Tailed beasts

The story of Naruto is a story of men and monsters. And chief among these monsters are the "Tailed beasts" colossal monsters that shape the very groundwork of the entire narrative form literally the first page to the last.

What is a tailed beast? In its simplest form, a tailed beast is essentially a massive sentient monster created out of pure chakra. They are so ingrained into the fabric of the world that even if killed they will eventually be reborn. They are monumentally powerful and capable of creating attacks that can level entire cities. As often as possible, ninja seek to seal these monsters inside of human hosts in order to control and channel their power. This is what is known as a Jinchuriki.

Here I've broken down everything about these beasts and how to use them into a few easily accessible sections:
