It's an interesting divergence compared to the sorts of enemies you fight in most Western RPGs. Imagine running into any of these guys or the evil house from FF7 in an Elder Scrolls

    Honesty the one thing that bugs me about Wrpgs is the lack of monster diversity.

    The West has many cool Celtic monsters to draw from and a whole pack of demons (have you seen Buer?!

    look at this!)

    In fact you are more likely to see cool western monsters in Jrpgs! What is wrong with the west, they don't even know their own cool shit, hell, they only just discovered what biblical angels looked like.

      I think in the West game devs just treat monsters like large, aggressive animals and try to have them make sense as biological organisms
