Interesting thoughts on God of Monsters

[Adamaro]

I, as a DM personally feel that monsters in my campaigns need a patron. I would really like your opinion on this, what would be its name and apperance

[Ranos]

It's a bit of a large term. What's a monster ?
If it's everything in the monster manual, then that means every creature in existence.

Except humans.

I think that the best fit would be Tiamat, who is ironically also the goddess of adventurers.

I believe that Pathfinder has a goddess of monsters called Lamashtu (iirc ) looks like a giant pregnant gnoll if memory serves...

There are plenty of monstrous gods out there. Gruumsh is the god of orcs. Kurtulmak is the god of kobolds. Maglubiyet is the god of goblins. Ilsenine is the god of illithid. Tiamat and Bahamut are the gods of dragonkind. I think the Yuan-ti had a god, and lizardfolk probably too. Most of the monsters intelligent enough to worship a deity already do, or have a reason not to.

You are of course free to change this for your own homebrewed setting, just thought I'd point this out.

Shub-Niggurath!
or if you're looking for something a bit more traditional, in some Christian-ish traditions Lilith is the mother of monsters (or the first vampire) and Echidna was known as "the mother of all monsters" in the Greek tradition.

This also sorta reminds me of tracker from marvel comics. He was the god of machines (as in all normal machines worshiped him). Unfortunately I think he only made one appearance.

Also Also, I'd go for it. Monsters need some help, what with all the scary adventurers running around.

Honestly, unless you're going for a setting like Ancient Greece or Eberron, the idea of all monsters worshiping the same god just because they're monsters is more than a little silly.

uhm....

Godzilla?
duh?

We already know who the god-king of monsters is. It's godzilla he who crushes cities and creates epic level encounters by shedding. The tarrasque is but a pale imitation.
