Monstrumology is the scientific study of monsters, focusing on their biology, behavior, and cultural significance. This field examines various creatures often found in folklore and mythology, analyzing their origins and the impact they have on human society. The term is most commonly associated with the fictional work of Rick Yancey, particularly his book series titled "The Monstrumologist." In this series, a young apprentice learns about the existence of real monsters, blending elements of horror and science. Monstrumology explores the intersection of fear, fascination, and the unknown in human experience.
