There are 4 groups of Monster:

* **GENESIS***:* These are pre-mined Monsters.
* **CHAIN MASCOT**: The symbol of multi-chain foundation of BCMHunt. They are born every time a new chain is connected to the BCMHunt multiverse.
* **WILD**: These are Monsters that are born directly from the blockchain and can be hunted.
* **ARTIFICIAL** (Genetically Engineered): These Monsters are created by merging high-level Monsters (which allows for the merging of rare traits). This is similar to a breeding system in other games.
