What exactly is considered a monster

Really I can't find where in books, which/or how models are models included in the monster entry which means hurl, barge etc. In the Hobbit rulebook, it is written generally but not specifically. Ok all know that a troll is included in this list, but can a bat hurl? can giant spiders hurl?

The only list I found is in the GW's site, where in "Type" entry there is the selection "Monster" (which btw includes bats and spiders).

P.S: if there is something in an errata excuse me I really think I searched for it everywhere.

Their profile will say monster in it. Right next to their name: William (Bill) (Troll, Monster)

In the hobbit supplements, indeed. But not in the classic lotr supplements that we are currently using.

The latest versions of all LotR-era profiles (i.e. those found in the 5 supplements: Mordor, Moria&Angmar, Kingdoms of Men, Fallen Realms, Free Peoples) all have the 'monster' keyword listed, where appropriate.

They didn't have the monster rules way back when, which is why they got updated.

Yeah this is obvious guys. I am asking how to determine the monster list in the 5 supplement that there are still the newest one for those models they include.

Ok, you're making no sense. What supplements do you mean? The 5 that literally have the word "Monster" included next to the name?

Valadorn - all the current sourcebooks include the word 'monster' next to the relevant profiles. If yours do not then you are using the older, out-dated sourcebooks. The current and active range of sourcebooks are:

An Unexpected Journey
The Desolation of Smaug
The Battle of the Five Armies
Mordor
Kingdoms of Men
Fallen Realms
Moria and Angmar
The Free Peoples

Hope that helps

I am asking for forgiveness by everyone. There was no misunderstanding on the books that was the obvious part and the answers confused me. There are some models like Half-Trolls etc that I was sure that had the entry monster. After that I thought that they only corrected that after the hobbit expansion.

Everyone is right, again sorry for misunderstanding and thank you for your time.
