I do prefer mythological monsters over fandom monsters but my view is it's all in good fun and so long as the monster parent is well, something that isn't really human, then you could class them as a monster. I mean, Doctor Who OCs can be considered aliens. Granted a lot of canon Monster High characters are mythology-based but characters like Jackson, Holt and Frankie can be considered rather modern and were based on books like Robert Louis Stevenson's The Strange Case of Jekyll and Hyde and Mary Shelly's Frankenstein and It's my understanding that the authors got their ideas from dreams and their imaginations and not long standing myths that have been around for centuries. But I'd be a massive hypocrite if I said I didn't like monster OCs based on monsters from other fandoms, I've used Nargles and Horriblely Historical Grim Reapers in for some of my OCs' monster parents. My views are I don't have an issue so long as they're well written and something that could be classed as "not human" (which is why I hate "Daughter of the Mental Patient" OCs because for the love of all that is 2110 having a mental illness doesn't make you a monster, metaphorical or otherwise).
