I think monster ideas come from many places.
Some are from mythology. An adapted idea from fables.
Like with vampires for instance. Some are fascinated buy thought of immortality. A creature that lives at night. A creature that feeds on blood. It has strengths and weaknesses just like any other living thing.
I think the construction of a monster is from a gathering of fascinations that are placed together. It's the birth of a new image, and a new thought, but from already existing ideas.
A unicorn is a horse with a solitary, spiraling ivory horn
A dragon is, I think, an exaggerated idea from a dinosaur or from the reptile species
We already have amazingly odd and bizarre creatures on Earth,
it's not so difficult to imagine our own
