AoS Dread Saurian not a monster?

[reAaron_Stoy(Thqwib)]

I was playing a game vs a friend. My dread saurian is in combat with his archaon and he attacks with his sword and gets 2 wound roles of 6. Archaon has an ability (don't remember the name of it) where if he directs all his sword attacks into a HERO or MONSTER and gets two or more wound roles of 6 then the target is slain instantly. So I thought my saurian was dead but I checked it's warscrole and it doesn't have the monster key word, which was shocking since its about as monster as you can get, so technically it shouldn't die to that ability. Is this a mistake on its warscrole or is it meant to not be a monster. It's not a hero either. It's keywords are ORDER, DAEMON, CELESTIAL SERAPHON, DREAD SAURIAN. We decided that in this instance it wouldn't die but from then on after it will be a monster. Wondering what are everyone else's thoughts on this.

Nope, it is not a monster. Doesn't have the keyword. I think thos was intended so that it could still get cover from terrain. It still counts as behemoth though.

Awesome, thanks. That's great for me then. Poor archaon, it's such a bad match-up for him. 700 points of everchosen gets ripped to pieces so quickly.

The biggest monster model they make is not a monster.

Option A:
That's because it's DREAD SAURIAN... to simply say "monster" is diminishing.
You don't call King Kong a monkey.

Option B:
They did a mistake.
