Keywords themselves have no rules meaning. They exist solely as a reference for other rules. For example, a rule could say "This weapon wounds MONSTERS on a 2+", which would only affect those units with the MONSTER keyword.
One major example is the rule that allows units with FLY to ignore terrain. It's not the keyword itself that allows it, it's the rule referencing the keyword that does.
Unlike previous editions that had special overarching rules for Monstrous Creatures, 8th has no such overarching ruleset for them.
