Description
Use this for bipedal monsters with a humanoid form. Classic examples include old-school movie characters such as Nosferatu and Frankenstein's monster. This often involves animations and images with a creepy or otherwise violent atmosphere.
Don't use this if a character has a basic form way unlike a human being (examples being creatures with multiple heads, a bunch of legs, etc). Alternate labels such as 'alien' and just 'monster' probably apply instead. It's also not applicable to characters that can be described as 'cute'. If a creature looks broadly non-threatening, somewhat human-like, and so on, use other labels such as 'monster girl' and simply 'humanoid'.
