Negative Resistances Question

In the patch notes for Scourge League, the statement was made

Problem: It's possible to obtain high amounts of negative resistance with the Scourge item system

Solution: Impose a cap for the amount of negative resistance a character can have

Specifics: Resistances can no longer be lowered to below -200%

The question I have is does this -200% cap also apply to monsters? In the 'solution', the word 'character' is used, which is normally distinct from the monsters. but in the 'specifics', the wording is more vague.

-Thank you,
