.MONSTER File

A MONSTER file contains information about a monster created with D&D 5e Statblock Generator, a web program used to generate stats (statblocks) for monsters used in Dungeons & Dragons (D&D) play. It stores information in plain text in a JSON-like attribute-value format. MONSTER files include all the attributes for the monster, such as the name, size, type, speed, armor, strength, and abilities.
