Monsters are creatures that are generally antagonistic toward people.

List

 * Cabbage: When cabbages are ready for harvest, they usually escape capture in a mass migration. During autumn, they are able to fly.
 * Lettuce: They also fly, similar to Cabbage. They give less experience than cabbage and are thus less valuable. A few lettuce usually get mixed in with the cabbages during their migration. Somehow, Aqua managed to find mostly lettuce during the cabbage hunt.


 * Giant Toad: Humongous toads large enough to swallow livestock and humans whole. During their mating season, they occasionally venture toward human settlements. Guilds usually issue kill quests to protect the city inhabitants and the livestock. Furthermore their legs seem to be edible as it is often served at the guilds tavern. The Giant Toads seem to dislike metals, so most properly equipped adventurers can easily take them out. During dry and winter seasons, they burrow underground to protect themselves from nature.
 * King Toad (*): King toads are larger versions of Giant toads. When a King Toad is slain the rain season will end early.
 * Unicorn Bunny: Rabbit monsters with sharp horns protruding from their foreheads. Despite their cute appearance, they are carnivorous, usually traveling and attacking in large groups.
 * Onion Duck (Duxion): Duck monsters which carry onions. A rare monster that gives decent amount of experience. Considered a high class delicacy because of their ability to level one fast without any effort. They look identical to Farfetch'd.
 * Giant Earthworm: Large worm monsters measuring at least 5 meters long and 1 meter in diameter. While not particularly strong, they can terrify the hearts of delicate maiden. Adventurers should have an easy time fighting them so long they aren't devoured.
 * Giant Bat: Vulture-sized bats that travel in flocks.
 * Lizard Runner: Human-sized lizard monsters incredibly quick on their two hind legs. A species comprised of a mostly male population, when a princess runner appears, they will compete with other species to determine the fastest among them to determine who deserves to mate with the princess.
 * Hawkite: Another runner-type monsters. They can sense and will target hard objects. They charge toward hard, durable objects at break-neck speed, jumping at last moment to avoid impact. Darkness was targeted by these monsters during their travel to Arcanletia. She claims that the hawkites targeted her due to the small trace of adamantite in her armor, but they more likely targeted Darkness herself.
 * Black Fang: A giant bear beast. Darkness wanted to accept a quest to fight one, but was rejected.
 * White Wolf: Large white wolves usually traveling in packs. Darkness wanted a quest to fight these creatures as well, but was again rejected.
 * One-Hit-Kill Bear (One Punch Bear): Bear monster with high offensive power. Megumin wanted to take on a quest to fight one, but Kazuma rejected the request.

 * Tranquility Girl (Leisure Girl): A plant monster which takes on the appearance of a injured little girl in order to fool adventurers into protecting it, they are smart enough to talk and provide a large amount of experience points. Victims who fall for the Tranquility Girl will stay by its side to protect it and live off its fruit, which contain no nutrients thus resulting in the victim dying of starvation quickly, the victim's corpse is then consumed by the Tranquility Girl as fertilizer. One particular Tranquility Girl grew near the path to the Crimson Demon Village and was later taken out by Kazuma because he knew that she would easily kill Yunyun who was about to travel along the same path. Although they seem to be bad at speaking, it is just an act to hide how they talk like delinquents.
 * Tranquility Queen: Tranquility queens are a bigger older versions of a Tranquility girl. A Tranquility Queen lives long enough to have its roots embedded into a whole forest. A Tranquility Queen can use the body of those who have been absorbed by it in an attempt to "negotiate" Touching a Tranquility Queen's root will result in an instant death (absorbed). The only way to kill a Tranquility queen is to uproot all of it, blow it off with an explosion, or pour pestiside at it. The Main body of a Tranquility queen is The Forest it is in, pestiside gives an effect similliar to being drunk from alcohol to the Tranquility Queen.
 * Chomusuke (*): Megumin's cat familiar, with small bat wings and a cross-shaped marking on her forehead. She usually hides inside Megumin's hat or stays at home during dangerous missions, so only people close to Megumin and her neighbors have seen Chomusuke.

