AP 673 - Monster Mash

[VicMonado]

Now we know the classic monsters, Werewolves, Frankenstein's Monster, Vampires etc. But anime itself is pretty good at creating it's own unique creatures. So, in order to celebrate that what are your favourite Monsters unique to anime?

If it were not already referenced in the opening post for this topic, I would have said Berzerk myself. There are all kinds of weird twisted monsters in the manga, not just the God Hand, and a few make it into the anime series and movies.

But I will mention, in no particular order:

(1) Attack on Tiitan's titular monsters, the titans themselves, which are a unique adaption of the giant myth. They're the main antagonists in that they eat people.



(2) Are the monsters of Claymore, demonic creatures which are very similar to the grotesque things from Berzerk.



(3) The homonculai (among others) from Full Metal Alchemist (both series) are borrowed from Western alchemical mythology and exhibit very unsusal traits.


Honorable mention goes to the mushi from Mushishi.

Chiropterans from Blood+, blood-drinking bat-like creatures. They differ from vampires' in that they can only take the form of a beast and that's it. No glamour's or other vampires have in fiction.

The Yoma from Claymore are demon like creatures that hide among the humans and prey on them for food. What makes them unique is that Yoma are Claymores themselves who have given in to the demon put inside them which by extension make the claymores themselves unique.
