OP No, Maahey, monster is good old-fashioned Latin from monstrum 'evil omen, portent' from monstro 'to point out, show, indicate' from moneo 'to remind, warn, advise'. The Greek word for monster, teras (both nouns are neuter), gives us our prefix for trillions: kilo-, mega-, giga-, tera-, and then comes peta-.
