In addition to what Timjer said, it's noted that aside from monster races that practice it as a common part of their culture (i.e. devil bugs), incest is rare despite it not being taboo.

As for how aggressive monsters reach adulthood single, one implication is simply that many can't make the long journeys to find a mate until they reach adulthood. Monsters get strong and self sufficient quite quickly, but there is still usually a substantial difference in power and ability (be it hunting for food or otherwise) from a truly child-stage monster and a adult one.
