For me (because I have flora and fauna in my book and im really proud of them) its reasoning... my animals have a job for the eco system and thats why I dont consider them monsters. Do they eat people? Yes it can happen, but its not done maliciously, its done with purpose. Now would people technically still call them monsters? Yes, but it depends on which side of the fence they are at. If they truly understood the creatures they would understand their reasoning and to me thats what makes something less of a monster. Understanding. Hopefully that makes sense!
Yeah, coz I've been wondering this since I was first exposed to Pokemon. There are familiar animals existing with Pokemon, so what makes 'common' animals different from monsters? Any case, thanks for weighing in with your answer.
It depends on how often it happens I think. Also, I personally saw in newspapers and whatnot how notorious animals that killed a lot human were called "monster something"; monster shark, monster crocodile, etc. I personally prefer to decide it like this. Monster is an animal or plant that goes out of its way to specifically hunt and eat humans or other fantasy races.
