Ungeheuer oder Ungetüm ist ein Ausdruck für Geschöpfe, in der Regel imaginäre Phantasietiere („Untiere“), die sich durch Größe, Stärke oder auch Hässlichkeit hervorheben. Monster oder Monstrum bezeichnet ein widernatürliches, meist hässliches und angsterregendes Gebilde oder eine Missbildung. Auf tatsächlich lebende Personen bezogen bedeutet Ungeheuer auch Scheusal oder Unmensch.
