Many monsters are placed during dungeon creation, but more are created over time. Specifically, there is a "monster generation rate" (MGR), and every 5 turns, there is a (5 in MGR) chance of a monster spawning somewhere on the level.  The MGR's value varies:

* [[Pandemonium]]: MGR starts at 50; after 3k turns, it gradually rises up to 300 at 15k turns (meaning that monster spawn slower over time).
* Main dungeon: starts at 240 for the first 3k turns, then linear increase (less spawning) to 1440 at 15k turns, after which generation stops entirely.  After 1k turns, the odds of badly [[out-of-depth]] monsters start rising.

* [[Abyss]]: MGR is set to 5, meaning that there will always be a monster every 5 turns.<ref>{{source ref|0.28.0|mon-place.cc|318}}</ref>
* [[Pandemonium]]: Same but going from 50 to 300, and "out-of-depth" is moot.

* During the [[Orb run]]: set to 18, with a special monster set:<ref>{{source ref|0.28.0|mon-place.cc|313}}</ref>
* [[Hell]]: starts at 240, increases after 500 turns.

**[[Pandemonium lord]]: 10%

* Orb run: set to 8, (16 if you are a follower of [[Cheibriados]]), and the monster set is special:

While monsters do not normally spawn once you enter a floor, some effects or branches may generate new monsters as you stay in it. Specifically, there is a "monster generation rate" (MGR), and every 5 turns, there is a (5 in MGR) chance of a monster spawning somewhere on the level. The MGR's value varies:

For worshippers of Cheibriados, the MGR in the Abyss or while holding the Orb of Zot is doubled (equal to half the spawn rate).
