Monsters

Monsters are neutral units in League of Legends found in the jungle and river. Unlike minions, they don’t belong to either team and won’t fight unless attacked. Once provoked, most monsters will retaliate and can be defeated for gold, experience, and powerful buffs—making them a key part of jungle routing and objective control. The main exception is the Rift Scuttler, which doesn’t fight back and instead tries to flee when hit.
