big shape moving in the darkness and all you can see are its glinting eyes (sexual)

I do love the monsterfucking & romance genre so so much, but I refuse to get into the monster shifting bullshit. So he's a werewolf or a dragon or a vampire or [insert any monster here], which is great, awesome even - but you only find him hot when he shifts to his human form?? weak. pathetic. you need to open your mind I don't want no oiled up, dehydrated, tiktok thirst trap looking ass dude with the most generic haircut you can possibly imagine. when I say I want to fuck the monster I mean THE MONSTER

I think the biggest thing mascot horror things need to get a grip on is the reasonable balance of cute/creepy. The mascot in question needs to be cute enough to realistically be for children but scary enough to actually make for effective horror. Most games always lean too far in either direction and idk maybe it's just me but immersion with these kinds of games are important for me to actually find enjoyment in them.
