A Sentimonster is a living creation/being born from a person's emotions through Amokization, the superpower of the Peacock Miraculous, which involves turning a white feather into an Amok. They can take on a vast variety of forms and sometimes have special powers.
Creation[]
Whenever a person or people feel strong emotion(s), positive and/or negative, the Peacock Miraculous holder takes one of the feathers from their hand fan and charges it with magical energy, transforming the feather into an amok. The Peacock owner then sends the Amok away to reach the person or people with the strong emotions.
Once the Amok reaches the recipient, it inhabits an object belonging to them, after which, a telepathic connection is established between the recipient(s) and the Peacock Miraculous holder allowing them to communicate through a peacock-shaped light mask that appears in front of their faces. The wearer of the Peacock Miraculous will then have the ability to manifest a Sentimonster from the recipient's emotions via a magical dark-blue ether that appears next to the amok recipient. The Peacock Miraculous holder will also be able to remotely communicate with the recipient and the Sentimonster with telepathy similar to how Rena Rouge and Volpina can communicate through their illusions.
It is revealed in "Representation", that there is more than one way for the Sentimonster to manifest; when Adrien Agreste and his cousin Félix Fathom were manifested, it was as growing fetuses inside their respective mothers' womb.
Human sentimonsters can even create their own sentimonsters from their own emotions by using the Peacock Miraculous, as Felix was able to create Red Moon while using a copy of Adrien's ring as the amokized object in "Emotion".
The Peacock Miraculous holder can also create sentimonsters from their own emotions. Whilst multiple Sentimonsters can exist, only one can be created per user. In order for a new Sentimonster to be created by the same user, the current one must be dispelled.
In "Representation", It is revealed that the amok can remain inside the Amokized object even after the Peacock Miraculous holder who used it and/or the recipient of said amok have died/passed away, the Sentimonster that is created will continue to exist and live as well.
Nature[]
The Sentimonster has an appearance and abilities that correspond to the recipient and the emotion they felt, the same emotion that the Sentimonster was manifested from, and they can come in a very wide variety of shapes and sizes; including animals, anthropomorphic objects, humans, and much more. They can be very large, towering over buildings, or very small, able to fit in the palm of ones hand. Sometimes, a Sentimonster will possess special superpowers that go beyond its anatomy and brute strength. Depending on the complexity of its creation, Sentimonsters can range from basic sentience to fully sapient beings capable of complex thought. A Sentimonster can also possesses personality traits that relate to its physical form. For example, Kuro Neko, a Sentimonster in the likeness of a cat, likes to eat grass to help it cough up its hair balls, the same as a real cat does.
According to Thomas Astruc, "Sentimonster" is not a species, it is a "status" one may have.[1] The nature of the manifested emotion ultimately depends on what it is made to be. If a Sentimonster is made to be human, then it is just as real and human as anyone else.[2] Sentimonsters are not even necessarily living beings, it all depends on how they were conceived during the creation process.[3]
A Sentimonster will obey the order of whoever is in possession of their Amokized object, even if that person is an opponent of the Peacock Miraculous holder and/or the person whose emotions the Sentimonster was manifested from. If a Sentimonster gets ahold of their Amokized object, then they will be able to think and act on their own free will, as seen in "Ladybug", "Representation", and "Re-creation".
As seen in "Truth", "Sentibubbler" and "Kuro Neko", a Sentimonster can receive commands from the Peacock Miraculous holder and/or the person who possesses their Amok, even if they are out of earshot.
Due to an Amok being connected to a Sentimonster's life force, if an Amokized object suffers a minor damage, the Sentimonster it controls can suffer pain as well, as seen in "Representation", when Colt cracked his Amokized ring, thus causing Félix to collapse.
As stated by Nathalie in "Feast", the Peacock Miraculous holder can only control the Sentimonsters if they possess the Amokized object. However, they would still be able to release another Peacock Miraculous holder's Sentimonster from existence, which could be used as leverage to make the Sentimonster compliant.
Sentimonsters are also highly durable, if not outright indestructible, even with the Cataclysm, the power of the Cat Miraculous capable of feats up to galactic or universal destruction, being unable to outright destroy a Sentimonster. If Cataclysm is used on a Sentimonster, it will cause cracks to appear and spread all over its body. This damaged state can deeply effect the Sentimonster in question, breaking the link between the sentimonster and its Amok holder, causing it to go berserk, like a bee sting on a bull. However, this was not the case when Cat Noir was hit by Cataclysm in "Miraculer", instead he reacted with pain and agony like a regular human Miraculous holder. It could be a result of his miraculous suit protecting him, or his physical nature as a human-sentimonster. It may also be due to the fact that it was done via akumatization and not the real Cat Miraculous. It's unknown what would happen if the Cataclysm were used on a sentimonster more than once or to a stronger extent.
Sentimonsters can also lack certain abilities, such as being good at soccer. Similar to humans, humanoid sentimonsters need to or can be taught these skills. But sometimes even if humanoid one despite being based on a human, isn't taught a certain skill or if not all the skills and abilities their human counterpart has or the creator doesn't know all the skills or behavior patterns the real person has then another can tell the difference between the original person and the humanoid sentimonster, Such as in "Ladybug", as the two Ladybugs used their powers Cat Noir saw the original was given a fork and the sentimonster was given a large blaster commenting the one beside him was the real one as he remembered that Ladybug's power never gave her a weapon as a Lucky Charm, or in "Gabriel Agreste", when Shadow Moth created Sentigabriel, Félix tore his pants which the real Gabriel doesn't have after releasing him from existence, or in "Optigami", When Shadow Moth created Sentinino, he didn't know the secret handshake the original Nino and Alya shared.
