Hi Ulysses.
I'm not sure where you got the deffinition of monster as any creature that
was once not evil but has turned that way, but certainly according to the
fantasy cosmology of many alternate histories that is not the case. The
daleks as I said were created that way, genetically
Wow, Dark. Nice discussion. About the only monster I can think of who
might fit Ulysses' definition is frankenstein's monster from Shelly's
books. (not necessarily the one in the B horror movies). Maybe Young
frankenstein, oddly enough captures that monster's spirit best as far as
movies go.
Amen Dark. Could not have said it better myself. (not for a lack of
trying.).

How do you describe genetically hating, scientifically? What genes would

My definition of monster is to show that not all creatures in reality
need to possess evil. In games and in non-real places, maybe, but that

Pardon the long time it has taken me to reply to your question. With the 3d

Sorry about the late reply. I did consider such a possibility, but I don't
think it will be a viable solution. For one thing, when you enumerate audio
