|content=The [[Mamono Realm]] is made of discrete realms scattered throughout the [[Monster Girl Encyclopedia world|world]]. Most massive of these is [[Royal Makai]]. Within it stands the [[Mamono Realm#Royal Mamono Realm|Mamono Lord's castle]], protected by the [[Mamono Army]]. This body is charged with the protection of the surrounding town, as well as those who abide there: monsters and their accompanying men.

Biologically speaking, all monsters live under the Mamono Lord and her influence. However, not all individual monsters serve the Mamono Lord directly. Some live in small tribes, form fully independent factions, or serve other powerful monsters. There are even monsters known to serve the rulers of the human kingdoms in which they live alongside their male companions.

The Mamono Army is not a reference to all the Mamono Lord's biologically-bound monsters in general, but rather to the members of the society that centers on, and serves her, directly. Their primary function is to fight [[The Order|the Order of the Chief God]], which continues to oppose monsters, believing they are the enemy of god and man, and must be destroyed. They disregard the new Mamono Lord's succession, which has taken place since the time when monsters gorged on humankind.

The Mamono Army also responds to disasters and other pressing concerns. The scope of its activities extends beyond the Mamono Lord's castle and [[Royal Makai]]. It protects other mamono realms throughout the world and collaborates closely with the pro-monster human states. These states have chosen a path of co-existence with monsters, answering their call from branches and stations across the world. In addition to monsters who have long sworn fealty to the Mamono Lord, the Army's ranks are drawn from monster volunteers who hope to acquire men in the field or in battle - as well as from former human warriors, now [[Monsterization|corrupted]] into [[Incubus|incubi]] or monsters, who still wish to follow their calling. The scale of the Mamono Army is, thus, tremendous.

Combatants in the Mamono Army use weapons made of a special metal: [[Mamono Realm Silver|realmsilver]]. Such weapons do not cause pain. Instead of drawing blood, essence or mana flows from the body of the target, allowing the Army to subdue its opponents non-lethally. Once a target has been immobilized, a monster is likely to attack and possess him on the spot, though she may also carry him of as a prisoner. The Mamono Army treats prisoners of war extremely graciously. Married men taken prisoner may be released or relocated to the mamono realm with their families. Unmarried men are carefully but vigorously assessed by many monsters while in jail. They are then seduced and taken off by one of these monsters as her companion.

Discipline in the Mamono Army is lax. If a monster requests relocation because of a man, her request is usually granted. It is assumed that couples will serve together, and monsters with partners tend to be deployed to defensive encampments so they can spend their time copulating with their husbands - except in times of emergency. The front lines are left to unmarried monsters eager to meet men and make them into their husbands.}}</div>
