Monster Tamer

Concept by Timothy Ott Sr.

The Kingdom of Monsters is a realm where humans capture
and train monsters for entertainment, protection, and power.
But humans are not the only race in the Kingdom. Long ago, the
dwarves and elves of the Kingdom went to war with the humans,

who pushed them back and secluded them in their homelands
with an army of monster trainers. Since that time, the races have
adopted their own forms of monster training that they deem are
less servitude and more partnership.
