Examples of forgetful functors that forget properties include:

Forgetting Commutativity. The inclusion functor $\iota \colon \mathsf{CMon}\hookrightarrow \mathsf{Mon}$ which forgets the property of being commutative.
Forgetting Inverses. The inclusion functor $\iota \colon \mathsf{Grp}\hookrightarrow \mathsf{Mon}$ which forgets the property of having inverses.
