The Ethnicity Monarch is a character that is proclaimed (by themselves or others) as the ruler of a specific ethnic group, culture or species. This character blurs the lines between The High King and the King of the Homeless, and can also be one or the other. What defines this type of ruler is that their primary form of authority does not come from land or physical borders. They are considered the authority on a specific group of people, no matter where members of that group live. The King of Dragons, for example, would be the ruler of all dragons everywhere in the world and beyond. That said, it's likewise possible for this to fall victim to Circular Reasoning. Let's start with someone declaring themselves the King of Dragonia, and Dragonia happens to be the only known place Dragons are found. Under this logic, this person is now the King of Dragons as well, and by extension all Dragons are also Dragonians. This likewise can mean that any place that Dragons live is considered part of Dragonia, and he's the King there even if it's beyond the original borders. After one final leap of logic, if Dragons are found that don't originate from Dragonia, the so-called King of Dragons may still demand fealty because otherwise their title isn't technically true. If you're confused, you're not alone; this sort of semantic slippery sloping is often how wars get started. This is ubiquitous among Single-Species Nations, where being the ruler of a country and the ruler of a species are functionally the same thing. May be the leader of a Barbarian Tribe. Also likely to be applied to a Monster Progenitor. Usually, the Monster Lord not only overlaps with this but is physically different — possibly bigger and tougher than the rest of their species. Dracula is often called "lord of the vampires" in some works, and Satan, Maou or some other similar entity is often the ruler and king of all demons in various works of fiction. See also Ethnic God, especially if said deity is a God-Emperor. Compare Odd Job Gods, who may be the god of a particular group of people. |

Dragon Age: Dragon Age: Inquisition: It's revealed in Trespasser that the Elven gods (collectively known as the Evanuris) were actually very powerful Elven mages who ruled over their people as gods. Within the Evanuris, Ghilan'nain is the "Mother of All Halla" and either the creator and/or first of their kind. In the lore, she later also becomes their goddess after ascending to divinity. |

The Silmarillion: The High King of the Elves is Ingwë, a Time Abyss who might have been one of the first generation awakened by Iluvatar. Although he's revered by all elves and is ranked above the High Kings of the other elf tribes, he rules from the Home of the Gods, and therefore has no active role in Middle-Earth; his influence in Tolkien's Legendarium is only seen through his descendants. In Middle-Earth, the senior-most King of the High Elves is styled 'High King of the Noldor'. It is held by Fingolfin for most of the First Age, before being briefly held by Fingon and Turgon, each ruling for a couple decades at most, before being held by Gil-Galad for the remainder of the First Age and the entirety of the Second. After Gil-Galad's death in the War of the Last Alliance, the title is technically defunct (of the three legitimate claimants, two have no interest in ruling anything larger than a small city, and the third is in the Undying Lands), and Lord Cirdan the Shipwright is left as the steward of Gil-Galad's broken former kingdom in Lindon. In the First Age, the King of Doriath was the undisputed ruler of the Wood Elves, with other Wood-Elf lords deferring to him. In the Second Age, Oropher took up this mantle as King of the Woodland Realm, with his son Thranduil inheriting it in the Third Age- and by the events of The Hobbit was the only King of Elves in Middle-Earth Period. |

Discworld: Trolls are made of "metamorphorical" rock, meaning they take the forms of various types of minerals. A diamond troll, because he can regulate his body temperature and thus overclock his silicon brain, is automatically the indisputable king of all trolls. In Thud! we meet such a one, Mr. Shine. The Low King of the Dwarves is their "highest" authority, so much so that the ability of a potential new one in The Fifth Elephant to revoke the dwarfish status of anyone living above ground is a serious threat to the ones living in Ankh-Morpork. The Elves are all ruled by their King and Queen, although the dramatic difference between the Queen's agressive designs on the Disc and the King's phlegmatic belief that it'll fall to them eventually means that they specifically side with one or the other. Archchancellor Ridcully is the recognized leader of all wizards everywhere by virtue of being the Archchancellor of Unseen University. There is another Archchancellor running a university in Fourecks, but that's too far away to matter apparently. The opening of a second Unseen University in much close Brazenecks in Unseen Academicals, with its own Archchancellor (original UU's former Dean of Students), comes very close to starting a war over whose authority trumps whose, but fortunately they decide to settle the matter on a game of Football. |