Human sentimonsters can also naturally develop allergies, as Adrien possesses an allergy to feathers.
If a sentimonster is meant to have a human aspect, then it can have any human emotion, like for example, Adrien, in "Glaciator 2", who went into a deep sadness after being scolded by Ladybug for being a couple, and seeing all these billboards around town with pictures of Ladybug and Cat Noir kissing.
Also, as revealed in "Adoration", when Adrien was trying to kiss Marinette and his father disallowed him, he immediately didn't kiss her and went inside his home, while Gabriel twists his ring to control him.
If a sentimonster is under the control of a Butterfly Miraculous wielder and tries to resist akumatization/kamikotization, it will not succeed, as shown in "Ephemeral", when Adrien tried to resist his akumatization, but was thwarted due to Shadow Moth rotating his ring finger.
If a human-made sentimonster knows about their true nature and others are active, and in some cases they see another sentimonster suffering, or being imprisoned/released from existence, then they will develop some kinship for them like true siblings, as Flairmidable developed grief for the Strikebacks after Pegabug teleported them to the Sun, and when him, as Argos regretfully released Red Moon out of existence. While in other cases they may be in shock, horror, denial, be afraid or question their own existence as a person maybe even believing that the memories or feelings they experienced aren't real.
Human sentimonsters can also be miraculous holders, such as Adrien, who uses the Cat Miraculous to become Cat Noir.
Defeat[]
In order to defeat a sentimonster, one must break/damage/destroy the object containing the amok. Once the amokized object is broken/damaged/destroyed, the Amok will be released, and the Sentimonster will disappear into nothingness.
After the object is broken, the owner of the Ladybug Miraculous uses the yo-yo to capture the Amok. The Yo-yo will then "purify" the Amok and turn it back into a feather. It is currently unknown what will happen if the amok was allowed to fly away without being purified.
Ladybug Sentimonster being released from existence after her Amok was removed by Mayura.
If a Sentimonster's amok is duplicated somehow, as was the case with Mega Leech, all of the Amoks must be released, captured, and purified before the Sentimonster can disappear.
The Peacock Miraculous wearer can revoke the amok themselves, thus destroying/releasing the Sentimonster from existence and purifying the Amok without needing the Ladybug Yo-yo. To do this, the Peacock user must simply snap their fingers, the sentimonster(s) will also feel pain during this process as seen in "Feast" and "Ladybug".
However, as seen in "Miraculous Shanghai" and "Gamer 2.0", if a Sentimonster is killed through other means, such as the power of another Miraculous and are on the side of good, they can still be brought back to life with the Miraculous Ladybug, but only if their amoks are still inside their respective objects.

Trivia[]
- The name sentimonster is a portmanteau of "sentiment", a synonym for feelings, and "monster", hinting towards the fact that sentimonsters are monsters formed from emotions.
- If they are used for good, they can be called sentibeings or sentis.[4]
- This power is somewhat similar to Kamikotization, as both involve embuing an item with magic and communicating telepathically with a person.
- Unlike Kamikotization, however, Amokization can embue an object that's been destroyed, although it is still possible to damage it further to release the amok.
- Also, unlike Kamikotization, the sentimonster can only be controlled by the one who possesses the object containing the amok, while the power to control Kamikotized champions belongs to the Butterfly Miraculous owner.
- Just like the Butterfly Miraculous owner can create heroes as well as villains, the Peacock Miraculous holder can create good and evil Sentimonsters.
- Just like Kamikotized heroes and Akumatized villains can turn against the Butterfly Miraculous owner, Sentimonsters can turn against the Peacock Miraculous holder or the one that was controlling them, as long they gain possession of the object containing their amok and both can inflict pain.
- Just like how the Butterfly Miraculous is able to sense the emotions and contact with the Kamikotized Heroes and Akumatized Villains, the Peacock Miraculous holder can feel the sentimonster(s) presence when they're close or harmed, they can also contact them.
- Unlike Kamikotization, however, Amokization can embue an object that's been destroyed, although it is still possible to damage it further to release the amok.
- Sentimonsters are living emotions manifested in physical form and have feelings, so they can also be Akumatized, as seen in "Feast", "Cat Blanc", "Gabriel Agreste" and "Ephemeral".[5] As such, Amokization can fuse itself with Akumatization to create a hybrid mask.
- They can be created by a combination of emotions and not just one.
- While multiple sentimonsters can exist at a given time, a holder is only able to create one at a time.[6]
- For example, Mayura was able to create singular Sentimonsters while Adrien Agreste, Félix Fathom and the Dormant Sentimonster are active.
- This is further proven in "Optigami" and "Representation", as Shadow Moth was able to create Sentialec and Sentinino even while Optigami was active, as Optigami was created by Mayura rather than Shadow Moth, and when Argos was able to create Once Upon a Time even while he and Adrien Agreste are already active.
- Not only that, Colt Fathom was able to create his son while Adrien Agreste is already active.
- An Ancient Chinese Peacock Miraculous holder was shown in an illustration surrounded by multiple sentimonsters, though it is unclear if this was an actual example of multiple sentimonsters being created by the same user or if it could also be an example of the types that can be created.
- Even though users of the Peacock Miraculous can make humanoid sentimonsters that look and sound like the real humans they are based on, they can only copy their memories and mannerisms the miraculous holder knew of.[7]
- In "Emotion", it's revealed that sentimonsters can grant people powers, similarly to kamikotized heroes/akumatized villains such as Catalyst and the Rooster Miraculous' power.
