Thanks Prof. My worry is that since the electric monopole is so easy to spot, its cousin the Dyon should not be so elusive...

In physics, a dyon is a hypothetical particle with both electric and magnetic charges. A dyon with a zero electric charge is usually referred to as a magnetic monopole. Many Grand Unified Theories predict the existence of both magnetic monopoles and dyons.
