Résumé anglais Monsters appears frequently in the novels of Pérez Galdós. The influence of medicine, and clinic is obvious in naturalistic descriptions of monstruous characters where the problem of heredity and education arises. The influence of romantic conceptions in the serie of Torquemada and Angel Guerra, remains in the comparison between genious and monster. This biological conception then evolves into a psychological one, in the dreams, nightmares or hallucinations, particularly in Angel Guerra. The hybrid monters inspired from several painters (Breughel, Bosch, Goya) are the result of the sick imagination of the characters and represent clearly fantasies of the childhood. The recurrence of precise details, as the green eyes of the monsters, refers to the Oedipus  complex.
