Monster Category
Tooltip
Every Monster has exactly one Monster Category. These are Humanoid, Beast, Undead, Construct, Demon and Eldritch.

Certain Skills interact with specific Monster Categories.

Monster categories are a property of monsters that separates them into one of six categories. This should not be confused with monster tags, which determine specific internal properties about a monster, or monster types, which are a sub-category which groups monsters with similar properties or looks (such as different types of skeletons).

Certain items, skills, and passive skills may also care about specific monster categories or monster types.

Certain items or passives may allow players to see a monster's monstery category; for example, Tame Beast allows you to view Monster Categories on enemies while the gem is socketed.
