> a monster problem.

A monster - literally evil personified in semi human form. You can't really get more good guys Vs bad guys than that.

No, a monster is just a beast, without any necessary moral qualities.

> Derived from the Latin monstrum, the word usually connotes something wrong or evil; a monster is generally morally objectionable, physically or psychologically hideous, or a freak of nature.

I have to disagree. The word "monster" is used for things worse than beasts, "something wrong or evil".
