Abstract: We study topological as well as dynamical properties of BPS nonabelian magnetic monopoles of Goddard-Nuyts-Olive-Weinberg type in G=SU(N), USp(2N) and SO(N) gauge theories, spontaneously broken to nonabelian subgroups H. We find that monopoles transform under the group dual to H in a tensor representation of rank determined by the corresponding element in pi1(H). When the system is embedded in a calN=2 supersymmetric theory with an appropriate set of flavors with appropriate bare masses, the BPS monopoles constructed semiclassically persist in the full quantum theory. This result supports the identification of ``dual quarks found at r-vacua of calN=2 theories with the nonabelian magnetic monopoles. We present several consistency checks of our monopole spectra.
