okay, settle a dispute for me and my fiance......
If you had to classify a vampire would you consider it to be a "monster"? or is it best classified elsewhere, (such as undead, other).
Think long and hard about this one kiddies.
Thanks

Since they are not real, then they fall into the Monster Mythology of our world...they have a long history and very little verification to their actual existence...besides the present day cults that admire Vampire's, but they don't actually have the traits of the mythological Monster. but they can be dangerous. Disturbed and Evil Men and Women are the real monsters of this world, no matter what they claim their affliction is!

According two two of the oxford dictionary definitions;
1: An imaginary or legendary creature, such as a Harpy or Centaur that combines parts from various human or animal forms.
2: One who inspires horror or disgust. ex-a Monster of selfishness.
It would be both a monster and an undead. You're both right.

I would classify as undead for gaming purposes.
If you put one in a movie, it would be consider a monster.
So it could be both. Can't say its one or the other, at least in my opinion.
Been a while since I have been called a kid *grin*

Well, first things first: vampires don't exist.
But if they did, I would classify them as monsters because 'monsters' is a term used to refer to killing or mutilating creatures.

well we can classify alot of things as monsters including humans so i prefer to judge based on character but as you probably dont believe in them i would classify them under something else

Yes. I would say that monsters are the whole group and any name you could give would fit in that group: vampire, zombie, boogeyman, frankenstein's monster (easy one) werewolf, etc.

Yes they're monsters - they feed off of people, killing them in the process. How is that not a monster?

i would classify it as a bat in human form. just like a werewolf is a human in wolf form.

A vampire is a very much a cursed monster.... It is dead and the demon that animate that dead body is the thing that give the vampire the un-dead title....... also it is the demon within that that give that dead corpse the power of illusion..........................................................................................
