Setting

While Monster Girl Dreams is primarily a (fairly) light-hearted H-game, it possesses some amount of background lore and worldbuilding in order to add context to all the sex you will be having in your time with it.

Ancient History
The origins of the MGD world are unknown. Venereae, the Goddess of Light, is the only known true divinity of the world, but it is unknown whether she was its creator or not.

In the ancient past, around 100,000 years ago, humans and monster girls lived in harmony. Technology was also much more advanced than in the modern era, rivalling or surpassing the technology of current-day Earth. However, the peace ended with Venereae being betrayed by the monster who would become the first Demon Queen, trapping the goddess in the Celestial Realm and instigating the war between monsters and humans. In this weakened state, the goddess was cut off from her angels, but was still powerful enough to grant the gift of Holy magic to humans, allowing them to defeat the first Demon Queen. Little is known of what transpired in the next 98,000 years, but the ancient technology of the time was largely lost during the war.

The goddess' disappearance caused a schism among the angelic Echelons and her church, who were torn between those who who still followed her old faith and those who considered monster girls wicked and rejected the sexual aspects of the faith. This led to the Virtue Echelon of the goddess' servants (including creatures like Nymphs, who are not overly angelic) to be persecuted by her compatriots due to being believed to be simple monster girls. Meanwhile, powerful monster girls begun posing as goddesses, while a notable cult attempted to use an angel to siphon power from Venereae while she was still weak and use that divine energy to create a new goddess, though they were stopped by Sofia.

Demon Queens
Sofia, one of the most powerful Arch-Succubi in the world, was born around 2,000 years in the past. During her life, she served as the object of worship of a sex cult, and served as a Demon Queen, though she eventually left the position due to not enjoying the responsibilities that came with it. After her came a number of other Demon Queens, including an inept Queen who was defeated, either by humans or by another monster girl due to her incompetent rule, within a year, and a Demon Queen named Aria who, in the eve of the final battle with human heroes, confessed her love to one of her Commanders (a dragon girl named Diana) and quit the position in order to live with her. Another notable Queen was a recent predecessor of the current one who was described as sickeningly sweet and nice.

Until 300 to 400 years ago, a Demon Queen was as liable to be deposed by another powerful monster girl who believed she would be a more effective ruler than the reigning Demon Queen. However, such tribalism is largely an element of the past and monster girls are more unified as a whole in the current era than they were in the past. Other Demon Queens either willingly stepped down for a number of reasons such as boredom or were defeated by the party of the hero of the time, although not all defeated Demon Queens were slain in battle.

The Enchantment
Over a span of time that roughly correlates with the unification of the various monster girl groups, the foundations towards peace between humanity and monster girl kind was established. About 100 years ago before the current day, these efforts began to accelerate, possibly spearheaded by the previous Demon Queen noted for being kind.

Roughly 25 years ago, this culminated in the creation of the enchantment (also called barrier), a spell of incredible power which stops acts of violence in Lucidia, forcing all conflict to be resolved with sex battles, but it is unknown whether the previous Demon Queen implemented the enchantment as her final act as Demon Queen or if the current Demon Queen is responsible for the barrier. This was an incredibly notable events as Feng was slain in battle 55 years ago.

Other actions that contributed towards peace include the prohibition of fell magics such as Necromany and the implementation of a law that made fully devouring souls illegal, further pressuring monster girls capable of doing so from harming humans. Despite the ban on Necromancy and other related dark arts, Feng was brought back to life using a combination of magics roughly 50 years ago. Around the current day, developments led to monster girls being able to give birth to human children.

Lucidia is currently ruled by a particularly mysterious Demon Queen whose identity is unknown to all, possibly even some of her Demon Commanders. Adventurers continue to be sent from Fertilia to thwart her, even though her actual plans are unknown. Additionally, the Guild makes no mention of the enchantment to these new members, and put them on heavy debt once they are sent to Lucidia, making them unable to return home easily.

List of Monster Girls
Monster girls in MGD are categorized by "species". Each encompasses a group of monster girls which share a number of similarities, with some of them being explicitly related to one another. These species can be found by using Analyze on the characters, or by checking the game's files for those who are not fightable.

Less powerful Succubi are called "Lesser Succubi". Trisha and the Succubus Campers are examples of Succubi.

Fae
These monster girls are based on mythological fair folk.


 * Elfbubble.pngElves are a proud race of pointed-eared women who live in forests that, while highly intelligent, also possess very high libidos.

Lucidia
Lucidia is the homeland of most monster girls. Portions of monster girl populations seem to govern themselves or live in tribal societies, with only those employed in dungeons serving the Demon Queen's army directly. The capital of Lucidia is mentioned to be ruled by a council, with the Demon Queen not being known to play any role; she is removed enough from the daily affairs of her subjects that the vast majority of them do not know her identity, including her direct subordinates.