Wonder Woman and her mother Hippolyta have each had the title of Queen of the Amazons, although the latter is usually the one in command. During the relaunch of DC Infinite Frontier, Diana's sister Nubia becomes queen as Diana is now Guardian of the Multiverse and Hippolyta has taken the Wonder Woman mantle. While most of the Amazons reside on Paradise Island there is a group in Egypt, that does not recognize Hippolyta as Queen initially, and a group in the Amazon Rain Forest. | |

Dungeons & Dragons: Bahamut is stated to be the King and most powerful of the metallic dragons. This portrayal of the character was later adopted by various forms of media, such as Final Fantasy. Other dragon septs have similar godlike rulers; Tiamat, the ruler of the chromatic dragons, is the most well-known, but others include Sardior for the gem dragons and Gruaghlothor for the ferrous dragons. Their specific natures has varied over editions — sometimes they're actually the Ethnic Gods of their associated dragon groups, and other times they're "merely" immortal, extremely powerful rulers — but in all cases they claim authority over and allegiance from all members of their draconic families in all worlds. | |

Mortal Kombat: Depending on the continuity, Sindel or Kitana reigns as Queen of the Edenians, meaning all of the people that originate from their realm, Edenia. In the reboot continuity, Edenia is stated to be permanently gone as its own realm, which means that all Edenians are now Outworlders. Some still look up to Sindel/Kitana as their leader, but it's irrelevant because all Outworlders have to obey whoever rules as Khan. Goro is the Prince of the Shokan (half-Dragon) race. Later, he is succeeded by Sheeva. |

In Gargoyles, Oberon is king of the Third Race, who are native to the magical island of Avalon. However, Oberon banished them all for 1,001 years, during which time they live among mortals but are still subject to Oberon's laws. (Though pretty much everyone twisted them a bit.) Likewise, when it's time to return to Avalon for the Gathering, the members who refuse (Banshee and Puck) are tracked down and punished. | |

A Song of Ice and Fire: A few characters or factions attempt to exploit this trope to their benefit or the benefit of others. The ruler that sits on the Iron Throne of Westeros is not only proclaimed King of the Seven Kingdoms and Protector of the Realm, but also "King of the Andals, the Rhoynar and the First Men", making them ruler of pretty much every human being who originated or settled within the continent, no matter where they may be.note The Ironborn are not considered to belong to any of those three groups, and worship their own god. They're also technically not on the continent, but on islands off the western coast. However, the last time they tried to declare independence they lost in a Curb-Stomp Battle. It's unclear whether the Iron Islands are counted as one of the Seven Kingdoms, which actually contain nine distinct realms. The King Beyond the Wall is an honorary title that is given to any leader who has done the impressive task of uniting the various clans of Free Folk under a common banner. However, this authority is considered a courtesy—said "King" has no legitimate leadership or authority to give orders to any tribe but their own. The Free Folk, after all, pride themselves on being free. Mother of Dragons is an epithet given to Daenerys Targaryen as the last known person in the world who is able to bond or communicate with fire-breathing dragons. Though the title is technically a formality as there are only three dragons, and Daenerys' only connection with them is her magical bloodline, no one is in a position to argue because three dragons is more than enough to bring entire nations to their knees. |

The Bible refers to Jesus Christ as "the King of the Jews" in the new testament. This upset both The Roman Empire and the official Jewish leadership note Namely the Pharisees, whose doctrines developed into the Rabbinic Judaism we know today, while Christianity rapidly became its own faith., since Jesus was born a commoner with no actual political authority. In Christian belief, though, his role as The Messiah and the son of God more than made up for that. | |

After Gil-Galad's death in the War of the Last Alliance, the title is technically defunct (of the three legitimate claimants, two have no interest in ruling anything larger than a small city, and the third is in the Undying Lands), and Lord Cirdan the Shipwright is left as the steward of Gil-Galad's broken former kingdom in Lindon. In the First Age, the King of Doriath was the undisputed ruler of the Wood Elves, with other Wood-Elf lords deferring to him. In the Second Age, Oropher took up this mantle as King of the Woodland Realm, with his son Thranduil inheriting it in the Third Age- and by the events of The Hobbit was the only King of Elves in Middle-Earth Period. By the middle of the Second Age, the King of Khazad-Dum had become the de facto King of all Dwarves, with the destruction of the Kingdoms of Nogrod and Belogost at the end of the First Age, and the destruction of the Dwarf Kingdom of Gundabad in the middle of the Second Age. When the Dwarves were evicted in the Third Age and their seat of power was relocated to Erebor, the King Under The Mountain took up this role, and other Dwarf territories styled their ruler simply as 'Lord'. The Hobbit: The Lord of the Eagles is the ruler of the giant Eagles who live in the Misty Mountains. This is exaggerated in the epilogue, where he becomes King of All Birds due to his part in the Battle of Five Armies. |

