Magic beasts 「魔獣, majū, lit. "demonic beasts"」 are monsters closely related to or evolved from animals, making up the large majority of monsters seen in the series.
Cryptids[]
Cryptids 「幻獣族, kuriputeddo, lit. "Mythical Beast Tribe"」 are a species of demi-spiritual magic beasts that originate from another dimension, born from the magicules of the World Destroying Dragon Ivaragé.
Insectoids[]
Insectoids 「蟲魔族, insekutā, lit. "Insect-Monster Tribe"」 are a sub-species of cryptids. They are the result of Zelanus — an intelligent insectile cryptid raised by Veldanava — spreading his essence to create more of himself. As their name suggests they almost all possess the appearance and traits of insects such as beetles, wasps, and ants. Although most of them are based on insects, some possess forms resembling creatures from the wider arthropod families such as spiders and scorpions.
Dragons[]
Dragons 「竜族, doragon, lit. "Dragon Tribe"」 are a powerul and diverse species of reptilian magic beasts whose origins can be traced back to the Elemental Dragon created by Veldanava as a gift to his daughter Milim Nava. Upon the Elemental Dragon's death and subsequent transformation into the Chaos Dragon, its factor spread throughout the world, resulting in dragons, a species with similar traits to the Elemental Dragon but much weaker, spawning alongside other monsters.[1]
Mystic beasts[]
Mystic beasts 「妖獣, yōjū」 are something like a subcategory of magic beasts. Mystic beasts get their nutrition almost entirely from magicules, while ordinary magic beasts supplement their diet mainly with meat and plants like regular animals.[2]
