'''Game Description''' "?.?"

== Description ==
It appears as a tall shiny black pillar surrounded by heightened rocks, making it look like it made an impact upon it's surroundings. The rocks closely match the color of [[bone]] deposits and the bones in orc [[:Category:Buildings|buildings]].

During the in-game [[Months|month]] of Monolith (equivalent of the real-life month of April), it begins an animation where it pulses red. In beta 0.50 it mutates any creature to become sentient, and also has a chance to evolve creatures into the new species. There have been teasers of the possibility of being more uses for the monolith. ''It currently does nothing in the base game.'' <gallery>

== Trivia ==

* It was added added June 5th, 2023 in version [[0.22.0.19372023 - The Grand NK-86 Memorybox|0.22.0]]
* For two years the monolith was constantly teased until a function for it was released in the 0.50 beta on April 1st, 2025 (archived [[Monolith News]] page)
* It is most likely a reference to the Sci-fi 1968 movie "2001: A Space Odyssey", a highly critically-acclaimed movie. Some have also guessed it could be a reference to Elinson's novel ("I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream" ), including a maniacal AI named AM, or the video game with the same title but this is more disputed and not supported based off the monolith's current abilities.
* Some people use the Monolith as a marker for where an important event happened, such as the death of a [[King|King/Queen]] or a favorited [[:Category:Creatures|unit]]
* If caused to be alive by the Living Houses power, it will lose it's ability to pulse and mutate units
