History:
All monsters are descended from an Alpha, or leader, who are the progenitors of their various species. The Alphas were born of Eve, the Mother of All Monsters, an entity that first walked the Earth some 10,000 years ago. Leviathans were the first beasts created by God, they were banished to Purgatory as means of protecting creation from their hunger. It is also implied that Eve, and her progeny, are in some fashions descended from the Leviathans.
Purgatory also serves as the final resting place for the souls of the Monsters. However, Purgatory is also home to the natives of that plane-- such as gorilla-wolves as well as the unknown species that Eve belongs to.
What The Different Creatures Are:
Werewolves -- mythological humans with the ability to shape shift into a wolf, or hybrid, either purposely or after being placed under a curse. There are two types, Lycan and Loric. Lycans are formed in Tribes and more in touch with the spiritual side, they also do not have another side that would be consider their 'wolf side'. Lorics are formed in packs and less in touch with the spiritual side. They do have a 'wolf side' in which, the wolf is a voice in their head, has a different name than than the person, and can take control whenever they want, unless the person fights it off.
Vampires -- a being who subsists by feeding on the life essence (generally in the form of blood) of the living. They do not sparkle or burn in sunlight, but get blinded by it as their eyes are heightened more than the average human making them extremely sensitive to sunlight.
Reverse Vampires -- with their features appearing less sinister, they feed off of the blood of plants, love the daylight and morning hours, as their eyes are like a regular human's, and they are stronger than the average vampire (based on the intensity of the sun as only a small percent of their eyes are heightened).
Trolls -- a mythical, cave-dwelling being depicted in Folklore as either a giant or a dwarf, typically having a very ugly appearance.
Dragons -- mythical monster, like a giant reptile, that usually breathes fire and tend to symbolize chaos or evil. Some, however, breathe other things like frost, poison, ice, water, etc.
Phoenixes -- a unique bird made of fire that lived five or six centuries, mostly in deserts, after this time burning itself on a funeral pyre and rising from the ashes with renewed youth to live through another cycle.
Golems -- a clay figure brought to life by magic, usually to protect a certain person/people, place, or thing.
Shapeshifters -- a being with the ability to change their physical form at will but the form has to be earned. The first forms they are born with are up to the parents.
Hellhounds -- a demon in the form of a dog usually summoned to do a demon's dirty work but can also be in the form of a wolf and collects debt owed by both, immortal and mortal beings that haven't been paid.
Amazons -- a legendary race of female warriors in Scythia (near the Black Sea in modern Russia) or elsewhere in the known world.

Sprites -- elves, fairies, proxies and imps.
Genies -- a spirit of Arabian Folklore, as traditionally depicted imprisoned in a bottle or oil lamp and capable of granting wishes when summoned.
Mermaids -- a mythical half-human sea creature with the head and trunk of a woman and the tail of a fish. They can also go rouge, be cursed, or turn evil and turn into Sirens, mythical women who use their voice to wreck ships and eat/kill human men.
Elves -- a supernatural creature of folk tales, typically represented as a small elusive figure in human form with pointed ears, magical powers and a capricious nature.

Unicorns -- a mythical animal typically represented as a horse with a single, straight horn projecting from its forehead.
Werecats -- a mythical being that transfers from human to any feline form; an analogy of the Werewolf.
Angels -- a spiritual being believed to act as am attendant, agent, or messenger of God, conventionally represented in human form with pure white, feathered wings. If they rebel against God, they can fall and become servants of Death or Hades with black, feathered wings.
Demons -- an evil spirit especially one thought to possess a person or act as a tormentor in Hell.
Demi-Demons -- the children of demons and humans.
Demi-Angels -- the children of angels and humans.
Ghosts -- are created when the spirit of a person that has died remains connected to the Mortal Realm, because it is attached through unfinished business or an unwillingness to move on. If a ghost is not put to rest or cannot move on of their own accord, they will eventually become vengeful spirits, poltergeists, or a subclass of vengeful spirits known as spectres.
Reapers -- are a type of divine supernatural beings that work for Death, though their physiology appears to be different to regular angels, as they do not require a vessel to manifest. Dealers assist spirits in moving on from the Mortal Realm when they die, maintaining the natural order of Life and Death. They're typically neutral, however, they can become rouge and offer their services for a price.
Fairies -- are incredibly powerful beings that come in various shapes and sizes and originate from a realm separate to ours called the 'Fairy Kingdom' in which is ruled by the fairy king, Harlequin.
