|content=The [[Mamono Lord]] is the [[Chief God|god]]-ordained ruler of the [[Monster Girls|monsters]]. Before the rise of the current Mamono Lord, succession was governed by slaughter. The monsters fought until only one remained - their new leader. As a result, the Mamono Lord tended to be vicious and mighty in nature. Linked by [[Mamono Mana|mana]], the Mamono Lord's power swells in proportion to monsterkind's strength; all monsters are influenced by the Mamono Lord's nature, their power rising with their leader's.

The current Mamono Lord is a [[succubus]], for many years, she has applied her power to absorbing [[Essence|essence]] through unceasing copulation with her partner. In this manner, she has attained a god-like power never before garnered by a Mamono Lord.

Objecting to the endless butchery between humans and monsters, she raised her banner against the gods that dictated this. No longer would monsters instinctively kill and devour [[human|humans]], instead, she decreed they should love humans libidinously and subsist by deflowering <ref>This seems to be the only reference in all of the MGE to monsters deriving energy specifically from taking ''virginity''. It might be because of localization issues, or simply meant as a synonym for "ravish," and similar terms rather than strictly the "deprive of virginity" meaning.</ref> them. She granted monsters beautiful, feminine forms unlike those they had before; she gave them sexual powers, diabolical in nature, and a profound love for humankind. This new premise is unchanging, even as the Mamono Lord accumulates ever-greater might and expands the forces of monsterkind. Her ultimate goal is the creation of a new, harmonious race in which humans are the males, and monsters the females.}}</div>


===The Mamono Lord's Army===

|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>


===The Extremists===

|content=The Extremists are a radical faction within the Mamono Army, spearheaded most prominently by [[Demon|demons (p.10)]] and [[Devil|devils (p.12)]], and are infatuated with the Mamono Lord's goal of a united race. While they swear fealty to the Mamono Lord, their philosophy is generally more extreme than hers. They conduct incursions into human territory, pursuing human women to transform into monsters and thus envelop the whole world in the mamono realm.

The majority of monsters have only one thing on their minds: living ecstatically with their husbands. Most only monsterize women as a personal favor - but the Extremists are not most monsters. They cleave to their vision, resolve unwavering, and monsterize every woman they see, believing that all women should be monsters. As stated earlier, if a monster such as a demon or devil pours mana into a woman, and the woman hasn't the proper aptitude, she typically becomes a succubus. Because the Extremists wish to expand their ranks, however, they have instituted an Organization of Breaking. Through harsh and thorough training, this organization seeds the Extremists' philosophy into the minds of women who are to become devils and demons.

The Extremists' best-known activities include invading human states, monsterizing their women, raping their men, and engulfing them all in the mamono realm. That said, the Extremists also conduct more subtle operations, such as smuggling items that induce monsterization, like edible plants or cursed items, into the human realm.

Though the Extremists believe that all lands must eventually become monstrous, they do not invade human territory indiscriminately. A number of states and communities are under their constant, close monitoring; they take great care to choose the best ways to minimize human and monster casualties and provide happy, lascivious lives for residents after they are swallowed by the mamono realm. Only after planning a thoughtful campaign do they begin invasion.

Even so, situations considered too urgent to overlook may arise: portents of mass monster executions, war between states, civil unrest, oppression of the poor, persecution of human groups - as well as the sacrifice of individual rights to the whims of society. Extremists allocate resources and personnel posthaste to take immediate and unequivocal actions against such situations, which they view as victimizations of their future monstrous partners and comrades that cannot be ignored - lest the blood of their soon-to-be brethren flows in the streets before they become part of the mamono realm.

Readers may recall the recent case of the [[Lescatie|Theocracy of Lescatié]]. Lescatié was the second-largest Order-affiliated state in the world until it was overthrown by [[Druella|one]] of the [[lilim]], who are the daughters of the Mamono Lord (MGE I, p.234). After the overthrow, it became the Mamono Realm of Lescatié, which [[Wandering Scholar|the author]] visited while conducting research for the book [[Monster Girl Encyclopedia World Guide I: Fallen Maidens|''Fallen Maidens'']].}}</div>
