Monster
Claw-marked energy drink
A monster is a frightening creature, real or imaginary—dragons, werewolves, the thing under the bed.
The word extends to anything abnormally large: a monster truck, a monster storm.
A person of exceptional cruelty or depravity is a monster: The dictator was a monster.
Children use it playfully: You little monster!
To monster someone (British) is to criticize or harass them aggressively.
