Calling them "Liminals" has a two-fold meaning, as two of it's meanings can apply to the monster community currently becoming a part of human society.


 * 1) liminality pretty much just means "something going through a change (e.g. coming of age ritual, transitioning from one religion to another, etc.)". Look it up on Wikipedia, it's actually quite an interesting read.

From Google:

liminal /ˈlɪmɪn(ə)l/ adjective technical 1. relating to a transitional or initial stage of a process. 2. occupying a position at, or on both sides of, a boundary or threshold.


 * 1) The second one, "Liminal Being" is the one most closely associated with the monsters of this series as it is essentially beings part human and part something else; either by their race being a mix/having a human and non human parent, cyborgs, other mixes.

Therefore, the monsters being refered to as "Liminals" refers to both what they are and what process they're going through.
