Monsters in League of Legends are neutral jungle units that only fight when attacked (except the Rift Scuttler, which runs away). Here's what you need to know about them:

Types of Monsters:

• Epic Monsters: Baron Nashor, Dragons, Elder Dragon, Rift Herald
• Large Monsters: Ancient Krug, Blue Sentinel, Crimson Raptor, Greater Murk Wolf, Gromp, Red Brambleback, Rift Scuttler
• Small Monsters: Krug, Mini Krug, Murk Wolf, Raptor, Voidmite

Monster Behavior:

• Stay in designated camps until attacked
• Have a maximum "leash range" they can move from their camp
• Lose patience when target is out of range or switches too often
• Will reset and heal if patience depletes completely
• Monster camps respawn after being fully cleared

Key Monster Rewards:

• Grant gold and experience to killer
• Epic monsters provide team-wide buffs
• Buff camps (Blue/Red) grant individual buffs
• Dragon slaying grants stacking team buffs
• Baron buff empowers minions and recall

Important Mechanics:

• Monsters scale in level with game time
• Lower level champions get bonus XP from higher level camps
• Many champion abilities and items have special interactions with monsters
• Vision of camps provides timing information to teams

Understanding monster mechanics is crucial for effective jungling and objective control in League of Legends.
