Monster

I looked up the word "monster" at http://www.dictionary.com/ and these are the results I got.


1.
a legendary animal combining features of animal and human form or having the forms of various animals in combination, as a centaur, griffin, or sphinx.
2.
any creature so ugly or monstrous as to frighten people.
3.
any animal or human grotesquely deviating from the normal shape, behavior, or character.
4.
a person who excites horror by wickedness, cruelty, etc.
5.
any animal or thing huge in size.
6.
Biology.
a.
an animal or plant of abnormal form or structure, as from marked malformation or the absence of certain parts or organs.
b.
a grossly anomalous fetus or infant, esp. one that is not viable.
7.
anything unnatural or monstrous. –adjective
8.
huge; enormous; monstrous: a monster tree.

I think that all these definitions are ok. I believe that a monster is just a bad person or creature who thinks it's ok to be mean or scary to someone. Sometimes monsters can be portrayed as scary or as just a furry little funny creature. Like in Monsters, Inc. the disney movie they started out making the monsters scare the little kids, then make them laugh. I think it's all just just what you think they are and what they do in your mind. I think monsters are scary looking creatures or mean people that sccare and are mean to people.
