monster is really a bad tag. Illustrated well by this implication request, what one calls a "monster" is pretty subjective. A werecreature can be considered a monster in some respects, but there's really no difference between post #5407318 being a werecreature (a worgen, basically WoW's werewolves) and post #5411700 being not. Similarly, some people call pokemon monsters (it's in the name, Pocket Monster), even though many of them are cute/sexy and not at all monstrous, and some people call the creatures from Monster Hunter monsters (again, it's in the name), even though they range from fairly common dragon and sea creature designs with a mix of dinosaur attributes.

I'd rather the tag be changed to something like "monstrous", to more clearly indicate it's about how something looks rather than what they're called "in lore". Though even that may be too subjective still, so it may just be best to get rid of the tag altogether.
