Monster《化物め, Monsutā》 is a collective term describing several creatures believed to be opposed both to and by God. Possessed of preternatural strengths and weaknesses, as well as monstrous instincts and an inborn predation towards humanity, monsters are common antagonists in the Hellsing series.
Types of Monsters[]
Vampires[]
- Main article: Vampires
Vampires are the main characters and antagonists of the Hellsing series. They are supernaturally strong and fast beings that hunt and feed on humans, often controlling a larger army of ghouls. Alucard is the most prominent vampire and a true vampire, followed by Seras, the Draculina. They are divided into two groups: artificial vampires, which were humans converted into vampires by Millennium, and true vampires, which were humans converted into vampires naturally.
Werekin[]
- Main article: Werekin
Werekin are humans that exhibit animal-like qualities. There are very few Werekin ever seen in Hellsing. Only two were ever known: The Captain and Schrödinger, a Werewolf and a Werecat respectively. Those two, possibly the only two, have thrown their lot in with the Millennium Organization. With both The Captain and Schrödinger dead with Schrödinger inside Alucard, it is possible that the Werekins are extinct.
Ghouls[]
- Main article: Ghouls
Ghouls are the red-shirts (peons) of monsters. They are undead and totally obedient to their makers, the Vampire who bit them. They are a step above zombies, with the ability to control weapons and work as a functional army. However, they still hunger for human flesh and still have the same viral properties zombies do. Shooting them in the heads or hearts spells death for them.