 * Winter Shogun (Jack Frost) (*): Fairy of Winter and master of Snow Sprites that looks like an ice samurai. It is a very powerful monster that will appear to protect the Snow Sprites when people harm them. Its shape and his strong power come from the imaginations of past divine relic holders. It can effortlessly slice through Darkness' sword with ease. Furthermore he cannot be harmed by physical attacks since he doesn't have a real form, and is highly resistant to magic, to the extent to be mentioned being able to resist Explosion. Kazuma was killed by a Winter Shogun once during a quest to kill Snow Sprites.
 * Storm Spirit: Storm Spirits are what causes Typhoons in the world of konosuba they absorb mana from the seas.

 * Haust (*): Male greater demon that serves Wolbach. He is a more powerful demon than Anis, and he worked separately to free and be united with his master. While in Crimson Demon Village, he used food to bribe Komekko to help him solve the complex sealing stone puzzles, and he came to true respect for the young Crimson Demon's superior intelligence. Later, in Axel, he was unfortunate to get into four separate battles with Mitsurugi, remaining of Main Party casts, and Yunyun. He was then finished off by Megumin after exhausting more than half of his strength. At his final moment, he thought about Komekko and hoped to be re-summoned by and serve the young genius in the future.

The shell is laden with precious materials and rock mimics that prompt an emergency quest should it emerge; adventurers have approximately half a day to gather as much as they can, but unfortunately are not able to do so in the alloted time in many cases. In the thirteenth novel, Megumin cast Explosion to clear off the remaining ore, revealing a pure black, unbreakable shell, and the Genbu expressed its gratitude before going back underground.
 * Cloned Hydra (*): The Cloned Hydra is a gigantic Hydra roughly the size of a mansion. It that lay asleep in the lake near Axel to absorb mana in turn healing its self, The Hydra will wake up every few years and the knight corps are sent from the capital to damage it enough to force it to go back into the lake.

 * Dungeon Mimic: A monster that is usually within a dungeon wall and resembles a dazzling treasure chest once an adventurer gets close it reveals its jaws and eats the adventurer.

 * Dragon: Dragons are presented as winged, scaly, serpentine creatures in Konosuba. They can differ in size based on their age, which are classified as "Lesser", "Greater", 'Elder", and "Ancient", in chronological order. They appear to have different abilities and weaknesses based on their subtypes as well. Upon becoming Elder Dragons whom have lived for more than 100 human years (and gained enough wisdom on humans), they gain the ability to speak human speech fluently, and are able transform into a human form at will. However, they will retain some of their draconic traits in said human form, such as their ability to use their breath weapon and their draconic resistances. (Note that Lesser Dragons and Greater dragons cannot communicate to humans or assume a human form, but rather, they are able to understand human emotions as Lesser Dragons, and human speech when they become Greater Dragons)
 * Subtypes of Dragons known:


 * 1) White Dragon: White dragons are a rare subtype of dragon that has a holy attribute. They possess innate Fire resistance, have the ability to breath fire, and can heal their wounds due to their sacred attribute. Their body parts sell for a fortune and are highly coveted by dragon poachers. Faitfore, a key character in Dust's story, (and past), is an (Elder) white dragon bound by covenant to Dust.
 * 2) Gold Dragon: A rare subtype of dragon that eats gold. Their body is a treasure trove of quality ingredients for various magic items and potions. However, they are strong opponents and are extremely hard to defeat. Iris one-hit killed an unfortunate Gold Dragon in LN 10 thanks to her extensive abilities.
 * 3) Bone Dragon: Walking carcasses of dragons. Despite not being able to use their magical abilities, their physical abilities are greatly enhanced, making them extremely dangerous to combat at close range.
 * 4) Red Dragon: A subtype of Dragon. They possess the ability to breath fire, fly, and have innate strong fire resistance. However, they appear to have a weakness to Ice attribute magic (eg. Freeze Gust). Dust slayed an (Elder) Red Dragon, Rouzelli, by piercing her Inverse Scale. Mitsurugi also managed to slay an (Ancient) Red Dragon in a single blow from Gram.
 * 5) Green Dragon: A (potential) subtype of Dragon. Not much details about it is known, other than its dark greenish scales and two horns that extend from the side of its head. It is unknown if it has the ability to fly or has wings. Dust encounters one in Dust! Spinoff 2, Chapter 2, where he assists it in removing a sword from its foot, hence gaining its trust and even rewarding him with treasure later on. This event also demonstrates Dust's affinity towards Dragons for the first time in the series.
