What defines a monster?

Trying to get closer to the theme of this site here..

How do you define monstrous?  What makes you a monster, if you are one?

Certainly those others mentioned in this section could easily be described as monstrous.

Nietzsche once wrote: Battle not with monsters, lest ye become a monster.  Is that true, that monster-hunters end up being worthy of becoming prey of other monster-hunters because the original monster-hunter turns into a monster?  Or is Nietzsche's quote not always true: a monster-hunter can hunt without becoming a monster?

To answer my question first, I think sociopaths are at least somewhat monstrous to a degree though, of course, there is a whole spectrum of "sociopath" ranging from those who are sociopathic in thought only, and not in deed, to the sort of sociopath who becomes a serial killer.

I wouldn't say monsters are merely effed up humans or sick humans.  It is a choice to remain monstrous.

Can the wolves live amongst the sheep and the two manage to have a sort of equilibrium and harmony with each other or will the monsters consume all of the "food," if you will?
