Do all monsters DIE or just get DEFEATED

This is what I always wondered. Some of the monsters in this game just look innocent and it's sad to think we actually kill them. Thousands of them, millions of them, BILLIONS of them! There's even human enemies in this game, are we killing them? Or are we just defeating them? Sometimes I just think "gosh maple is such a messed up game, so many lives lost".

Some monsters do look like they're just "defeated", but a lot of the animals are KILLED and SKINNED. I find it very sad.

they have freaking babies and when they die their babies be born, grow up quickly, take their parents powers, then go out into the world only to die again lol

When they die they get a message saying "Please click okay to be sent to the nearest dungeon."
Instead of the "Please click okay to be sent to the nearest town.

They turn into unicorns and quickly prance away before anyone can witness them.

Doesn't sudowoodoo (in pokemon) and zakum seem the same? They both are rock-trees.

That... is a very good point. Even if you don't kill them, I guess most of them must still die of blood loss...
Actually, just thought of another point. When you kill a human based monster, do they turn into a zombie/rotting skeleton?

Yes they die, you know when you kill a slime?
Their brain shows up when they dies -squishy liquid-

This raises an interesting point.
There should be a class that lets you level without actually killing anything.

They always re-spawn.
So you keep defeating them.

In one of the Edelstein quests, you need to get Racoon (or w/e the monster was) hearts, fresh.
...
Yes, it can SO totally tear out it's own heart and survive.

We have the original JMS versions now. The kid-friendly CMS versions are gone.

They get defeated and give you exp so you stop bashing on them.

@Jokke91: But then they'd still die.
Now it's murder, or assisted suicide.

Drakes give you their skulls when you 'beat them'.
I somehow don't think they tear out their own skull and run away before they get attacked more.

They seem to die. I guess I don't really know, though.

Don't feel bad about killing the cute ones; they are still evil at heart! They're actually tearing up cities and junk, lol.... according to what some NPCs say, anyway.

You kill them.
You are a murderer.
