Monsters exist, but in a world where we see through a glass darkly, they are difficult to identify.
When decisions and actions are consistently pointed away from the good, these pile up and form a monstrous demeanor, and the person doing so becomes a monster. Sometimes we misidentify persons as monsters because their decisions and actions are of greater influence than we deem appropriate. But monsters are identified in relation to goodness not power. Sometimes we misidentify persons as monsters because they are formed in ways that seem to be distortions of reality, an they may look think or act quite differently than we do. But monsters are identified by evil not difference.
Monsters are monsters first in the heart and second in expression. Indeed, some monsters put on such a good exterior that their internal anti-goodness is difficult to recognize. These are the most despicable monsters.
