentally transform) all women into mamono. Also, her idea of utopia is a [[/d/| lawless wasteland]] where [[Chris-Chan|free love is rampant, dissent is impossible, everyone agrees with her about everything all the time, and also, children regularly fuck their parents]]. (No, seriously, there's an entire species of mamono that are literally fetuses that ''abort'' themselves because they can't stand waiting to be born before having sex, on top of the [[loli| usual nonsense]].) And anyone who becomes a monster or an incubus basically loses the ability to disagree with her, one way or another. And we all can agree that mind rape is worse than murder in many ways, like a family mother that disappeared in a monster raid and now is back as a forcefully converted sex hungry monster that rapes probably even her own kids. Lets not forget those incubae are made by shoving so much demonic energy, slowly or quickly, into them their minds basically turn demonic and their bodies twist to follow.

[[Edgy|Jesus...]]

Also, a lot of the time when KC writes profiles he focuses ''so goddamn much'' on the aspect of how the men that monsters catch react sexually and how women caught by monsters end up going "Oh noes, how embarrassing, everyone can see my sexual repression!" that he forgets to ''actually write the profile'', causing several monsters to come across as significantly more horrible than he intended. Though this is still absolutely a rod this idiot has made for his own back, and he deserves your scorn rather than your pity for it. (Significant mentions include the matango, which as written was in everyone's "least favorite" category for years, thanks to, in a reference to a classic Japanese horror picture, seeming more like a plague of mindless fuckmushrooms than a fun monster, the mind flayer, where he got so wrapped up in masturbating over how the mind flayer can make a woman slutty that he forgot to clarify basic facts like a man's ability to go back and forth between squid-monster form and human form and that women don't ''actually'' turn into lobotomized corpses after being fed on, and the atlach-nacha, which, in addition to being a [[DFC|loli]], and therefore [[heresy]], also fails to clarify that the human being they turn into their spider body can turn back in favor of going on and on about random minutae.)

Kenkou Cross has taken the observations on his setting's grimdarkness poorly, to say the least. According to him, the encyclopedia descriptions were in fact grossly exaggerating both the nymphomania of the monstergirls and the intentions of the Monster Lord - the unintended grimdarkness was in fact the product of shoddy translation work. As a result, he forced the most popular website supporting of his work to cease hosting translated versions of his material when they refused to ban anyone espousing those interpretations, and only lets other sites host them on the condition that they prevent anyone from voicing their unhappy opinions.

He also likes to argue that the "blame" lies squarely on his Western fandom, since they don't get the overworked-Japanese-salaryman mindset (because apparently a love of pedophilia/body horror/mindrape is a side effect of stress now?) that apparently makes his setting such a paradise. It hasn't worked because, really, when you get right down to brass tacks, his [[Butthurt|little tantrum]] boils down to the DM failing to understand why anyone ''wouldn't'' want to enter his [[magical realm]] unless there was something wrong with them, compounded with the fact that letting his penis do all the thinking blinded him to the unintentional grimdarkness he was putting in without even realizing it. So if he didn't want it to be grimdark, he shouldn't have written himself into a corner where grimdarkness was the only logical explanation for how everything was still working. Though, admittedly, his attitude wasn't helped by anti-fans sending him hate-mail and death threats.

Oh, a reminder by the way: if the Chief God wins, then all those sexy monstergirls? They immediately revert back to being hideous monsters, and the mamono mindset of "love humans" will be forced to return to "kill humans" and most monsters will not be able to resist it. So a Chief God victory means restarting the original cycle, and anyone who has a mamono lover, is going to wind up being '''killed and eaten by his wife'''. And this time it isn't hyperbole, that's plain and explicit ''fact'', straight from KC, so that's one bit of grimdarkness he's actively promoting, to make the Monster Lord seem the better choice because the alternative is a literal ''worldwide human and monstergirl extinction'' when humanity recovers, arms up, and gets crusading and the monster numbers and powes are so high by now it would basically be mutually assured destruction.

The paradox is perhaps best exemplified by the infamous "Fallen Maidens" series, from a side book about the human kingdom of Lescatier, and a selection of unhappy heroines who got turned into monsters by a lilim before all going after the boy they collectively like. KC's ''intent'' was to present a pallet of girls who were essentially incapable of finding happiness as humans... but, in the process, he made them deeply fucked-up people, and made them carry the scars of their fucked-up lives into their new existences as monsters. The tomboy soldier with a complex about her own womanhood thanks to her abusive mother that ran out on her family and caused her father to undergo a possibly-lethal breakdown becomes an obsessive pregnancy-fetishist who wants to force everyone to become like her. The half-elf with species-angst becomes a nearly-feral wolfgirl who leads "wild hunts" of forced transformation to feed her own sense of liberation-through-animalism. The two princesses, one a heroine put on an impossible pedestal and the other ignored and overlooked due to a weak constitution, find joy in almost literally screaming "fuck you got mine!" and abandoning all concern for the rest of humanity rather than her beau and transforming into a [[/d/| massive tentacle-queen]] and turning the entire castle into her mind-controlled sex slaves, respectively. The list goes on. Rather than actually finding happiness and peace, or acknowledging the ways in which their problems were all in their heads, the Fallen Maidens continue to unhealthily project their issues onto the world rather than healing from them, and their trauma creates such extremist monstergirls that it makes them almost impossible to relate to.

