Story
"If not, it can't be helped..."

True final boss. Can be unlocked as a secret character by beating it. It's also completely mute, so no auditory ques.


 * Boss version: Boss version Monster shares previous bosses' lack of Meter Freeze and accelerated meter gain rate, but every attack it does now depletes your meter on hit or block. Monster can be fought as many times as long as there is one remaining character that isn't killed by it (it regenerates 30% health for every continue, and regeneration will only apply until it hits back 100% health), but there is a universal time limit (as long as its leitmotif?) that counts down during the very first round. The longer you take to fight it, the faster it gains meter and the more chip damage it deals on block (the last 20 seconds augments all of its attacks to deal 100% damage + no proration). Once the countdown is finished, Ruger's psyche becomes completely shattered (i.e; it stops holding back), and Monster becomes utterly invincible (its hurtbox vanishes completely), gains infinite meter (as in, Ex-Drive-will-not-remove-meter infinite), and will spam attacks over and over again until you die or just instantly kill you with its Ex Drive (if you somehow dodge it with i-frames, it'll spam it again until you die). If Monster wins during the countdown is finished, it's instant game over regardless of how many characters are remaining. That means you cannot time-out this boss. If the same character is used again during a continue instead of choosing a new character, a random character from the remaining roster will be killed in his/her place instead.

Overview
Playable version of Monster is toned down; it doesn't Meter kill on hit/block, its health is nerfed down to the same as Ruger's and it's subjugated to damage proration/meter freeze like any other characters. Additionally, Monster's Ex Drive is also condition-locked. However, Monster's damage value remains unchanged (a single combo can straight up kill anyone not named Weir/Yurischa), so it's still ludicrously broken.
