What is ment by monsters or minions ?

Do dark anchors, world bosses and dungeon bosses count as them or is there special monsters and minions added in for the event ?

    Also other players do not count as monsters, even if they are secretly evil.
    Just so that everyone knows, my Altmer still can't have black hair. About a dozen of Altmer NPCs in the game have black hair. Just saying.

    Meet my characters:
    Command: Do the thing.

    Zadarri, Khajiit Fist of Thalmor: The thing was done, as commanded.
    Durza gra-Maghul, Orc blacksmith: The thing was done perfectly, in the most efficient way.
    Tegwen, Bosmer troublemaker: You can't prove I didn't do the thing.
    Sings-Many-Songs, Argonian fisher: Sure, I'll do the thing... Eventually. Maybe.
    Aerindel, Altmer stormcaller: After extensive research, I've come to the conclusion that doing the thing would be a waste of resources.
    Liliel, Dunmer pyromancer: Aerindel said I shouldn't do the thing. Something about "resources".
    Gyda Snowcaller, Nord cryomancer: I will find a way to do it that won't waste resources and make Aerindel proud of me.
    Beatrice Leoriane, Breton vampire: I persuaded someone else into doing the thing. You are welcome, dear.
    Sahima, Redguard performer: Doing the thing sounds awfully unpleasant and really not my problem.
    Ellaria Valerius, Imperial priestess: I'll pray to the Eight for the thing to be done, if it is Their will.

    again?

    @ZOS what about you bring back to the store no more available items for 3 days? You know, for people like me who don't give a damn about crates and is not going to be interested even after the "freebies".

    At least you could get some money from me bringing back items, this way you won't see a dime for sure.

    And with my luck I could find in the free crates one of those awful skeletal mounts that just disgusts me to imagine in my collection. I may pass even to open them this time around.

    Is there a way, in case I actually find one of those things, to refuse to pick them up so they won't be added to my mounts?

    What determines a monster? Is a enemy humanoid mob a monster? Is a Giant a monster? What about a Kagouti? Some of these I would internally not consider to be technically a monster. While things like a Wisp Mother or a Vampire to be monsters. Obviously that very well may differ from other players and even the developers.

    I think they should really clarify what monster means here in their own terms and not use such a generic term that could encompass all of the mobs in the game or just a few.

    From above:

    yes, it means, any enemy NPC (monster, boss, animal, etc, overland, in dungeons, dolmens, delves, trials, any), just PVP kills of other players do not count to this. so basically, you just log in, kill any enemy NPC and you get a free crown crate

    I seriously doubt it as they are not enemies really. They are docile. I assume any non-player that has a red outline when you target them would count.

    One grey area (or should I say yellow area?) would be NPCs like crabs that are yellow when targeted which are docile unless you attack and then they become hostile. Not sure if they would count.

    But, really, there are so many easy to kill enemy NPCs, it should be super easy to find one and kill it each day.

    A monster is someone who harvests a node and leaves behind the worms. The game is now rewarding you for killing them, and rightly so.