This is probably why later stories, set in the same continuity, heavily turn down both the wild debauchery of post-lilim Lescatier and the severe mental issues of the post-conversion Maidens.

[https://allthetropes.org "All The Tropes Wiki"] (an uncensored fork of TvTropes that hosts all the PROMOTIONS the advertising companies threw a shitfit over) theorizes the grimdark is actually intentional after all, a sort of saccharine-flavored crapsack world where the glass is only half full (as opposed to Warhammer 40k, where the glass is half empty with holes drilled along the bottom). It's not a nice place to live, rape and kidnapping are so common on the frontiers almost everyone is desensitized to it, and roving packs of [[Amazon]]s and [[Drow|Dark Elf]] slavers aren't sugarcoated at all... but there's plenty of people living decent lives and there's still plenty of ways things can get better.

''Maybe.''

...maybe not.

As an aside, many also criticize KC because his girls look like mundane cosplayers, but A) it's not necessarily exclusive to him, B) there's definitely a market for more 'creative' monstergirl design in his world, and C) that's honestly like criticizing the [[Nazi]]s for their jackboot fixation. It's valid, sure, but ultimately rings as a jaywalking charge amongst the arson-murder orgy that is everything ''else'' about the setting.

==...What? You're still here?==
Oh, so you wanna know about the monstergirls we keep insisting prop the whole thing up?

Also, specific answers from Kenkou Cross's [https://ask.fm/k_cross Q&A site], which briefly hint at the future of Monster Girl Encyclopedia world:

==So Why Is This Here?==
You may be asking just why this page is here, and what possible relevance it has to /tg/. Well, there's a couple of reasons.

Firstly, /tg/ loves [[monstergirls]], plain and simple - the average fa/tg/uy has grown up with plenty of media featuring settings where humans lived alongside other non-human sentient beings, and for all its many faults, the MGE is a widely recognized and well-detailed MG setting which both has consistently appealing artwork ''and'' does not shit it up with some of the more hardcore [[/d/]] fetishes, like vore. Whilst the MGE's setting could definitely be better, it could very, ''very'' easily be a lot worse than it is. Deviantart is full of artists who add cannibalism, hard bondage and slavery being common to monster-rich fantasy settings, and Kenkou, though misguided, still has a vague semblance of 'decency' in form of the monster wargods preventing death on both sides, so the victor can fuck/love the defeated to their hearts' content.

Secondly, every so often, a thread pops up on /tg/ about adapting the setting in some way. Sexuality aside there are good idea among the smut for interesting takes on monsters, spirits and other D&D creatures. If it's not anons asking how they can stat up a given mamono race as either PCs or NPCs, it's a thread asking how you might rework the setting for use in running your own campaigns, or even a simple "your last character/party gets dumped into the MGE world; what happens?" idle chatter-thread. In fact, this happened so loften that there is now a pretty much permanent "Monster Girl Worldbuilding" thread that has been running for months - in the grand tradition of /tg/ getting shit done, it's even produced four sets of homebrew rules for running a game in the setting:
*One using the WHFRP 2e system (still WIP): https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-khJ4fE5v2MyrumyZoauEJ4VIucMO-kP1MGHNVtaDkc/edit
*One using the Genesys system: https://docs.google.com/document/d/166447sk679VFybDfLoNwilCfYmtHZbCt3626u6BWPG0/edit
*One using the Dungeon World system: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1tnxUNkYKWeDtVtyPk8sYAiTsfwBwcNeC1DKg_0GTb8U/edit?usp=sharing
*One original system: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1tMoWhMeJ4I6eonyao4GB-kGXzO4CGN4NpbyyXIvwyeo/edit#heading=h.er3da2rqdt3

Thirdly, 4chan's wanna-be rival [[8chan]] has the board /monster/, for which this setting is basically their bible: all [[monstergirl]]s that don't follow KC's rules of sexuality and morality are banned from the site, with the virtually dead board /chaos/ existing as a gathering for those few fans of monstergirls who aren't MGE-vanilla, monsterboys and monsterfutas.

Felinid

2019-09-20T18:01:09Z

2600:1006:B16E:7653:49F0:ADF0:7054:C349: /* What their role in the Imperium is */

[[File:AZZEhPn.png|300px|right|thumb|What /tg/ imagines them to look like. Unfortunately they don't, but we can dream...]]
'''Felinids''' are a strain of [[Abhuman]]s that reside on a very pimpish name for a planet; '''[[Carlos McConnell]]'''. They go by the scientific name ''Homo sapiens hirsutus''. They are on the short list of 'tolerated abhuman strains' maintained by the [[Administratum]], which means that at one point in the story of the Imperium someone high up (probably an [[Inquisitor]] with a furry fetish) decided they were a-okay and did not need to get purged (yet).