Warhammer 40,000: Humanity is united under the Imperium of Man, ruled by the mythical God-Emperor of Mankind. Every human in the galaxy is expected to show fealty to the Emperor, whether they're part of a star-spanning state in their own right or eking out a tribal existence on a forgotten backwater, and disobedience is ruthlessly clamped down upon. The Imperium's founding myth is the Great Crusade, a galaxy-spanning military campaign in which the Emperor's legions located and claimed every human-settled planet they could find, whether through diplomacy or force of arms. Szarekh the Silent King was once the ruler of all Necrontyr. In the modern day, after his having been absent from the galaxy for millions years, the Necrontyr empire has long since fractured into hundreds of squabbling dynasties, but Szarekh is determined to unify the Necrons under his rule once more and lead them to victory against their many enemies. This is contested by some of the more successful Phaerohs, such as Imotekh, who would rather see themselves in this role. |

Dragon Age: Inquisition: It's revealed in Trespasser that the Elven gods (collectively known as the Evanuris) were actually very powerful Elven mages who ruled over their people as gods. | |

Aquaman is the king of "All Marine Life", according to some interpretations of the character. His ability to talk to sea creatures is sometimes limited to how dependent said creatures are on water. So fish will heed his commands almost instantly while aquatic fowl may take a bit more coaxing. Some interpretations also say that the animals have the choice of refusing his commands if they're not happy with them, but most respect Aquaman as their champion. | |

My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic: This is downplayed with most rulers, who are the monarchs of entire species by virtue of most species only living in one nation, but played straight with the Dragon Lords, who are the rulers of all dragons everywhere. Dragons are shown to live scattered through at least Equestria in addition to the Dragon Lands proper, but the Dragon Lords' magical summons is able to reach any dragon, including ones that live in other countries and aren't part of the main dragon culture. The current incumber, Ember, explicitly refers to herself as lord of all dragons. | |

The Moonstone Cup: All major species are united into cohesive nations with a single leader. Examples named in the story include Luna and Celestia the pony princess, and formerly pony empresses; Najstariot the dragon queen; Hadalsnan al-Dhi'b, the king of the ghuls; and Amarok, the ruler of the giant wolves of the north. | |

South Park: Defied in "With Apologies to Jesse Jackson," in which the Marsh family deals with the fallout after Randy uses the word "nigger" on national television. Trying to make amends, Randy publicly apologizes to the Reverend Jesse Jackson, a black man and prominent figure in national politics, and Stan brings this fact to his black friend Token to try to make everything okay. It doesn't work. | |

Inheritance Cycle: The elves, dwarves, and werecats each have a monarch, although the first two are only found in their own lands (the forest of Du Weldenvarden and the Beor Mountains, respectively) and the third is (presumably) nomadic. The elves and dwarves have an Elective Monarchy, though in both cases of succession seen on-page the elected monarch was related to the previous one. It's unknown how the werecat king is chosen. | |

Family Guy: Parodied in "April in Quahog". When Peter thinks the end of the world is at hand, he decides to say the "you-know-what-word" in a predominantly African-American neighborhood. However, he returns with a crown, cape, jeweled staff, and sash reading "King of the Black People", as Peter was apparently so respected for doing something so risky that the African-Americans named him their leader. | |

There are the Skrull, Kree, and Shiar Empires, all with their own rulers. Typically, their authority is only over Imperial territory, but they're also treated as the rulers of a homogeneous racial group. This is especially apparent in Young Avengers when it's discovered that Hulkling has the ancestry of both Kree and Skrull royalty, which prompts both Empires into fighting over which gets to "claim" him. | |

Where Loyalties Lie: Each race has its own immortal, deific ruler who governs a part of the natural world and serves as the psychopomp for its respective race. Besides Luna and Celestia, who govern ponies and the day/night cycle, the story describes Emperor Magnus, who governs griffins and the wind. | |

The Hobbit: The Lord of the Eagles is the ruler of the giant Eagles who live in the Misty Mountains. This is exaggerated in the epilogue, where he becomes King of All Birds due to his part in the Battle of Five Armies. | |
