All monsters in ''Crawl'' are sorted into six fundamental categories of '''holiness''': [[:Category:Holy_holiness|Holy]], [[:Category:Demonic_holiness|Demonic]], [[:Category:Undead_holiness|Undead]], [[:Category:Nonliving_holiness|Non-living]], [[:Category:Plant_holiness|Plant]], and [[:Category:Natural_holiness|Natural]].

Monsters of each type of holiness have several [[monster attributes|attributes]] in common. For instance, all plants, undead, and nonliving are [[unbreathing]]. Only [[natural]] monsters are vulnerable to [[negative energy]]. Demons and undead are automatically [[evil]].

From '''mon-data.h''', line 45:
MH_HOLY - irritates some gods when killed, immunity from holy wrath weapons
MH_NATURAL - baseline monster type
MH_UNDEAD - immunity from draining, pain, torment; extra damage from holy
wrath/disruption; affected by repel undead and holy word
MH_DEMONIC - similar to undead, but repel undead effects are ignored --
*no* automatic hellfire resistance
MH_NONLIVING - golems and other constructs
MH_PLANT - plants
