It was possibly one of the most mysterious things in Worldbox. 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 buildings.

During the in-game 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.

Trivia

• It was added added June 5th, 2023 in version 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/Queen or a favorited unit
• If caused to be alive by the Living Houses power, it will lose it's ability to pulse and mutate units
