This is a Boilerplate. Only edit this article if you know what you are doing.


Use this boilerplate article as a guideline on how to make Monster articles.

If you have already read all the instructions in this boilerplate, you might find it easier to use the copy+paste article to copy and paste to your new article:

Make sure to read up on the help section, so you know how to properly edit articles before continuing.


First add a brief intro about the article, above all the headlines. Make sure to have the name of the article in the first three words of the first sentence, and bold it. Keep it as short and descriptive as possible. One or two lines of text.


If the article is a fan monster, make sure to add the {{fanmade}} header template (see Template:Fanmade for help). Also add the "|Name_of_author" attribute to give credit to the author, or yourself, whomever originally came up with the idea. Also credit any fan artists that might have helped.


Secondly, under the first headline, update the Monsterbox. This one is just here as an example on how it can look:
