Monster

A Monster is a particular classification of unit in League of Legends. Monsters are neutral, meaning that they will not attack any champion on their own, but they will always defend themselves when attacked. Monsters reside in the jungle, and will not move from their designated camp unless attacked. In that case, the monster will try to reach its attacker, but will not go beyond a certain distance from the camp; if the monster is unable to attack its target, it will try to return to its camp, regenerating its full health in a few seconds.

Monsters should not be confused with minions, which are not neutral and follow a predetermined path from spawning at their team's nexus towards the opposite one.

Killing a Monster
Killing a monster will always reward its killer with gold and experience points split between every allied champion within an 400-unit range. Like minions, the gold and experience rewards from slaying monsters increases as the game progresses. Also, certain epic monsters will offer greater rewards. For example, some monsters provide a buff or a global reward to the entire team. After a camp has been completely cleared, it will remain empty for an amount of time specific to that camp (called Respawn Time). The camp will not respawn if it is not entirely clear.

Sigil monsters, when slain, grant their killer a buff. Monsters of this type are usually indicated by swirling colored runes around them, which will be transfered to the killing champion.

The following table lists the various monsters of this category along with the buff they grant:

While the monsters above only grant a buff to a single person, there exist monsters that grant the buff to every living member of the killing team, regardless of whether or not they participated in slaying the monster. Since these monsters are more valuable than others, they are usually more difficult to slay. They also grant gold and experience to the whole team.

The is unique in that it will not grant a buff, only a 190 global gold reward to its killing team.