Thus ends the entirety of the canonical information on the Felinids. I wish I was kidding.

Judging by their name they might as well be Imperial [[Catgirl]]s, if not full-on [[furries]] (hirsutus = hairy), although the idea on why humanity started growing feline-like traits is beyond the realm of contemporary science. Since almost nothing is known of them, nor their planet, the flood gates were opened for /tg/ to imagine up their relationship with the Imperium; as something only the [[Inquisition|Guys with fancy hats]] would have [[PROMOTIONS|the permission to]] [[/d/|"Study" them.]] Although it would be quite the hilarity to vision a Space Wolf Wulfen chasing down a Felinid.

Speaking of Space Wolves, they may give an explanation as to why Felinids (and all abhumans in general) potentially exist. In Space Wolves fluff, there is a saying that there are no wolves on Fenris. Not to mention that it's implied that Fenrisian Wolves are former humans. And if we take into account the tech of the Dark Age, its quite possible that Felinids (and abhumans in general) are simply the descendants of human colonists who added and modified their genes to survive on the planets they lived on.

== What their role in the Imperium is ==
Although almost nothing is known about the Felinids, we can speculate that they might be used as road (and book shelf) cleaners or construction workers or anything that has to do with civilian work, since they are never mentioned to be part of the military. Furthermore, due to their location on one planet, they might also be used as exotic dancers or sex slaves by your average Imperial Joe. '''''"IF"''''' they were in the Imperial Guard, then they could either be used as scouts, thieves or assassins, but this is mainly a stereotype of Cat-people so it might not be true. That said, they would have a PDF as the Emperor made it completely mandatory for all worlds.

== Their Biology ==
There are three possibilities for Felinid biology, and they depend on their origin. First, as mentioned above, they could be the descendants of human colonists who altered their DNA to survive on their planet. That means we should expect more of an Imperial analogue to [[Catfolk]], with specific biological changes depending on planetary conditions - improved night vision would be very probable, as well as claws, either optimized for speed, like a Cheetah, or for climbing, like most other cats. Other changes would very heavily depend on the cat or cats chosen - tiger felinids and lynx felinids would be fairly different, although both would probably have an unhealthy obsession with string.

Their scientific name, ''hirsutus'', which means "Hairy" in Latin, could also suggest that they are [[Furries]], although how hairy/furry their body could be is up for [[Skub|debate.]] But it must be remembered that even just a little hair would be hairy enough for the Imperium to call them "''hirsutus''" since they just need to be hair''ier'' than normal humans. This possibility has more credence based on the theory that Canis Helix was introduced to [[Fenris|Fenrisians]] to make them hardier, resulting in latent wolf-like traits, [[Wulfen|some]] to the point of [[Fenrisian Wolf|full wolf-like appearance]]. Though again, this isn't hard fact.

The second option is that given our own... fascination with [[catgirl]]s, they could be a case of a [[/tg/|high class member of society]] attempting to create the perfect Waifu, only to find out the Felinids did not like BEING the Waifu and eventually branched off, when their population became big enough, into another Abhuman race. This case would have the Felinds look more like the 10% on the graph down there rather since they were created with looks in mind, not functionality, just like dogs and cats on Terra in M2. In this case they would be much more human-looking, with only a few cat-like physical traits and mannerisms. Some fa/tg/uys have chosen to imagine them as catgirls with glam-rock hair, which given 40k's setting, is very likely. But seeing how grimdark this galaxy is, it can always be [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iUuvHPr4BGk much worse.]

The third option, of course, is that they're simply misclassified Beastmen, with the specific Beast of some sort of cat. Given the usual Beastmen aesthetic, that nearly guarantees a large cat was chosen - probably a lion or tiger, since they have the greatest reputation as "man-eaters" on Terra.

== NOW WITH PROFILES AND RULES ==
[[Image:Furry chart.jpg|thumb|right|The options]]

'''Jaguar Squad (100 pts - Fast Attack):'''

Jaguars are characterized by black or very dark skin and fur. These abhumans are used as forward vanguards or assassins due to their natural affinity for stealth, by the few Guard Regiments that can afford these specialists. They are particularly fond of dipping their Jaguar Claws (extremely large monomolecular clawed gauntlets designed to separate flesh from bone with the ease of snapping one's fingers) in venom before deployment.

== Modeling ==
If you really want to field an army of catgirl guard, you'd better have an overabundance of free time, sculpting skill and greenstuff. Otherwise you're just SOL, because there's virtually nothing else to work with. No conversion bits, no kits from other games to convert, nothing. Not if you want an army of them. There are, however, plenty of individual catfolk models for RPGs and such, so Felinids could conceivably see the 40k tabletop as characters for Inquisitor warbands. Which, from a fluff perspective, is probably where their abhuman talents would see the best use anyway, as count-as death cult assassins or something.

Scratch all that, as of Fall 2018 the appearance of the [[Albedo]] Combat Patrol Miniatures Game has brought with it a cat conversion kit for 28mm models available from Sally 4th, so at long last you can finally have some proper Felinid Imperial Guard.
