A monster character arc
It is well known that heroes have character arcs. If our hero is young, then the arc runs from youthful inexperience to adult mastery, by way of an older guru, a nemesis, a comedy sidekick and a romantic something or other.

“It’s all about truth,” he said. “We don’t trust governments because they don’t tell us the truth. They make every story sound like it’s good news, even when it’s not. Those who are in power sing their own praises. Those who aren’t in power criticise those that are. And no-one tells the whole truth. That’s why we look for conspiracies. We know we are being lied to. We just don’t know what they are lying to us about.”
