Legacies executive producer Brett Matthews revealed that the show's tradition of featuring a new monster in each episode will change in Season 3.

"It will change 10 percent," Matthews told ComicBook.com. "That is still the mythology that this season is built upon, the Malivore mythology and monsters are obviously integral to that."

Matthews added that the newest season will show "the sort of greatest hits we all know monster-wise, dragons and gargoyles and these are sort of name-branded in the collective consciousness and then our specific, lesser-known monsters, things like the dryad and what have you." He continued, "So, like all of those will very much be in play, like, what does every monster mean? What is the point of the monster? Is every monster a monster?"

The executive producer clarified that monsters are still "very much in our DNA" when it comes to how the show will look in Season 3 but used more intentionally to further the story and character development.

"It was one of the things that Legacies especially was built upon, but the show will continue to evolve this year because, at the end of the day, the monsters are only interesting in terms of what these things will bring out of our characters," Matthews noted. "As our characters continue to grow and evolve, and I think Season 3 is a big one for that, then the mythology will [too]."

Seasons 1 and 2 of Legacies featured several monsters who arrived via Malivore's mud pit. Among them were a dragon, the Headless Horseman, a unicorn, a mummy, a gargoyle, Krampus and Cupid. The series also featured frequent appearances by The Necromancer, who will continue to play into Season 3's plot.

While Legacies' latest season will be less monster-centric, a new monster appeared in its Season 3 premiere on Jan. 21. In "We're Not Worthy," Salvatore School Headmaster Alaric Saltzman recruited student Milton "MG" Greasley to help him plan a field day. As fans likely expected, things didn't go as planned, and the Super Squad came face-to-face with a figure in the Legend of King Arthur: Nimue, the Lady of the Lake.

Legacies stars Danielle Rose Russell as Hope Mikaelson, Jenny Boyd as Lizzie Saltzman, Kaylee Bryant as Josie Saltzman, Quincy Fouse as Milton "MG" Greasley, Aria Shahghasemi as Landon Kirby, Peyton Alex Smith as Rafael, Chris Lee as Kaleb, Leo Howard as Ethan Mac, Ben Levin as Jed, with Matthew Davis as Alaric Saltzman. New episodes air Thursdays at 9 p.m. ET/PT on The CW.
