Yeahh, I agree. I dunno where I thought I read 'hundreds of years' but I can't find it anywhere and besides that them living so long would be a bit strange anyways...

From the Monster ecology page though: "While their form as “predators” has greatly changed, monsters are still predators that are above humans on the food chain even now. For that reason there are naturally fewer individuals than humans, and it is much more difficult for them to multiply. Compared to humans, it is harder for them to get pregnant. Monster and human couples inevitably have far more sex than human couples, but even so, it's much more difficult for them to become pregnant compared to humans"

So yeah.. what Party said. Their birthrates are generally lower.
