Medieval scholar Jacques Le Goff (1924-2014) reflects on monsters in his book The Long Middle Ages and says that they were created by God, firstly to prove his omnipotence, as their existence shows that nothing limits him in his creation, not even reason; and secondly, to teach people what they should and should not be and do.

El medievalista Jacques Le Goff (1924-2014) reflexiona en su libro Una larga Edad Media sobre los monstruos y nos dice que éstos fueron creados por Dios para demostrar, por un lado, su omnipotencia, ya que su existencia demuestra que nada lo limita en su creación, ni siquiera la razón; y por otro, para enseñar al hombre lo que debe y no debe ser y hacer.