Fertilia
Fertilia is the homeland of humankind and that of the game's main character. Little is known of it other than it holds the faith of Venereae as its main religion and it is the home of the Adventurer's Guild.

Celestial Realm
The Celestial Realm is the alternate plane from where angels hail from. The Goddess Venereae lives in this realm, taking Ero and gold donations from her followers in order to keep it running, supply her angels and convert into power for her miracles. Angels such as Lucille can remotely communicate with people out of the Celestial Realm through statues of Venereae.

Eastern Continent
An unnamed "eastern continent" is noted to exist in the setting. It is the homeland of Eastern-themed monster girls such as Kitsune, Onis and Yuki-Onnas. Its role in Lucidian politics and the Lucidia-Fertilia war, if any, is unknown.

Monster Girls

 * Elena mentions that sea travel is difficult around Lucidia, as any passing ships are vulnerable to be sunk by aquatic monster girls. These girls are not encountered or specifically described.
 * Devils are monster girls mentioned by Sofia. They are described as making contracts in order to claim ownership of the souls of other beings. Their relation to demons and succubi is unknown.
 * Fallen angels are mentioned by Lucille as being angels who lost their faith in the Goddess and fell to corruption. Fallen Cherubim are described as "depressed", while Fallen Valkyries are described as the most dangerous.
 * Golems are construct monster girls. One served as a guardian of the Mountain and was befriended by Nara, until she was fired and departed afterwards.
 * Holstauri (s. holstaurus) are a species of monster girl described in the Minotaur's Encyclopedia Entry. They are a race of cow girls who the Minotaurs do not enjoy being compared to, presumably due to differences in behavior. They are mentioned to be herbivorous, in contrast to Minotaurs who are carnivorous.
 * Lamias are mentioned when the player meets Jora, who does not appreciate being confused for one and calls them "sluts". They are assumed to be a race of half-woman half-snake people.
 * Monkey girls are mentioned by Mika. They inhabit the eastern continent and are possibly named "kikis", though Mika is unsure if that was not just the name of the monkey girl she spoke to.
 * Slime Queens are a greater form of slime mentioned by a few characters. Ancilla says a Slime Queen would be able to coordinate the normally-airheaded Blue Slimes of the Forest Dungeon into actual workers.
 * True ghosts are mentioned in the Ghost's Encyclopedia Entry. Unlike the latter, who are slimes pretending to be ghosts, these are true undead. They are noted to disliking being compared to Ghost slimes.
 * Vampires are mentioned by Jennifer. Currently nothing is known of them.
 * Wyverns are mentioned when the player meets Jora. They are a draconic species who have wings but no hands.

Characters

 * The currently unnamed Demon Commander who presides over the Sigil of Luck makes her lair in the Capital's Casino. Himika says she is a "queen" of some description, but Mizuko cuts her off before she can elaborate. They also note she holds much money and power, and that she does logistics for the Demon Queen.
 * Nihltet is the Demon Commander who presides over the Sigil of Technique, who makes her lair in a dungeon in the desert. Sofia and the Oni Twins mention her to the player, describing her as an eccentric scientist who 'does not fit' the technique archetype herself, though her dungeon likely does. She is described as very interested in ancient technology and performs mysterious experiments; Amy is one of her creations.

Trivia

 * While some monster girls are former humans transformed into monsters, some races are confirmed to be able to be born from more basic components;
 * Blue Slimes are born from a combination of water and magical mana.
 * Matangos can pop up from normal mushrooms exposed to a source of demonic energy. The Matangos of the Forest Dungeon were common mushrooms who became monster girls due to Sofia's presence.
 * Imps are able to evolve into other forms of Demon, including Arch-Imps and Succubi (who in turn can evolve into Arch-Succubi).
 * Powerful enough Succubus family lines can skip evolution stages entirely. Mara, for example, was already an Arch-Succubus at birth because of how powerful her family line is.
 * The enchantment has no effect on common animals and plants. Trees can be uprooted and animals can be farmed without any repercussions.
 * Ancilla provides a number of monster girl facts;
 * Alraune Nectar is nutritious enough that a person can live off it for their entire life, though it is considered unhealthy due to its sugary content.
 * Bunny girls are always in heat, unless they are pregnant.
 * Harpies require constant social interaction. If isolated from others, they can die of loneliness.
 * Kitsune have a habit of using their own tails as pillows to cuddle with, especially when young.

 * Despite their watery composition, slimes hate rain, as it disrupts their bodies.
