Are there any such things as monsters?

Monsters

Some people believe there are monsters and some don't. In any case, there are three types of monsters:

  • There are those creatures that are seldom seen (or never seen before) and that because of their look or attitude might be referred anecdotally as "monsters". Many so called monsters have been proven to be a previously unknown specie as i.e. the octopus or the Tasmanian devil.
  • There are known animals or individuals who because of deformities or appearance that deviate from average aesthetics are sometimes called, pejoratively and erroneously, "monsters".
  • There are creatures, product of the imagination, populating legends and myth that are called "monsters"
