The world of Monster Hunter Stories.
Riders: People who form bonds with monsters and live alongside them. In this world, interacting with monsters in a friendly manner is considered heretical, and their existence is kept secret to avoid causing public fear. Riders live quietly in remote regions to avoid trouble. Consequently, ordinary people are unaware of their existence.
Otomon: Monsters that have formed a bond with a Rider. They basically do not harm humans. Typically, a Rider hatches a monster egg and raises it to become an Otomon, though there are exceptions.
Kinship Stone: A stone carried by Riders. It is used to form bonds with monsters. Riders use it to call their Otomon or to hatch monster eggs. Blue is common, but other colors like red and yellow exist. They are worn as accessories on pendants or clothing.
Hunters: People who hunt monsters. They train daily to face monsters with immense power. Their common sense dictates that "monsters are beings that bare their fangs at humanity." Therefore, they fear the existence of Riders. Most Hunters are unaware that Riders exist.
Monsters: Living creatures in this world. They come in various forms. While they are beings that bare their fangs at people, they also provide various blessings. Most monsters are feared, but herbivores like Aptonoth are sometimes kept as livestock.
