The aim of this short review is to give an introduction to monopoles and to present theoretical derivation of two particular monopoles in ferromagnetic metals, a hedgehog monopole and a spin damping monopole. Spin damping monopoles can be generated in simple systems such as a junction of a ferromagnet and a heavy element with strong spin-orbit interaction such as Pt. This monopole is essential in coupling electronics with magnetism, and is thus expected to play an essential role in spintronics.
